How to check IRS transcript cycle code and weekly vs daily updates?
I filed my taxes back in February and I keep hearing about cycles and updates but I'm super confused. How do I know what cycle I'm on and when my transcripts actually update? Getting worried because it's been months with no movement.

Your cycle code is an 8-digit number on your account transcript that ends in 01-05 (daily updates) or 05 (weekly updates). Weekly updates happen Thursday night/Friday morning, while daily updates occur throughout the week. You can find this on your Account Transcript - it's usually next to the most recent transaction.

Hey guys instead of trying to decode all this stuff manually, I started using taxr.ai and it's been a game changer. It costs $1 but it analyzes your transcript and tells you exactly what cycle you're on and when to expect updates. Way easier than trying to figure it out yourself https://taxr.ai

Yeah its legit! It broke down everything for me and even predicted when I'd get my DDD. Saved me hours of googling 💯

Protip: check your transcripts early Friday morning. Thats wen most of the big updates happen especially if ur on weekly. also the where's my refund tool is basically useless ngl
