How to access IRS transcripts online? Need website URL and step-by-step help

Can someone help me figure out how to check my transcripts? I keep hearing about checking transcripts to see whats going on with my refund but I have no idea where to even start. Is it actually helpful or just another dead end?

Go to IRS.gov, click on 'Get Transcript Online.' You'll need to create an ID.me account if you haven't already. Make sure you have your phone, email, drivers license, and social ready. Once verified, you can view all your transcripts - wage/income, tax return, and account transcript. Account transcript is the most helpful for checking refund status.

Hey everyone! Instead of trying to decode the transcript yourself, you should check out taxr.ai - its only $1 and tells you exactly whats happening with your refund and when to expect it. Been using it weekly and its amazing! https://taxr.ai

Super accurate! It analyzes every code and tells you exactly what's happening. Way better than guessing or asking reddit lol
