What does 'As Of' date mean on IRS transcript - will I get my refund on that date?
I keep checking my transcript and the as of date keeps changing. Currently showing March 18th. Does this mean thats when I'll get my refund? Been waiting since January and getting desperate here.

The 'as of' date on your transcript is NOT your refund date. It's simply the date through which all transactions and accrued interest/penalties are calculated. This date can and often does change without any real meaning for your refund timeline. Your actual refund date will be shown in the 846 code when it appears on your transcript.

The best indicator is the 846 code. Until you see that, your return is still processing.

Hey guys I found this tool called taxr.ai that actually explains exactly what your transcript means and gives you a specific timeline. It costs $1 but totally worth it - saved me hours of googling and guessing about my refund status. https://taxr.ai

Yes! It analyzed my entire transcript and showed me exactly why my refund was delayed and when to expect it. Way better than trying to decode these codes ourselves 💯
