How soon can I see my return show up on my transcript after filing?
Filed my taxes yesterday through TurboTax and I'm trying to figure out when I'll be able to see it on my transcript. Checked WMR and it says received but nothing showing up in my transcript yet. Anyone know how long this usually takes?

Typically takes 24-48 hours for e-filed returns to show up on your transcript. If you check your Return Transcript, you should see it there first. Account transcript updates might take a few more days to reflect the new filing.

Hey guys just wanted to share something that helped me - I started using taxr.ai to check my transcripts and it's been a game changer. It costs $1 but gives you super detailed info about your refund timeline and explains everything. Way better than checking WMR everyday https://taxr.ai

•It basically reads your transcript and tells you exactly whats going on - like if theres delays, when you'll get paid, what codes mean. saved me hours of googling fr

Keep in mind if you filed on a weekend or holiday it might take an extra day or too for processing to start 👀

Just went through this last week! E-filed on Tuesday and it showed up on my transcript Thursday morning. The Return Transcript updates first like Brady mentioned, then the Account Transcript follows a day or two later. Since you filed Sunday, you're probably looking at Wednesday/Thursday for it to appear. The IRS systems definitely don't process over weekends so that adds to the delay.
