Transcripts questions…

[Jared]

1. How do you get them?
2. Can they tell you something WMR wont?

@Christen thank you for taking the time to answer all these questions you have been a major help for all I am sure.

@Everyone Sorry for all my typos :/

@lp7 I looked up the codes and from what I can see it looks like they made changes to your account because you over paid but I am not positive. Also if you do not see the 846 code on your transcript they have not issued your refund yet. Here is a link for you and anyone else with code questions…. IRS code handbook http://www.irs.gov/pub/irs-utl/transaction_codes_pocket_guide.pdf Also the 2/23/2015 I am pretty sure this marks your 21 days that the IRS strives for as far as having everything complete, but if there are issues I’m sure this won’t apply.

@513lette I don’t know about all the zeros but maybe that means that they have started your return and are processing or maybe it is a glitch (there have been many of those this year…or every year for that matter). I know that just three 000 means they have started an account or plan so hopefully they’re working on it.

@K.Fedlt Thanks! I have been in limbo with everyone else and I know it’s frustrating. It’s nice to get as much info as you can so you can kind of know what is going on.

@Jared Yeah that 570 code looks like it could be trouble but hopefully not.

@Jenn The main transcript your looking for is you Account transcript. What happened with me was my Return Transcript showed first and then my Account and Record of Account (which is a combination of the former and the latter) showed up over night. The account transcript will show you the codes, and the Record of account will show you codes AND give you a breakdown of all your income and credits etc. The Wages and Income is not and important and is usually not updated until the end of April and later so don’t pay attention to the “no return filed” on that one. I hope this helps.

I hope this helps.

Good luck everyone!

Filed 2/1 and accepted immediately. As of this morning my WMR bar has not moved passed processing. 2 out of 4 Transcripts are showing N/A, the other 2 showing 0, or “return not filed”.
What does this all mean???

[Jared]

@Christen – yes thank you. i was able to get 3 of 4 of the transcripts (not the records one i believe). I have the same cycle as you, but I also have a 570 code which apparently is a issue. I googled it, but it could be tons of reasons apparently.

Christen, That was the best explanation of transcripts I have seen, thank you for taking the time to explain.

I’ve been able to pull my account transcript for over a week now and I have no updates. All 0’s on transcript and no codes nothing on WMR either.

[lp7]

I have a cycle code of 20150505 my transcript codes are 150 806 826 and 971. I do know I have a federal tax offset. But I don’t know what the codes mean and when I will receive the balance of my refund. There is also a date on the transcript 02/23/2015

@Jared if you haven’t gotten any answers anywhere else… go to irs.gov and you will see a transcripts link in the middle-right side of the main page. Go there and then click order them online, you’ll have to verify your identity and jump through their hoops but yes they can show you info that WMR won’t. Most people are able to pull their transcripts a day before WMR updates, but WMR has been having issues anyway and is not always updating properly or bars are disappearing. If you can pull your 2014 account transcripts you will see some codes. 846 (refund issued) is the one you want to see but there may be more depending on your situation. A quick google search can answer any of your code questions.
You will also be able to see a cycle code that should indicate your ddd. Mine is 20150505 which translates to week 5 in the irs cycle and the fifth day in my cycle week which is Wednesday (they start on Thurs and only count business days for the cycle week) This gives me a ddd of Feb 11th. If you were to get 20150602 your ddd would be Feb 13th since cycle 6 would start on the Thursday after cycle week 05.
Hope this helps.
Good luck!
