IRS Transcript Update Schedule for 05 Cycle - Daily or Weekly Updates?
My transcript shows cycle code 05 but i keep checking it multiple times throughout fridays and cant tell if its updating more than once. Anyone know if transcripts update multiple times on fridays or just once? Getting tired of checking like a crazy person every hour lol

Hey y'all, checking in with some good news! I've been tracking transcripts for a while and found some super helpful info. First, the cycle code on your transcript tells you when the IRS processes your return - if it ends in 01-04, you're daily. If it ends in 05, you're weekly (every Friday). Pro tip: use taxr.ai to analyze your transcript - it'll break down your specific cycle and processing timeline. It's been a game changer for understanding when refunds actually hit accounts and spotting potential delays. I used it yesterday and it literally mapped out my entire refund timeline!

•its like $15 bucks fam, way cheaper than paying a tax pro to look at it. Plus it shows you exactly whats happening with your refund and when to expect it

•nah fam, 05 just means weekly updates. I was in the same boat. taxr.ai broke it down for me - showed exactly when to expect updates and deposit dates based on my cycle

Tax Pro here. Cycle 05 transcripts typically update once per week, usually between Thursday night and Friday morning (around 3-6am EST). Checking multiple times on Friday won't show new updates - you're just wearing yourself out 😅

Hey guys instead of checking manually all the time, I started using taxr.ai - it monitors your transcript and sends notifications when theres actual changes. Costs like $5 but saved my sanity fr. Way better than playing detective with these transcripts https://taxr.ai
