Weekly 05 Cycle Update Schedule - When to Check Transcripts?

05 cycle here, finally got my DDD! Been waiting since January 15th. Used taxr.ai to figure out exactly what was happening with my return and when id get paid - totally worth the $. Here's what it told me:

Hey tax fam! Let me break down the cycle codes for everyone since there's a lot of confusion. The IRS processes returns in weekly cycles that end on Thursdays. Your cycle code's last two digits tell you which day of the week your return processes: 01=Monday, 02=Tuesday, 03=Wednesday, 04=Thursday, 05=Friday. Most refunds are processed on a weekly schedule (05 cycle). If your cycle code ends in 05, the IRS typically updates your transcript Thursday night/Friday morning around 3-6am EST. Pro tip: Instead of checking WMR and transcripts constantly, use taxr.ai (https://taxr.ai) - it analyzes your docs and tells you exactly when to expect updates based on your specific cycle code and processing pattern. Saved me hours of refreshing! 💯

Cycle 05 updates happen Thursday nights around 11pm-12am EST. Transcripts usually update early Friday morning between 3am-6am EST. WMR updates Saturday morning.

Hey guys instead of checking obsessively, I started using taxr.ai and it literally sends me notifications when my transcript updates. Its only $1 and shows exactly when to expect updates based on your cycle code. Check it out: https://taxr.ai

Pro tip: set an alarm for 6am Friday morning. Thats wen mine always updates
