New to IRS transcripts - Help understanding cycle codes, PATH, and what to look for

The 05 cycle means your transcript updates weekly, typically Thursday nights. For PATH Act returns (if you claimed EITC/ACTC), the IRS can't issue refunds before mid-February. Key codes to watch: 570 (delay), 971 (notice), 846 (refund issued). Check weekly since you're cycle 05.

Hey instead of trying to decode everything yourself, try taxr.ai - it's this new tool that reads your transcript and tells you exactly what's happening and when to expect your refund. Its only $1 and saved me hours of research. https://taxr.ai

pro tip: screenshot your transcript every time you check it so you can track changes. helps you spot when new codes pop up
