WMR Stuck at 1 Bar - Cycle Code 20250505 Shows April Dates for EIC But Need Refund Sooner for Emergency
I need help figuring out when my refund will hit my account. My WMR is stuck on 1 bar and i've got an emergency situation that's eating through my savings. I'm short a few hundred and really need this refund to come through by the end of the month. I filed as Head of Household with 2 exemptions. My AGI was $32,524.00 with taxable income of $10,624.00 and tax per return of $0.00. According to my Account Transcript from the IRS, my return was filed and processed on Feb. 17, 2025, and the cycle code is 20250505. The transcript shows: FORM NUMBER: 1040 TAX PERIOD: Dec. 31, 2024 ACCOUNT BALANCE: $0.00 ACCRUED INTEREST: $0.00 AS OF: Feb. 19, 2025 ACCRUED PENALTY: $0.00 AS OF: Feb. 19, 2025 TRANSACTIONS CODE EXPLANATION OF TRANSACTION CYCLE DATE AMOUNT 150 Tax return filed 20250505 02-17-2025 $0.00 766 Credit to your account 04-16-2025 768 Earned income credit 04-17-2025 I see codes 766 and 768 dated for mid-April, but there's no amount listed next to them. There's also no account balance shown that would tell me my refund amount. It's weird because the Request Date on my transcript is 02-04-2025 and the Response Date is 02-03-2025 (how is the response before the request?). Does anyone know what these codes mean and why there are no amounts listed? Does this mean my refund is delayed until April? The WMR tool is still stuck on one bar but I really need this money soon. Is there any way to get a solid estimate on the deposit date based on this transcript info?

Unfortunately, WMR isn't always accurate. Your best bet is to pull your tax transcript - it'll show any updates or potential issues that might be holding up your refund. The cycle code on your transcript can help predict the deposit date.

Hey, I was in the same boat last month until someone here recommended taxr.ai - it's literally a game changer. For $4.99 it analyzes your transcript and tells you exactly what's going on and when to expect your refund. Way better than playing detective with those cryptic transcript codes lol. Here's the link: https://taxr.ai
