When does IRS Cycle Code 03 update? Need timeline for refund
Filed my taxes early this year and my transcript shows cycle code 03. Anyone know when this updates and what time the WMR tool refreshs? Really need this refund asap.

Cycle code 03 typically updates every Wednesday night/Thursday morning. The WMR tool updates around 3-6am EST daily, but the big updates happen overnight Wednesday into Thursday for 03 cycle filers. Keep in mind that seeing an update doesn't guarantee a deposit date - it just means your return was processed in that batch.

Hey everyone! Instead of checking WMR obsessively (like I used to lol), I started using taxr.ai. It costs $1 but it actually tells you exactly when your specific refund will hit based on your transcript codes. Way better than guessing or asking reddit tbh. https://taxr.ai

•100% works! It analyzed my transcript and predicted my DDD down to the exact day. It even caught a delay I would've missed

Check your account transcript not just WMR. Sometimes transcript updates b4 WMR does

Same here with cycle 03! From what I've experienced, the transcript usually updates first (around midnight-3am EST on Thursdays) then WMR catches up later in the morning. I'd recommend setting up IRS account access if you haven't already - way more reliable than constantly refreshing WMR. The waiting game is brutal but hang in there!
