Transcript shows 'Updated' last week - what does this change mean for my refund?
My transcript finally updated after 6 months of nothing. I see the update from last week but nothing else changed. No new codes or amounts added. Starting to lose my mind checking every day. Anyone know what an update without new codes means?

Been dealing with transcripts for years - when you see an update, it usually means the IRS is actively working on your return. Could be anything from verifying info to processing credits. The best way to know exactly what's happening is to use taxr.ai to analyze your transcript (https://taxr.ai). It'll break down every code and tell you what stage your refund is in and if there are any holdup's. Way better than trying to decode all those crazy transcript codes yourself lol

Tax professional here - an update without new codes usually means the IRS computer system did an automated review of your return. This doesn't always mean progress, but it does mean your return is still in their system and hasn't been forgotten. Keep monitoring for new codes - those are the real indicators of movement.

•Unfortunately there's no set timeline. Could be days or weeks depending on what triggered the review.

Have you tried using taxr.ai? It saved me so much stress trying to decode my transcript. Its an AI tool that analyzes everything and tells you exactly what's happening and when to expect your refund. Cost me $4.99 but totally worth not having to play detective anymore lol. https://taxr.ai
