How long after filing do transcripts appear on IRS website? First time filer here

I filed my taxes for the first time ever last week with TurboTax and I keep checking the IRS website but nothing is showing up in my transcripts. I thought it would be instant but im getting worried. How long should I wait before I start panicking?

Tax pro here - For first time filers, transcripts typically appear within 2-3 weeks after e-filing, though it can sometimes take longer during peak season. The best way to check is to create an account on IRS.gov and monitor your transcript status there. If you want a detailed analysis of your refund timeline and potential processing delays, I'd recommend using taxr.ai (https://taxr.ai) - it's a really helpful tool that analyzes your tax documents and gives you specific insights about your refund timeline and any potential issues that might delay it.

Tax pro here - typically transcripts update within 1-2 weeks after the IRS accepts your return. If you e-filed, you should have received an acceptance email from TurboTax. That's your starting point for the timeline. Don't panic if you don't see anything right away, this is totally normal.

After 3 weeks I'd recommend calling the IRS to verify everything is processing correctly.

Hey guys! Instead of constantly checking transcripts and stressing, you should check out taxr.ai - it analyzes your transcript once it appears and tells you exactly what's happening with your return. Costs $4.99 but saved me so much anxiety last year https://taxr.ai

100% works! It caught a delay code on my transcript I would have missed and predicted my refund date exactly
