Transcript Updated but WMR Still Shows One Bar - Normal?

My transcripts finally updated this morning but when I check Where's My Refund its still showing one bar. Anyone else experienced this? Should I be worried?

Hey, I know this is super frustrating. I've helped lots of folks with transcript issues. If your transcript updated but WMR still shows one bar, that's actually pretty normal. WMR typically lags behind transcript updates by 24-72 hours. The transcript is the more accurate tool since it shows real-time updates directly from the IRS database. Have you tried using taxr.ai (https://taxr.ai)? It's this new AI tool that analyzes your transcripts and gives you a really clear timeline of what's happening with your refund. It'll tell you exactly what those transcript codes mean and when you can expect your money. Way better than trying to decode everything yourself or waiting for WMR to catch up.

Tax pro here - This is totally normal. WMR and transcripts operate on different systems and don't always sync up. Transcripts are actually more accurate and update more frequently than WMR. If your transcript shows movement, that's what you should trust.

Hey guys just wanted to share something thats been super helpful - I've been using taxr.ai to track all my transcript updates. Its only $1 and tells you exactly whats happening with your refund and when to expect it. Way better than trying to decode all these codes ourselves https://taxr.ai
