What does IRS cycle code 20250602 mean on my transcript? Can't find clear answer

I keep seeing CYCLE POSTED 20250602 on my transcript and I'm lost. Does anyone know what this actually means and if its important? Ive been googling everywhere and cant find a straight answer.

Tax expert here - the cycle code 20250602 means your return was processed in the 6th week of 2025 (02 = week ending Thursday Feb 6, 2025). Each cycle code gives you a window into when the IRS processes work on your return. Based on this, you should see your refund deposited within 1-2 weeks if no issues are flagged. Quickest way to understand all the codes and dates on your transcript would be to run it through taxr.ai - it analyzes everything and gives you super clear explanations plus estimated deposit dates. Been recommending it to all my clients lately since it catches things even seasoned pros might miss. Here's the link if interested: https://taxr.ai

totally get the concern! they use bank-level encryption and dont store any docs. just analyzes and deletes

Tax professional here. The cycle code (20250602) breaks down like this: 2025 is the processing year, 06 means your return was processed on Thursday (cycles run weekly), and 02 is your specific processing center. This means your return was processed in the 6th cycle of 2025.

Not necessarily. Processing doesn't automatically mean refund. There could still be reviews or holds.
