      The difference is when your tax return is processed, and when updates are made and posted to your account.

      Daily Accounts:

      Some transactions post to the Master File on a daily basis as opposed to during the weekly cycle.

      If your cycle code ends with a 01, 02, 03, 04 your account follows Daily processing and usually posts updates on Wednesday Mornings.
      ⦁ Daily Account tax returns are processed Friday(01), Monday(02), Tuesday(03), Wednesday(04)
      ⦁ Major updates with direct deposit dates for Daily account usually take place on Wednesday mornings.
      ⦁ Accounts that follow Daily processing update on Where’s My Refund(WMR) on Wednesday early mornings with Friday Direct Deposit Dates.

      Some individual tax returns that require no additional actions to the taxpayers account process to the master file on a Daily basis, unless you would meet one of the disqualifiers below on your tax account that would make you become a weekly account.

      ITIN Accounts
      Foreign Address
      Campus Address
      Freeze Codes
      Identity Theft Indicators
      Prisoner File
      Related MFT 31 (Bankruptcy, Offer in Compromise, Restitution Related, Tax Court, Innocent Spouse, Exam agreed/ unagreed cases, Taxpayer Assistance Order, Installment Agreement, Currently Not Collectible)
      Criminal Investigation Activity
      Tax Module History (two years prior) with CI, Exam or Collection Activity
      Civil Penalty Account (MFT 55)

      Weekly Accounts:

      If your cycle code ends with 05 your account follows Weekly processing and usually posts updates on Satuday Mornings.
      ⦁ Weekly Account tax returns are processed only on Thursdays(05)
      ⦁ Major updates with direct deposit dates for Weekly account usually take place on Saturday mornings.
      ⦁ Accounts that follow Weekly processing update on Where’s My Refund(WMR) on Saturday early mornings with Wednesday Direct Deposit Dates.

      Individual tax returns that require additional actions to ensure the tax return is accurate before it can be processed must continue to be processed on a weekly basis to allow the IRS time to verify and correct the tax return before it posts to the Master File. The IRS included efforts in its software planning to identify specific tax return transactions and taxpayer accounts that require additional review prior to processing the tax return. The IRS has identified approximately 148 million taxpayer accounts that contained characteristics that would cause a tax return to be processed weekly (called disqualifiers).

      Entity: Entity disqualifiers relate to transactions or characteristics that are in the entity portion of a tax account. Examples include accounts marked as identity theft, accounts in bankruptcy litigation, and accounts with an IRS processing center zip code.
      Tax Module – Freeze: Tax Module Freeze disqualifiers relate to conditions present on the individual tax periods within a tax account. Examples include tax periods with a claim pending, with an offer-in-compromise, or marked uncollectible.
      Tax Module – Transactions: Tax Module Transaction disqualifiers relate to codes or transactions present on the individual tax periods within a tax account. Examples include tax periods with certain penalty transactions or underreported issues.
      Incoming Transactions: Incoming transaction disqualifiers relate to conditions posting to tax periods during the prior tax Filing Season. Examples include changes to the tax account or adjustments made to the tax return as a result of actions taken at the time the tax return is processed.

          So from what I posted below if your cycle code ends in 01, 02, 03, or 04 your transcripts should post Tuesday morning and WMR should provide updates Wednesday morning.

          If your cycle code ends in 05 you would get transcripts posted on Friday morning and WMR updates Saturday morning.

          Has anyone had transcripts post outside of Tuesday or Fridays?

          What about WMR updates…any updates outside of Wednesdays and Saturdays?

            I think someone else was posting WMR info daily vs weekly on other posts but I wanted to include what I found on that here as well:

            Tuesday Transcript Updates – Daily accounts are processed Friday, Monday, Tuesday or Wednesday. Tax returns that follow Daily processing will see transcripts update on Tuesdays mornings.
            Wednesday WMR Major Updates – Daily accounts are processed Friday, Monday, Tuesday or Wednesday. And they will have a Where’s my Refund? Update on Wednesday mornings.

            Friday Transcript Updates – Weekly accounts are processed only on Thursdays. Tax returns that follow Weekly processing will see transcripts update on Friday mornings.

            Saturday WMR Major Updates – Weekly accounts are processed only on Thursdays. And they will have a Where’s my Refund? Update on Saturday mornings.
