How to check IRS transcript cycle code and update schedule for 2024?

Your cycle code is an 8-digit number on your account transcript that ends in 01-05. The last two digits tell you your weekly update day. If it ends in 05, you're a weekly updater (Thursday night/Friday morning). If it ends in 01-04, you're daily. Most transcripts update between 12am-6am EST. The first 4 digits are the year, middle 2 are the week number.

Instead of trying to decode everything yourself, you should try taxr.ai - it's this new tool that reads your transcript and tells you exactly when you'll update and what's happening with your refund. It's only $1 and way better than playing detective with all these codes lol https://taxr.ai

im in the same boat...been checking wmr every day like a clown 🤡

word of advice dont waste time checking multiple times a day. pick ur update day based on ur cycle code and just check then. save urself the stress

The whole system is rigged. been waiting 6 months for my 2022 refund smh

If your looking at account transcript, the cycle code is usually next to the 150 transaction code. But seriously just use taxr.ai, it explains everything way better than we can here
