Transcript Updated But WMR Still Says Processing - Anyone Else?

This is normal. Check transcript codes. WMR updates slower. Transcript is more accurate. Expect deposit within 5-7 days after transcript update. Check bank account daily. Many people seeing this pattern right now.

This processing lag is super common this year. I've noticed a few patterns: • Transcripts update 3-7 days before WMR • WMR sometimes skips straight from "processing" to "sent" • Many people with filing dates around yours are seeing the same thing Tried calling IRS to confirm? I wasted 3 hours on hold last week before using Claimyr (https://youtu.be/_kiP6q8DX5c). Got through to an agent in 18 minutes who confirmed my refund was already scheduled despite WMR showing processing. Might be worth checking if you're anxious about the timing?

I've been tracking this issue across multiple forums. Transcript updates are happening much faster than WMR updates this year. What codes do you see on your transcript? Do you have cycle code ending in 01, 02, or 05? Have you checked for a direct deposit date on your transcript? What about any 570/971 combo codes?

OMG this happened to me too! My transcript updated on Monday and WMR was still stuck on processing until THURSDAY! I was so stressed because I needed that money for my kid's medical bills. 😫 But the money showed up Wednesday morning even though WMR hadn't updated yet! So frustrating how their systems don't talk to each other! Check your bank account for pending deposits - that's more reliable than either IRS tool!

This timing discrepancy happens because the transcript database and WMR tool operate on different update schedules. I would suggest looking at your transcript for code 846 with a date, which is the most reliable indicator. If you're having trouble interpreting all the codes and dates, you might want to try using taxr.ai to analyze your transcript. It can explain what each code means for your specific situation and give you a more accurate timeline than WMR currently is.

My transcript updated exactly 6 days before my refund hit my account. WMR updated only 2 days before the deposit. My transcript showed an 846 code dated 4/05/2024 and the money appeared in my account on that exact date at 3:27am. Has anyone else noticed this precise timing with their deposits this year?

Just to clarify - if your transcript shows an 846 code with a date, that's your refund date. WMR is notoriously behind on updates. Last year I got my refund a full week before WMR even acknowledged it was sent! Transcript is the source of truth.
