Where’s My Refund?
When does IRS accept tax returns in 2020?
This is the date the IRS began accepting tax returns on January 27, 2020.
When Can You File Taxes in 2020?
Most tax preparers will allow you to enter and submit your tax return beginning the first week of January 2020. You don’t need to wait for the IRS to start accepting tax returns to start, but you must have the proper forms and paperwork. Some forms are not available until mid January and some even later. When you submit your return before the IRS begins processing, it will sit in a “queue” and be held until the date that the IRS will officially accept tax returns. If you e-file early and it sits in queue, your return may be sent to the IRS early in a test batch. This has resulted in early direct deposits in the past, but also major glitches because they are tests after all.
Where is the IRS Refund Cycle Chart?
2020 Refund Cycle Chart
The most recent tax refund cycle charts have already been published. The official IRS tax refund cycle chart has been eliminated and replaced with an IRS Information Guidelines for the Tax Preparation Community publication and the IRS says the best way to check the status of your refund is using the Where’s My Refund tool. However, various websites with refund calendars for the 2020 tax season (2019 tax year) have been updated with 2020 direct deposit and check mailing dates.
When to Expect My Refund?
IRS Refund Schedule Charts typically show that early filers whose returns are accepted before the end of January can anticipate a tax refund direct deposit as early as the first week of February. The day that IRS deposits refunds varies but we notice trends that help you determine the time and days WMR updates and when your tax return is processed. This is an explanation and FAQ about when the IRS updates WMR and Transcripts.
The refund calendar by the College Investor is a good reference which has been updated for 2020 here: When To Expect My Tax Refund.

Morning someone please help. I have a cycle code of 20200705 with 150 $0.00 806, 766, 768 and then there’s 570 additional account action pending 0.00 with a date of Mar 2, 2020. What’s a 570 and will it delay my refund. I’ve never had this. The only difference this year is I didn’t took my 18 year old she filed her own taxes. Can some please help and thank you
@pastelito: That code is when you posted to the master file, yesterday. Seventh week, fifth day of the Irs tax year. That’s when you processed.
This my cycle code 20200605 when will I get my refund?
@pastelito: 1st week n march
@Sheila_33: yeah me too. Happy Valentine’s Day !
@Nita: 0605 is when you posted to the master file. That would have been Feb. 6th. Sixth week, fifth day of the Irs tax year.
20200705 for what ddd day? Any bets
@Nita: cool, thanks!!
@Denny: If you’re a weekly and a pather, probably not until next Friday.
@Sheila_33: I hope we do. I’ve never been accepted that early and learned it’s a “test batch”? Hope it comes soon. Thanks!
@pastelito: should b 1st Thursday n march i think. Last year i had 0605 and it was feb 27th
@Mbry0625: Not yet, but I checked early. I will check in a little while and see if it tries to push out.
@Sheila_33: yes will I see a refund code later today?
all transcripts are filled.
have a transcript code of 20200705
what date is that?
—————————————
I mean cycle code, not transcript code.
@Tosan: Not likely, but I would love to be wrong. I have the same transcript, same as of date and cycle date.
My transcripts update. Processing date is now 3/2..whatever that means. Cycle code 20200705. Everything looks to be done but no 846. So does that mean I’ll see 846 next Friday or could it still be updating??
@Sheila_33: did your as of date change
Guess I should’ve added I’m on Path and have had the message since early Feb.
ACTC & EIC
@Nick: Perfect. Do you have the path credits?
Was finally able to check my transcript.
Filed with HR block.
Accepted 15 January.
As of date 10 February 2020.
Cycle code 20200405.
No negative codes. Think I’ll update with an 846 tonight?
@Txtaxhater: That’s your refund code. Wmr should update tomorrow to a refund date of 2/20. Congrats!
@Txtaxhater: code 846 means ur done processing the date u got is ur ddd date
@Sheila_33: yes everything except 846 so far
@focused: If that date sticks, and you have all good codes, then the return is frozen until the freeze lifts because there is nothing for the computer to resolve. If your transcript hasn’t filled out and there’s no movement, then there is an issue the system can’t resolve and its going to have to be addressed manually, to get it back into processing.
all transcripts are filled.
have a transcript code of 20200705
what date is that?
@Nick: The as of date pushes out each week to make sure the return gets processes in time. That date will change again, when the refund code is applied. Is your account transcript filled out?
@Sheila_33: what does it mean when we have past our as of date like 2-17 and that as of date didin’t move?
@MichelleP$: Hard to say, 05’s can be daily or weekly. The only way, you’re going to know for sure is when you see a deposit date. If you’re in the first batch of dailies and get a refund date, you’re a daily. The next update for weeklies is Fridays for refund dates. Weeklies only see deposits on Wednesdays.
Hey y’all longtime lurker here
I just was able to see my transcript
Filed 1/30
Curious to what the 846 code means
States my refund issue date is 2/20
Is that the date I’ll get my refund or that’s when it will finish processing
@MichelleP$: I think they are working on it! Mine finally showed up today . I got accepted 1/30. My account transcript is still blank but record of account showed up today and my numbers are in there! I’m hoping rest will be filled in today and we update tomorrow morning on WMR! Wishful thinking 🤞
I’m having a hard time getting the transcript tax account section to load, after I login. It just says loading or will take forever. Anyone else??
@Sheila_33: thank you. My cycle code has ended in 05 the past 3 years. Since my transcript updated does that mean I am a daily or weekly?
My as of date changed to March 7 is everyone’s saying that too? And how’s that in correlation to ddd because last years says March 4 and I got mine feb 27
@Devinator: :)
@MichelleP$: Give it time, they update all morning and since you’re seeing your return, that means they’re working on them.
@Sheila_33: hahaha, you gals are wonderful , I stop by every year and freak out when will I get my dough. Thanks for all the help👍💲
Well I am finally able to view my return transcript but my account transcript is still blank with as of date of 2/17.
@Lisa in Texas: Yes, it may be a little later, but they normally update within a few hours. There are so many, may take a little longer than usual.
@Sheila_33: Thanks! Does the account trans usually update shortly after. I am hoping for a DDD for Saturday.
For all of those who filed around 1/30 and can not see transcript.. mine finally showed a refund transcript and record of account transcript for 2019. Account transcript is still blank. But the amounts are starting to fill in! Previous to today my transcripts were N/a and no returned filed! As of date 2/24. Seeing movement on transcript side of it!!!
I knew transcripts would not update today for weeklies, weeklies most likely will update next Saturday Feb 22nd with DDD for Wednesday Feb 26th. Daily people will start updating after the 15th for people with path credits. Next transcript update is Tuesday, daily peoples transcript will update on that day and will wake up to WMR refund approved on Wednesday… same pattern as last year!! it’s coming y’all , just not yet!!
@Lisa in Texas: That’s the date you posted to the Masterfile, yesterday. Give it some time, the account should fill out later.
@Sheila_33: 🤣same here but then at least we knew something and worried less
@Mico: They caught on to our trick, lol. Probably got tired of sending out so many transcripts, lol. I know one year, I could have wallpapered my office with as many as I ordered.
Hello, I am hoping someone can shed some light on my situation. I was accepted on 01/29 and lost my bars 3 days ago and I am not a path and I am a weekly. I was able to order my return trans. only and not my account trans. online. There was a code on my return trans. of 2020705. What does this mean…thanks!
I remember in the previous years you couldn’t even order your transcripts unless u were done processing they should’ve kept it that way
@Sheila_33: okay thank you
@Kikachu: Great news! Things are finally moving.
@Janel120: Just hang in there, they aren’t done yet. It will be update all morning, and its still early so plenty of time.
@StillWaitingVa: You’re welcome.
I’m getting very nervous I’m seeing people transcripts updating and mines is still n\a, but it had my new address on file so I’m very lost .
@Sheila_33: Okay, thanks. Yes, I do hair on the side along with my full time job. I was looking at it like, what in the world? Thanks for clearing that up for me.
@Karma: I got ya. This year has been busy for a bunch. No worries.
@Devinator: We look alike, it’s ok, lol. (Same little icon, get it, lol) On my first cup of coffee, still not quite there yet.
@StillWaitingVa: Yes, the 806 with holding 766,768 are your credits and the 332 is deducted from that total.
@StillWaitingVa: That’s is your tax. Are you self employed. My 150 reflects how much tax I’m paying, the other 2 amounts are added together and that amount is subtracted from the total and that’s my refund.
@Sheila_33: Okay…on the transcript, I have $332 along the line which has code 150. Than the lines that follow, which are 806, 766, 768 has negative amounts. The question is, is the $332 deducted from the total of lines 806, 766, 768?
@Sharon O: Do you still have n/a for 2019?
@Sheila_33: thank you , hun!!! I’ve been so busy lately and haven’t been able to follow or participate in Igmr as I’ve done in past years. Nor could I remember if it was there or no!!! Mahalo 💚
@Sheila_33: thanks Sheila I thought you were steph my bad.
