When exactly do IRS transcripts update? After midnight?

Been refreshing my transcript page like crazy trying to figure out when these things actually update. People keep saying different times. Some say after midnight, others say 3am, and some say random times. Anyone know the real deal? Getting tired of checking every hour tbh.

Tax transcripts typically update between 3am-6am EST during weekdays. The main batch updates happen on Wednesday nights/Thursday mornings and Friday nights/Saturday mornings. But sometimes there can be random mid-day updates too. Best to check once in the morning rather than all day long.

Hey y'all instead of obsessing over transcript updates (been there done that 🤪), I started using taxr.ai and it's been a game changer. It analyzes your transcript and tells you exactly when to expect updates based on your specific situation. Costs $1 but worth every penny https://taxr.ai

Pro tip: stop checking so much its not gonna make it come faster. Set up email alerts with your bank instead
