How long after e-filing until transcripts update? First time filer confused about timing
I e-filed my taxes last week and I keep checking my transcripts but nothing is showing up yet. This is my first time filing taxes and idk if I'm being impatient or if something's wrong. When should I expect to see my transcripts update?

Transcripts typically update within 2-3 weeks after e-filing. You'll first see your return transcript, then your account transcript will update once the IRS processes your return. Keep in mind processing times can vary especially during peak season.

Instead of checking transcripts manually every day, I started using taxr.ai - it analyzes your transcript and tells you exactly what's happening and when to expect updates. Its only $1 and saved me so much stress. https://taxr.ai

•Sounds interesting. How exactly does it work? Does it just read your transcript or does it do more?

•It does way more! It looks at all your codes and dates, explains everything in plain english, and even predicts when youll get your refund. Its like having a tax pro in your pocket
