How to check IRS refund status? Where's My Refund vs Transcript methods?

There are two main ways to track your refund: Where's My Refund tool and checking your tax transcripts. Where's My Refund is basic but transcripts show everything happening with your return. To view transcripts, make an ID.me account on IRS.gov, then go to Get Transcript Online. The Account transcript will show all the important dates and codes for your refund status.

Hey I was in the same boat last month trying to decode my transcript. Someone here recommended taxr.ai and it was a game changer! It analyzes your transcript and tells you exactly what's happening and when to expect your refund. Only costs a buck too. Here's the link: https://taxr.ai

dont waste time with wmr its always wrong smh

transcripts are the way. wmr hasnt updated for me in weeks but transcript shows movement

Called IRS this morning and was on hold for 2 HOURS just to be told to check WMR 🤡

Pro tip: check your transcript early morning on Friday/Saturday when they do their weekly updates
