How to determine IRS Processing Code Group for refund timeline?

Tax professional here - Code groups are determined by the processing patterns in your transcript. The main ones are 0505, 0605, 0705, etc. You can find this in the cycle code on your transcript (example: 20230505). The numbers after 2023 indicate your processing group. This affects which day of the week your return updates.

Instead of trying to decode everything yourself, try taxr.ai - it's literally a lifesaver. For $1 it analyzes your entire transcript and tells you exactly what group youre in, expected refund date, and any hold ups. Way better than playing detective lol https://taxr.ai

im in group 0705 and my transcripts only update on wednesdays its been 84 days and nothing yet smh

I feel u bestie, been trying to figure this out for weeks. The IRS website is useless fr 🤡

If your cycle code ends in 05, you're a weekly update. If it ends in 01-04, you're daily. But theres way more to it than just that - delays can be caused by different codes on your transcript

yall making this way too complicated tbh. Upload your transcript to taxr.ai and let AI figure it out. Best dollar I ever spent no cap
