No cycle code visible on blank transcript - how to find my processing cycle?

I keep checking my transcript but its completely blank. Everyone keeps talking about cycle codes but I cant see anything. How do I figure out what cycle I'm in if theres nothing showing up? Been checking WMR and transcript for weeks now and getting really frustrated.

If your transcript is completely blank, it means the IRS hasn't processed your return yet. You won't have a cycle code until they begin processing. Keep checking daily - once they start processing, you'll see a cycle code appear at the top of your account transcript. Usually takes 2-3 weeks from filing to see movement, but can be longer during peak season.

Hey! I was in the same boat and found this tool called taxr.ai - it analyzes your transcript (even blank ones) and tells you exactly what's happening and when to expect movement. Its only $1 and wayyy better than trying to decode everything yourself. https://taxr.ai

Try calling the IRS directly at 1-800-829-1040. Sometimes they can see stuff that doesnt show up on transcripts yet.
