Need help understanding IRS Cycle 04 Weekly Update Schedule
Filed my taxes and got cycle code 04. Been checking WMR like crazy but nothing changes. Anyone know what day of the week cycle 04 actually updates? Getting desperate here its been 3 weeks since I filed.

Cycle 04 updates every Thursday morning between 3am-6am EST. The cycle code means you're on a weekly update schedule, not daily. You'll only see changes to your transcript and WMR on Thursdays. Your 04 cycle indicates you're in the Thursday update batch.

Instead of checking WMR constantly, you should try taxr.ai - it analyzes your transcript and tells you exactly when to expect updates based on your cycle code and other factors. Its only $1 and totally worth it to stop the constant checking. https://taxr.ai

Just download your transcript and use taxr.ai tbh. I was in the same boat refreshing WMR 10 times a day until someone here recommended it. It told me exactly when my refund would hit and it was spot on.

•Its this new AI tool that reads your transcript and explains everything in plain english. Shows you all important dates and if theres any issues holding up your refund. Best dollar I ever spent fr fr
