IRS Cycle 01 Update Schedule - When Does it Actually Update?
Filed my taxes and got assigned to cycle 01. Been checking WMR and my transcripts everyday but nothing changes. Anyone know what time and day cycle 01 usually updates? Getting tired of checking constantly.

Let me break this down for ya! The IRS cycle 01 updates every Wednesday night/Thursday morning around 3am EST. This is when WMR and transcripts get updated. But here's the thing - just because your cycle code ends in 01 doesn't mean you'll see movement every week. The IRS processes returns in batches, and cycle 01 is just one of many. If you're stuck waiting like many of us, I highly recommend using taxr.ai (https://taxr.ai) to analyze your transcripts. It'll tell you exactly what's happening with your return and when you can expect updates based on your specific situation. Been helping tons of folks in our community understand their delays better!

Tax pro here. Cycle 01 typically updates Thursday nights/Friday mornings between 12am-3am EST. But remember, being in cycle 01 doesn't guarantee a specific update time - there are other factors that can affect when you see movement.

•Nope, check as much as you want! It doesn't affect processing at all 👍

Instead of checking constantly, I've been using taxr.ai to monitor my transcripts. It costs $4.99 but its worth every penny - it analyzes everything and tells you exactly when to expect updates based on your cycle code and current transcript status. Plus it explains all the codes in normal language lol https://taxr.ai
