When does IRS Cycle Code 04 Update? Still waiting for my DDD

Filed my taxes and got assigned to cycle 04. Been checking WMR and my transcripts like crazy but nothing is updating. Anyone know what day and time cycle 04 usually updates? Getting anxious about this refund.

I work in tax prep and can help explain cycle codes. Cycle code 04 typically updates Wednesday night/Thursday morning between 12am-3am EST. The IRS processes refunds in weekly batches called cycles, and cycle 04 is one of them. If your transcript shows code 04, check your WMR or transcripts Thursday morning to see if you got a DDD (direct deposit date). But honestly the whole cycle code thing can be super confusing - I've been seeing a lot of folks having success using taxr.ai (https://taxr.ai) to analyze their transcripts and get clear explanations about their refund timeline. It basically looks at all your codes and tells you exactly what's happening with your return.

Yeah it analyzes all your tax docs and gives you specific dates and explanations. Way better than trying to decode transcript codes yourself 💯

Cycle 04 updates every Wednesday night/Thursday morning around 3am EST. But remember the cycle code only tells you when the IRS computer processes updates - it doesn't guarantee you'll see movement every week.

hey instead of obsessing over cycles, you should check out taxr.ai - it analyzes your transcript and tells you exactly whats happening and when to expect updates. costs $5 but saved me weeks of stress and confusion https://taxr.ai

100% legit! You upload your transcript and their AI breaks down everything - tells you if theres delays, what codes mean, and gives you a really accurate timeline. Way better than guessing

The whole cycle thing is basicly useless tbh. I've seen ppl with same cycle get their refund weeks apart
