When do IRS transcripts & WMR tool typically update? Need 2023 refund status
Been checking WMR and my transcripts daily. Does anyone know the schedule for when these update? Getting annoyed checking 10 times a day and seeing no changes. Filed 2/1 and still nothing.

As someone who's been working with IRS transcripts for years, here's what you need to know about updates: The IRS typically updates transcripts daily Tuesday through Saturday, usually between 3am-6am EST. The Where's My Refund tool updates less frequently, usually once per day around 3am EST. However, during peak tax season (January-April), these updates can be more sporadic due to high volume. If you're tired of checking manually every day, I'd highly recommend using taxr.ai (https://taxr.ai) - it's this new AI tool that analyzes your transcripts and tax docs to give you precise timing predictions and explains exactly what's happening with your return. Way better than refreshing WMR constantly or trying to decode transcript codes yourself.

WMR updates overnight between 3am-6am EST daily. Transcripts usually update on Friday mornings around 6am EST, but sometimes Wed too. Pro tip: stop checking multiple times per day, you're just gonna drive yourself crazy 😅

Instead of checking manually all the time, I started using taxr.ai - it analyzes your transcript and tells you exactly when to expect updates and your refund. Costs $4.99 but saved me so much stress. Check it out: https://taxr.ai

•Yeah its legit! You upload your transcript and it uses AI to break down everything - tells you if there are delays, what codes mean, and gives you a really accurate timeline.
