WHAT YOUR CYCLE DATE MEANS & WHEN YOU WILL GET YOUR $!!

[MCRT88]

I have seen numerous people asking what their cycle date means, how to decipher it, and when they are getting their money. Instead of answering every single person that asks on every single thread, I decided to just create one..

So, If you can view your transcripts, it will give you a cycle date which will tell you when your DDD is. I was able to review my transcripts this morning and have a cycle date of 20150402. Which I am assuming is the same for most people that can now view theirs. So, the cycle dates go as followed, 2015 is the year, obviously, 04 stands for the week of the year, meaning it doesn’t restart at the beginning of every month, so February 2-8 would be 05 then 06 and so on, even on the IRS calendar THIS week the 26th-30th is 04 (So we know it will be deposited this week) and the 02 is the day in the week it will be deposited, in this case Friday. SO we should have our money sent to SBBT or financial institution on Thursday Night/Friday Morning, then give or take a couple days for bank processing if you have fees, depending on your bank policy for deposits, etc. BUT THIS IS GOOD NEWS!! The cycle “Code” goes as follows (YEAR)(WEEK OF YEAR)(DAY OF WEEK) BUT where people get confused is the day of week. This is because it is based on the IRS CYCLE. So we know its being deposited the 4th week of 2015, the IRS CYCLE WEEK begins on THURSDAY (not Monday), you can look this up on-line, and ends on WEDNESDAY! So THURSDAY is 01, the cycle date WE HAVE is 02 which if Thursday is 01, then Friday is 02. This is how I know that our money will be transmitted on FRIDAY. I am 99% positive. WMR may or may not even update before then, however, I expect an update tonight for people who can view their transcripts. This is also in line with previous years. Last year many people got their DDD and the money was set to be deposited 2-3 days after they received their DDD. Also, for previous returns, look at your Cycle number and the day your money was sent and they will match up as well.

HOPE THIS HELPS EVERYBODY WONDERING AND CONGRATS!!

Thank you, your info has proven accurate for me :)

[Hector]

I’m in Sandy’s exact situation with cycle code and date, but after decoding cycle date, they do not match. Cycle date is 4/30/15, but transaction date on transcript is 5/11/15. So when will my money be available to me?

[sandy]

Please help me confirm my estimate of Direct Depost if
my transcript shows Cycle 20151605 (next to that ) DATE 05-11-2015

Many thanks and greatly appreciate your help in advance.

H &R Block filed my federal return on feb 16th and it was accepted on the same day.  The bar is still showing processing.  My 2014 account transcript is blank with the exception of a march 9th date.  Any suggestions?

[conner]

My transaction codes are as follows cycle #20150505
150 2-23-2015

My dad filed the same day I did and already recieved his money, my Bars dissappeared on the WMR site. and only states its being processed. I called the IRS and the lady states that everything looks fine that its just being processed. My taxes have never taken this long to get back.

@MCRT88 – PLEASE STOP PROVIDING FALSE INFORMATION. THE 02 IS THE MONDAY THIS YEAR. I TOOK THIS DIRECTLY FROM THE IRS MANUAL
02 IS MONDAY THIS YEAR
Code 846 is refund and 2015 is year, 04 is the week of the year, and 02 the day.
3.30.123.4.9 (01-01-2015)
IMF Daily Processing

IMF processing will be daily except on weekends. Some transactions post to IMF on a daily basis as opposed to during the weekly cycle.

3.30.123.4 (01-01-2014)
Cycle Definitions

———————————————————————————————————————————————————————————–

1.The word “Cycle” is used two different ways within Submission Processing.

A.Cycle can be used as a “daily counter” , usually of non-holiday Monday through Friday days, from a start date through a stop date.

B.Cycle can also be used to refer to a week, which is usually designated by a cycle number.

Note:

Effective January 2012, the Campus Production Cycles changed to begin on a Thursday and end on a Wednesday.

See last sentence….using your own provided google search, its plain as day….STARTING IN JAN 2012, CYCLE NEGINS ON THURSDAY, ENDS ON WEDNESDAY….THURSDAY IS 01- FRIDAY IS 02…..SO, EVERYONE NEEDS TO USE THIS AS TRANSLATION OF THEIR CYCLE CODES

[John]

@MCRT88 – PLEASE STOP PROVIDING FALSE INFORMATION. THE 02 IS THE MONDAY THIS YEAR. I TOOK THIS DIRECTLY FROM THE IRS MANUAL
02 IS MONDAY THIS YEAR
Code 846 is refund and 2015 is year, 04 is the week of the year, and 02 the day.
3.30.123.4.9 (01-01-2015)
IMF Daily Processing

IMF processing will be daily except on weekends. Some transactions post to IMF on a daily basis as opposed to during the weekly cycle.

IMF Cycle Date is a daily cycle designated by an eight digit number indicating the year, the two digit cycle number and the two digit number indicating the day of the week (YYYYWWDD). The following values for DD are defined:

01 = Friday

02 = Monday

03 = Tuesday

04 = Wednesday

05 = Thursday

GOOGLE “3.30.123.4.9 (01-01-2015)” AND READ FOR YOURSELF. 02 IS MONDAY IN 2015!!!

MCRT88 is the correct one here people….THURSDAY is the 1st day of the cycle week…Its been so with every return Ive seen thus far….whether it was like this last year. IDK, all we care about is this year….If you were right then my DDD along with code is wrong and the 25 others are wrong too…And since these people already got their refund, I go with Thursday as 1st day….mine is 20150505 and my DDD is 2/11/15….on youre cycle code, my DDD would be Thursday….obv don’t count weekend days when computing

[John]

and the date wth code 846 always is a few weeks later than the actual date….my transcript said 2/23/15, nut my DDD is 2/11/15….They have been sending the money 1-2 days bf this DDD date, then the bank posts on the DDD date. usually overnight bf…so my DDD is 2/11/15, they should send 2/9/15 or 2/10/15, posting after midnight on 2/11/15, so when I wake up Wednesday itll be there…I hope sooner but doubtful

[John]

“I know this is not the right thread for my question if someone knows a better thread where I can post this question please let me know : I did my taxes via Turbo Tax I have a DDD of 01/30/2015 and I was under the impression that because I picked the free version (I did not have the option to have fees taken out of the return because hence free there were no fees) that my taxes would go right from the IRS to my bank account now I am being told that that is incorrect no matter what your money goes to the bank of Santa Barbara first because even though the product is free it was 29.99 previous to this tax season so they have to deduct the 00.00 from someplace (this makes no sense) this is what turbo tax themselves (via online chat) told me last night. I was just curious have no worries the money is coming but using a new personal bank this year and every bank is different so it would be nice to know what is going on because if there is a 24-hour hold like last year between Santa Barbara and my bank I do not know if I would get the deposit Saturday or Monday”

naybe only bc its turbo tax but they have to allow you the option and you agree, they cant say its free then just add a charge….its deceptive….I did mine thru taxact , free, mine goes rt to my bank

[John]

Thursday is the 1st day of the IRS week….The IRS year for refunds started Jan 8…….so a 20150505 mean Wednesday Feb 11, 2015 The cycle code is in this order:

Year= 1st two #s
Week= 2nd two #s
Day= 3rd two #s

Remember start counting weeks starting at Thursday Jan 8, 2015……

[monica]

my # is 20150505 ?? when should i be getting a refund

[Jade]

From what I understood 2015 is the year 05 is the week of the year and 05 is the 5th processing day. For the IRS processing days are as follows. Friday 01, Monday 02, Tuesday 03, Wednesday 04 and Thursday is 05

[Heather]

Hi I just got my cycle date from my transcript. Can anyone help with this? 20150505 refund date2/23/15 it has the 846 code refund issued, but the wmr is still at one bar?

[Joy sharp]

I have two people who filed and were accepted 1/26 and 1/28 the one on 1/28 site does not show filing on the transcript link and the both have one bar! Another one accepted on 1/31 and DDD of 2/9/15. Please help with this

[Joanna]

Ok so what does it mean if I can see my return transcript but not my account transcript?

[Anonymous]

Ok so apparently the 570 code with the 896 code is in reference to the health care penalty. the 570 means the refund is on hold but not really…??? I work with a guy that got the penalty but has already received his refund. Has anyone else gotten these codes and gotten their refund or a dd yet? Every one says the irs is telling them different things

[HollyB]

Jukes a 570 code is a freeze for further review. Google tax topic 570. Sorry!

[Anonymous]

@jukes

I have the same codes and from what I’ve been able to find out so far it looks like we will either be processed or get our refunds on 2-16-2015

[Anonymous]

Can someone please, please, please help me. Filed on 1/17 through jh. accepted 1/20 on wmr. no movement since then. just learned about the transcripts so I looked mine up. It was available. The cycle date is 20150402 which according to this site means ddd of 1/30. but I have nothing. no movement on wmr other codes are 150. 806, 766, 768, 896, and 570. I know some of these are ins fine, eic etc but when can I expect my refund. I am desperate

[notthrilled]

I have cycle code 20150402. WMR has no bars and only displays “your return is still being processed”. Filed 1-08 and accepted 1-12. I had to pay the healthcare penalty but no other issues on the transcripts. So, I’m guessing they don’t know where to send the offset and they are holding everything else. Ugh. Anybody have any other information?

[Jesse]

Filed 1/20/2015. Return was accepted 1/21/2015. Finally have my transcript available this morning 02/03/2015. Cycle =20150502. WMR not updated as of 7:00am on 02/03/2015, still at first level.

[shawna]

I filed on 1/27/2015 i have one bar on WMR I have checked for my transcripts and am only allowed to see the bottom 2 for 2015. The transcripts say 0.00 and no dates or refund amount. When does the transcript site update as well as the WMR site. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks in advance!

[Amanda]

I just went to pull up my transcript and it says “No Return Filed” …I filed on the 19th, received notification that it was accepted on the 20th. I’m getting a bit concerned now. I used the same software for my mother in laws return a couple days after mine and she has already gotten her refund. Should I be worried that it isn’t acknowledging my return in the transcript? It shows it as accepted on WMR.

[Samantha]

I have a code 150 and a few others like eic code I have a cycle number of 20150405 and it says 2-16-2015 but I don’t have a 846 code….. Does this mean I’ll be waiting a while?

[Mya]

Cycle dates! For those with the cycle dates below. These are supposedly the dates they will be deposited.
20150402 – Jan 30th 2015
20150403 – Feb 2nd 2015

[impatientlywaiting]

Yeah, don’t pay attention to the 2/16. It’s virtually useless and is NOT when you’ll receive your deposit. If you have an -0405 cycle days, you’ll receive your refund between now and Wednesday.

[Anonymous]

So 20150405 means what? Transcript says refund issued 2-16-2015 but that is different from the code? Sorry. Am confused.

[Teresa]

I just pulled my transcript. the first like is 150 cycle code 20150405 amount 0.00 but the last line says 846 Refund Issued 02-16-15 then it shows the amount that we are suppse to get. do i pay any attention to that first line that says 0.00 because after that it has 3 other lines with codes then the date of 04-15-2015 with amounts used on our taxes. But that last line says 846 Refund Issued and the 02-16-15 with the amount we were told we were getting. I worry because i have student loans but they are in deferment right now until 10-15-15 . so someone said as long as they are in deferment i should be ok. anyone know?

[Sherry]

Filed with H&R Block accepted 1/21 approved 1/30l cycle code 20150404 ddd 2/03. Somebody’s working at the IRS!

[James]

to understand your codes go here!!! https://www.auditdetective.com/Transaction_Code_Definitions.html#codeDef846

[addy]

Got my approval moved up on wmr today, and ddd of February 3rd!!! Thank you everyone!!

[Cafeazucartx]

I wonder how many of us are going to have to wait the full 21 days… Because worst case … Is they’d have to be done and have it posted by the 11th…….. Omg I’m going crazy waiting could only order my account transcript return transcript up yet. Going crazy over here….

Fugetha-bout-it already over here -__-

[JustWantMyMoney]

I am in cycle 05 and woke up this morning to my account transcript. I have code 846 and it has a date of February 16th. I am happy to see some type of movement, especially since I was accepted on January 16th. I guess the 05 theory really works.

[dude]

I have a cycle code of 201500402 with codes 570 and 896, when will I get my refund?

[Tarah]

I was finally able to view my transcripts today and my cycle code is 20150405, what does that mean? Does it mean I won’t get my DD until next week on Thursday? :(

[Vicki]

Filed on 1/19, accepted 1/20..no change. no transcript still. says Feb 16, 2015 with no return filed…what does 1/16/15 mean?

[Rodney]

How do u find transcript

[MoeMoney]

@s traak: same here. Funds going to SBBT first to have TT fees deducted. I am Expecting them to get it 2/3 and my bank 2/4.

[Abingham]

The only one for 2014 that I have is wages and it says no records found. Is that bad?

All others say n/a so I guess im SOL :/

[MoeMoney]

@Question: IRS.gov request a copy of your transcript. On the ‘account transcript-2014’ look below ‘transactions’ for the cycle # I.e. 20150404, etc.

[Question]

I may seem stupid for this. But where can I see my transcripts and where on them can the code be found ?

[Anonymous]

When do transcripts get updated???

[s traak]

I just got to view my transcripts! As of lunch time they weren’t even available. File date 1/26 Accepted 1/26. No movement on WMR but cycle date on transcript says 20150404. What does that mean? Does that mean on Monday??

[Melissa]

Cycle dates from previous years can only lend some insight, but not much. Cycle codes without an 846 code don’t mean much as far as deposit dates either.

I hate to burst bubbles, or rain on parades, but without that 846 code, an approval to release funds….

[Anonymous]

Filed: Sunday 1/25/2015 with Turbo Tax | Accepted 1/25/2015 |48 hours later go to WMR, one bar, 21 days for return, code 152 | N/A on transcripts | 3:45 am 1/29/2015 WMR Updated to two bars(Approved) with DDD 2/2/2015, which is Monday. I used my Netspend Card for deposit and have been told they deposit early. If my date is Monday does that mean they will deposit on this Friday 1/30/2015? There is nothing showing at SBBT and I have fees to be taken out. (Could they update overnight making this all be true?) or am I just blindly hoping it could happen?

[Anonymous]

I am confused. I have a cycle of 20150402 with one bar and no DDD. Transcripts are good obviously but no code. What should I make of this?

[Sasha.g88]

Im sorry but im not really understanding everything about transcripts and cycle dates but mine is 20150404 can some help me and i had direct deposit as well, thanks in advance

[Melissa L]

@Roger Thanks for the quick response last year I didn’t get my deposit until April was stuck in the system somewhere I was afraid the same would happen this year guess I have to play the waiting game again.

[straysoul]

So if below is true then 2015 equals 04 equals the week of 1/23-1/29 and 04 equals Wednesday the 28th is your posted date add 4 business days meaning Mon thru Friday would give you a direct deposit date of 2/2 or 2/3

[Roger]

@Melissa L: Without a 2015 cycle date, we can’t figure anything out. All we can say here is that your return hasn’t been processed yet.

[Melissa L]

I have been trying to see if anyone has any similar dates like mine but haven’t came across any. Can someone help me I have been sitting at my computer for hours trying to figure this out. Filed 1-14-2015 accepted 1-16-15 one bar no 2015 transcript available past dates are 20140601 20131005 20120405 thank you in advance.

[CARTH]

I don’t see a Refund Code… where should I be looking? Thank You!

[Anonymous]

@cpracing2008 thanks!

[cpracing2008]

@ ann I was accepted on the 22nd and i dont have a viewable transcript yet either. from what i’ve gathered we still have nothing to worry bout as of yet.

[Anonymous]

Anyone accepted on the 23rd??? How often to they update transcripts??

[Solomon Grundy]

So……..

20150404 means?

[straysoul]

The components of CADE 2, Transition State 1, was deployed in January, 2012. Changes included daily processing for certain individual taxpayers, Center production cycle, posting cycles, accelerated refunds and notices, and accelerated IDRS posting. Daily Processing, IMF (Individual Master File) processing with the cycle definition outlined below, but processing daily (daily transactions to daily accounts) with weekly processing occurring on Thursday.

Center Cycle Wednesday

Master File Processing- Thursday

Notice Review – Saturday -Monday (8+ days)

Unpostables – Available Tuesday; Closing Tuesday

Direct deposit refunds are issued in 4 business days from posting

Paper check refunds are issued in 6 business days from posting

[straysoul]

@JmeP you are right
IMF cycle posting dates will reflect a format of YYYYCCDD. YYYY will indicate the year. CC will indicate the posting cycle. For IMF transactions, the following values for DD are defined:

01 = Friday

02 = Monday

03 = Tuesday

04 = Wednesday

05 = Thursday

Note:

BMF cycle posting dates on BMFOL will continue to reflect YYYYCC. YYYY will indicate the year. CC will indicate the posting cycle. BMF cycle posting dates in TXMOD will reflect a format of YYYYCCDD. The DD value will be 08.
http://www.irs.gov/irm/part3/irm_03-017-079r.html

[Roger]

@kells: Most likely your DDD will be Tuesday (2/3). I have a strong feeling your WMR will update tomorrow with the 2/3 date.

[JmeP]

OK. .. you get the same result, using your methods but is slightly flawed. .. as in the cycle week starts on Friday

01 Friday
02 Monday
03 Tuesday
04 Wednesday
05 Thursday

Thursday being the end of the cycle week when all weekly cycles are processed.

The cycle code date is the date you were processed. It take up to 4 business days for banks to receive the funds, hence the direct deposit date of Friday, the 30th. This is straight out of the manual. Your cycle date is the date they PROCESSED your return and if approved will be in your account within 4 business days. That’s how net spenders get funds a few days early because they don’t need 4 days to post! Hope this clarifys things to a more accurate definition.

GOOD LUCK EVERYONE!

[kells]

thanks @rtbartonie I was getting worried lol

[Cafeazucartx]

@kells last year my DDD said 846 issued on 3/15/2014 but actually got it 2/28/14 so you’ll have it next week.

[Cafeazucartx]

@kells code 846 is refund issued so it’s a good sign you should get it way before then!!!

[Kells]

my cycle date on return transcript is 20150404 but on my account transcript it says 846 refund issued 02-16-2015 what does this mean? please help

[melissa]

@ Addy, no Tuesday of next week.

I am 20150402. My ddd is tomorrow.

You’re two days past mine, and if we were to skip deposits on weekends (dunno if we should, but let’s err on the safe side), you’re ddd should be 02/03 at the latest.

[Cafeazucartx]

@Roger thanks so much for a quick response.

[Cafeazucartx]

@Roger no I was reading other threads thinking that there was some sort of correlation as pertaining to this years tax return but I guess I’ll just have to wait till I get mine in the mail to see. My return transcript isn’t ready for view however my account transcript was so not sure if that was a good sign or not.

[Roger]

@rtbartonie: I’m not sure you can use a prior year’s cycle date to ascertain anything about the current year. I know people have suggested as such, but there’s not enough data to draw an useful conclusion just yet. And there may not be any correlation at all.

I believe that is what you are asking, though I may be misunderstanding your question…?

[Cafeazucartx]

Ok so if my cycle dates are 901 702 601 for past returns… Which day do they have to submit those by? Will we be in next weeks friday DD? Everyone else is an 04 or 05 but then again I had to have my transcripts mailed so I can’t see my cycle date for this year.

[Cafeazucartx]

@addy usually the DDD will actually be sooner than you actual deposit date. Last year mine said DDD of 3/15/2014?but I actually got my DD on 2/28

[Roger]

@addy: No, your DDD will most likely appear on WMR tomorrow morning and your DDD will almost undoubtedly be Tuesday, 2/3.

Cycle date 20150404 refers to the approval date of Wednesday, 1/28. Your DDD is generally cycle date + 4 business days.

I’m not sure what 2/16 is meant to signify. Mine also says 2/16 but my DDD is 1/30 (tomorrow).

[addy]

OK, filed 1/26 accepted 1/26. Checked transcript this am, it shows 20150404; code 846 and amount due, than a refund date of 2/16….. is this date accurate??

[cpracing2008]

hey i filed on the 22nd and the only transcript i can see is my wage and earning transcript which shows nothining when click on it. it says n/a for my return transcript and account transcript. i was accepte on the 22nd as well do i have anything to worry about kinda nervous with ppl after me having their transcripts or maybe im looking up wrong thing plz help thank you

[Monebyrd]

@MCRT88 – thank you soo much for your insight. Filed 1/25 accepted 1/25 ;1/27 tax transcript seen with code 20150403 1/28 no movement on the wmr. Today refund accepted 1/29 with Ddd 2/2/2015. No 846 code though.

[tonya]

ok for the last 2 years my cycle codes have been 20150703…. I filed and was accepted on 01/25. I have one bar on the WMR. My acct transcript as of right now says 0.00 can you please give me any insight as to when I should start looking for a date??

[Charise]

The only codes I have is codes 150 806 766 768 but i have 20150402 and no bars

[Kristy]

I have 20150402 BUT no 846 code.. On WMR there are no bars and just says processing and check here or the app for free ect.. What does that mean?

[daniel]

Something else I dont get ? How is it that the Cycle data can be the same year after year ? What if you file your taxes at different times yearly ? EX. How could my cycle of 20130604 be the same this year if I dont file my taxes till the 7th or 8th week ? How can we assume that this cycle info is the same every year ?

[daniel]

Previous transcripts have cycle data of 20130604, 20120604…etc… I cant access transcripts for 2014 yet. Filed and accepted on 20th.. With this info what is your DDD prediction ?

[Jane]

I know this is not the right thread for my question if someone knows a better thread where I can post this question please let me know : I did my taxes via Turbo Tax I have a DDD of 01/30/2015 and I was under the impression that because I picked the free version (I did not have the option to have fees taken out of the return because hence free there were no fees) that my taxes would go right from the IRS to my bank account now I am being told that that is incorrect no matter what your money goes to the bank of Santa Barbara first because even though the product is free it was 29.99 previous to this tax season so they have to deduct the 00.00 from someplace (this makes no sense) this is what turbo tax themselves (via online chat) told me last night. I was just curious have no worries the money is coming but using a new personal bank this year and every bank is different so it would be nice to know what is going on because if there is a 24-hour hold like last year between Santa Barbara and my bank I do not know if I would get the deposit Saturday or Monday.

[Anonymous]

@Tia I have the same pattern; 20140605, 20130605, 20120605. I filed on the 23rd, one bar on WMR, no 2015 transcripts available as of yet.

[Cafeazucartx]

I wonder why my past numbers are so off from everyone else’s that filed.. I wonder from a divorce or it’s just when you file? Weird…

[Cafeazucartx]

Okay I think I can stop panicking now!!! I went back and looked at past deposits and
I always get mine on a Thursday or a Friday.
2014- 20140601- refund date was 2/21 friday
2013- 20130901- refund date was 2/28 thursday
2012- 20120702- refund date was 2/11 Friday
so it wasn’t even in the cycle for me to freak out. So I’m going to chill until next Friday.

[Nichole]

My cycle date on the transcript was 20150403 but navy federal is showing it pending with a post date 1/30/15…

[Janice]

1/26/15 file and accepted
1/28/15 11pm can see transcript and wages but says nothing there
20150404 cycle date as well

[waitinginwi]

I filed monday 26th was accepted 15 mins later I was just finally able to access my return transcript still say n/a for the others wage transcript still shows nothing. I don’t see the 846 anywhere on return transcript but my cycle date is 0404 what’s this mean for me? Today or next tues?

[nb777]

I filed with H and R Block the morning of the 21st and was accepted about 1 hour later. I was able to view my transcripts yesterday 01/27/15 They showed a cycle code of 20150402 plus that wonderful little 846 ;) and today the 28th my WMR bars moved to “refund approved”! I opted to have my refund direct deposited into my bank account, so i called my bank a few minutes ago and its showing a pending IRS DD due to be released 01/30!! So hang in there everyone! yours is coming soon too!, its funny how time drags by once you hit that file button! … Its like it starts this whole scary alternate slow motion reality, that doesn’t end until we get our refunds lol Then its back to normal scary reality lol :)

P.s i know that there was a lot of back and forth about cycle code 20150402 being friday or possibly monday .. but my DDD… plus my dd into my bank .. plus cycle code all match to friday … SO ITS FRIDAY!

[straysoul]

So the last 2 years I have gotten 2013-07-01 and 2012-07-01 which makes sense because I filed only one day difference . On the 3rd and 4th of febuary. I assume I will recieve my refund by the end of next week seeing how i filed 1 week earlier.My deposit was on the first day of the 7th cycle 02/13/2014 CR ADJ ADD FUNDS / HRB Tax Services

[Gucciman]

@MCRT88
Everyone who have 20150403 DDD is Monday. We willg et our money before WMR updates. If your bank give your early deposits most will see it friday

[MCRT88]

@Tia

It’s hard to predict when they will process yours/issue a return in the future, as there are many factors involved in it and there is always the risk of delay, audit, etc.
That said.. However it looks as if they processed yours on 05 every year and are possibly on a weekly cycle. The MOST recent people who have gotten their transcripts have received a cycle code of 20150403 and should expect movement on WMR and a DDD within the next 3-4 days. With the first 3 weeks being dead weeks, I would say your return is most likely to be processed and transcripts available this week within the next 1-2 days and WMR updated and DDD sometime beginning of next week with a DDD towards the end of the week Weds-Thurs. Thats my best guess. I would say that if you can’t view your transcripts by Friday night, then I’d start to worry.

[Gucciman]

@tia

you should be able to get your transcripts by now. Did you get a irs accept email or notification?

Cycle dates there means year/week/day

05 is the day which is thrusday so you probably always got your refund on wedsnday

[Tia]

@MCRT88 or anyone else who seems to know how to decipher the information. I filed on 01/20/15 through taxslayer, my past year codes are as followed:
20140605
20130805
20120505
I still cannot access my transcripts for this year, and my WMR still has one bar. When should I or can expect some type of update or refund for my account.

Thank you

[Gucciman]

@MELISSA

WMR is behind,I know it is because my transcripts say refund issued already since midnight end of tuesday

I filed, got accepted, got approved and will get my refund all in the same week

I filed and was acepted Monday morning. I got my transcripts midnight today with a 846 refund issued.. With cycle date of 20150403

So 4 days will have me a DD o Monday but as I said before i get my deposits a day early with my credit union and they dont do deposits on saturday so it willbe this friday I get my DD

all in one week

[MELISSA]

@ Gucciman, interesting….

“WMR doesnt update until tonight I beleive. Depending on day accepted it only updates like once a week. When you were accepted is what day WMR updates.. for me WMR updates wednsdays.”

I was submitted on the 9th, but was accepted on the 13th, as part of a test batch. WMR updated today, Wednesday, for me. Could it be the next day?

[Gucciman]

@MIssnAz

Exactly your cycle date is one day from mine. you get yours friday i get mine monday. Weekends doesnt count….. Since i get my deposit a day early through my bank it will be friday i get my deposit

This is 100% accurate. i check me and wifes last year return as well

WMR doesnt update until tonight I beleive. Depending on day accepted it only updates like once a week. When you were accepted is what day WMR updates.. for me WMR updates wednsdays

DO NOT TRUST WMR..

we told you people several times over and over and over again. its very late updating

[MIssnAz]

@ Gucciman, you’re splitting hairs. Nonetheless….

I am willing to wager. Yes, wager you’re wrong. Whatever arrives on Monday is mine. K?

What does your WMR say?

Your cycle is one day from mine (20150402) and I am scheduled for Friday, as per WMR.

[Gucciman]

***PLEASE READ AND REPOST!!!!!!!!!!!!!! THIS IS 100% ACCURATE!!!!!!!!***

@MCRT88 your wrong. i have 20150403 846 refund issued

That means it was approved and refund issued started Tuesday, add 4 business days that will make it Monday.
My bank does deposits a day early but it doesnt do deposits on saturday so hopefully i will get it friday.

and this is accurate ,I checked my last year transcripts and my cycle day was thursday and i got my refund on Tuesday morning.. 3 business days

My cycle day is Tuesday this year, so i will get my deposit Friday morning which is 3 business days

I also checked my wifes last year transcripts but here bank does do early deposits really. we both had same cycle date of thursday. She had capital one 360 and she got heres Wednsday. I got USAA and i got mines tuesday

[Gucciman]

@MCRT88 your wrong. i have 20150403 846 refund issued

That means it was approved and refund issued started Tuesday, add 4 business days that will make it Monday.
My bank does deposits a day early but it doesnt do deposits on saturday so hopefully i will get it friday.

[straysoul]

@ericp i believe it is monday the 2nd

[MCRT88]

So if your cycle date says 20150403, by the conclusion we’ve come too, that means your return and refund were approved in 2015 during Cycle week 4 on Day 3. So today.. Now add 4 business days to then and you will have your DDD. Tuesday of next week will be your DDD. Possibly Tuesday night Weds morning. I would expect an update on WMR tomorrow or sat/sun based on when most people get their WMR updated. IT IS IMPORTANT TO REMEMBER YOU MUST HAVE TC 846 ON YOUR ACCOUNT TRANSCRIPTS.. if you do, congrats, you should have your money middle of next week!

[ericp]

I got a cycle code of 20150403 – which i am guessing it means next friday.

[ericp]

I got a cycle code for 20150403 – today. Can anyone help me?

[Stacia]

I agree. Having it all in one spot, condensed into one post would probably be helpful for future readers and/or newcomers who end up in this forum during their search for refund info lol. GO FOR IT!

[Roger]

@MCRT88: I hear you – sometimes you can get the right answer with the wrong logic – it happens :) At least it got me thinking. I only bothered looking into this myself to confirm your claims, out of intellectual curiosity, so you at least inspired me to self-educate on the matter :)

@Stacia: Yeah, I think those are all the pieces of the puzzle and prove the correct interpretation of the cycle date and what it means to

Someone should post a new thread combining @MCRT88’s research and ours.

Next year, assuming too much doesn’t change, it would just be a matter of confirming that the cycle date day codes haven’t changed (i.e. that 01 still equals Friday, 02 = Monday, …, 05 = Thursday) and then copying the OP from this year to a new thread next year.

I mean, at this point I think we’ve sufficiently deduced how to interpret the information to 100% accuracy…as long as you have an 846 approved return.

Of course, there are still other mysteries, but I think the “dead cycles” that I saw described on one of the IRS guide’s other pages sufficiently explains why we didn’t see any movement until this week.

It’s all there in the IRS gobbledegook, just takes a while to understand what they are talking about.

[Stacia]

IMF Refund Payment Date -The IMF Refund Payment Date will be computed by IMF for both Direct Deposit and Paper Check refunds and will be listed on the refund transaction TC 846 in fields:

•”RFND-PAY-DATE” on IMFOL, format MMDDYYYY

•”RFND-PYMT-DT” on TXMOD, format YYYYMMDD

IMF computes this field as the posted cycle date PLUS four business days for Direct Deposit refunds; posted cycle date PLUS six business days for Paper Check refunds.

[kb]

I have the same cycle code 20150402. Refund was accepted the same date I filed 1-23-15 but I still only have 1 bar on wmr. I filed with tax act, & did have to pay penalties for no health insurance. I have no clue if I have any codes this is first year I downloaded transcript and have no clue where to look for any codes.

[Stacia]

Found this….if this is the same thing we’re all talking about, it supports how the 02 is Monday. Then +4 being Friday. To explain how a 20150402 cycle date results in a 1/30/15 DDD. Not sure if “IMF Cycle Date” is the same as what’s on the transcripts – I’m seriously speculating here. but the format works to explain what’s being discussed in this thread. just wanted to share what I saw

3.30.123 Processing Timeliness: Cycles, Criteria and Critical Dates

IMF Cycle Date is a daily cycle designated by an eight digit number indicating the year, the two digit cycle number and the two digit number indicating the day of the week (YYYYWWDD). The following values for DD are defined:

A.01 = Friday

B.02 = Monday

C.03 = Tuesday

D.04 = Wednesday

E.05 = Thursday

[Latisha28]

Can you help me understand what my cycle has meant for the past 3 years to better understand my cycle this year 20140705; 20130505; 20120605

[Stacia]

@ROGER

How is 20150402 translated into Monday 1/26 when the 02 is the day of the week and their week starts on Thursday? Or was the start date of their week incorrect in the original post?

[Jonny]

Wouldn’t the new week start tomorrow. So lets say this week is the 4th week. IRS days start on Thursday so Tomorrow should be the first day of week 5?

[Scotty]

So my cycle date is 20150402 but I’m still at 1 bar and I don’t have a DDD yet. I was accepted on 1/13 and I do have that 570 code on my transcript. Is something wrong?

[Jonnny]

I forgot to add We got accepted the 26th.

[MCRT88]

@ROGER

IS EXACTLY RIGHT, as I stated previously, it IS in fact the “Cycle Date” plus 4 days. At the time of this posting I didn’t have the “+4” information and I was making a calculated assumption of what I knew, what I researched, and previous year returns. So I was right on when it would be DD, because the end result of the pattern was correct, but wrong on the definition of the cycle date. Its like doing Algebra in a sense, you can get the same answer and the solution is correct, but how you got to that solution is wrong. I WAS DAMN CLOSE THOUGH. Lol. Either way, I am happy that when I told people they would have their money Friday, that I wasn’t wrong, and didn’t get anybody’s hopes up for no reason. So in that sense, the post served its purpose. And Thank you @Roger.

[Jonnny]

The last three transcripts are as followed. 20140604, 20131304, and 20120703. Last year I didn’t get my refund until April. I had a outstanding Student loan and that delay it. 2013 we were delayed until Beginning of April because HRBlock had some error in their code and it kicked our return back. 2012 We were not delayed. This year my wife and I don’t owe anything and hopefully get it the normal time. We generally get ours the first week of February.

[Roger]

Yep, MCRT88 was right about the DDD, but for the wrong reason. The 20150402 cycle date refers to this past Monday, 1/26, not this Friday, 1/30.

The cycle date is not your DDD date – it’s the date your return was processed. As someone else said, DDDs tend to be your cycle date + 4 business days, which is what occurred in this case (as well as last year and earlier).

In other words:

Cycle date = Date Return Processed
Fund release date (date your direct deposit institution is notified, I believe) = Cycle date + 2 business days
Date funds are generally available at your institution = Cycle Date + 4 business days

Therefore, the 20150402 refers to Monday, the funds were “released” today, and they will actually hit your account on Friday.

I’m not saying this to be a jerk to the OP – he did a great analytical job – but I’d rather people fully understand so they know for next year.

[Jimmy]

MRTR88…sure I messed the name up, anyway was right 20150402 and I got my DDD 1/30/15 WMR updated as well with 2 bars. THANK YOU!

[MELISSA]

@ Andre, sounds like Monday. But this depends on where the money is headed (it could be sooner).

Cycle dates are important, but they mean nothing without a transcript code of 846. If you have one, it should be Monday or sooner.

[Andre]

mine says 20150403…. Can someone tell me my direct deposit date..HELP!!!

[TSSS]

@MCRT88 thank you so much you were right accepted 1/21 transcripts yesterday with the 20150204 and wmr updated today with a ddd of 1/30 :)

[B Michelle]

@MCRT88 You were dead on!! Thanks again!!! I got my DDD for the 30th which is Friday!!!!

[Leslie]

@Nikita That isn’t an audit code, it is a hold and it appears many people who have healthcare penalties have them this year. I have a healthcare credit and also the error on the return was not my fault or HRBlocks fault, it was transmitted completely fine. It was when the IRS system or person inputted the numbers into the transcript they missed putting the amount in for September which could cause an error. If this is the case for the 570 then it’s easily fixable and I wouldn’t start jumping to conclusions. However, I think that the healthcare debacle period is why so many people have the 570 and whether its a credit or a penalty, either way it adds a hiccup to the process. If i don’t see an update within a few days then I will start to worry. I will continue to post on here as updates occur though in case it helps someone else in the same boat.

[Anonymous]

MCRT88 you were right on the money… got ddd of 1/30 woohooo… thanks so much :)

[chynadoll]

Got my ddd 1-30-15… he was right!

[ally27]

have the same ddd 1-30

[Nikita]

@LESLIE

That definitely goes with what I posted that TC 570 means you are being audited. Well in irs terms u were sent for review which will take 60-90 days….
I would be hounding H&R Block because that’s their screw up.
They should pay for your attorney to get this straightened out

[nikita]

I got my ddd also so… I filed with free tax usa was accepted within 5 mins on 1/22 was able to see account transcript on Monday night and return transcript Tuesday morning and now a ddd of 1/30/2015.

[JenniferQ]

You were right! I updated on WMR for a DD 1/30. I filed with TT on 1/20 and was accepted on 1/20. I didn’t update past one bar until tonight. So the 02 is Friday. thank you for posting this and helping a lot of us out. I was confused by all the other posts about cycle dates and DDs but yours was clear and very helpful. I am also West Coast in NV in case people need to know.

[Jakeinga]

Just checked and have a DDD of 1/30, so it looks likes day code 02 is indeed Friday. I didn’t have fees taken out of my refund, but filed with TT and took the offer to have part of my refund applied to an Amazon Gift Card with a 10% bonus, so it will be going to SBTG before BOA, hoping to get it all Friday, but it may be Saturday or as late as Tuesday, no matter I can wait another few days.

[user22]

You were right. Mine says ddd this Friday the 30th

[Casebase]

I had that code with issue date of 2-16 and my money is pending in my acct for 1/29 release.

[Nisha621]

Filed 1/10, accepted 1/13. Have a cycle code of 20150402, WMR now shows approved (1/28), with a DD of 1-30-2015.

[Nisha621]

I have a cycle code of 20150402, WMR shows approved with a DD of 1-30-2015.

[Leslie]

Ok, so i have code 570 “account action pending” and I’ve been looking over my transcript and I saw that one of the monthly Premium tax credit amounts for September is listed as 0.00 even though what I sent on my return which i transmitted via hrblock shows the correct amount. Also I have my 1095A from the government also showing the correct amount that goes in that box but somehow when either the computer or person entered my information that’s showing on my account and return transcript they left that amount off which should be a little over 200 dollars and that also would then throw off figures for premium tax credit which would then throw off my refund. This is not my error so I’m not exactly sure who i need to contact to let them know they are missing the darn number. I hate to have to wait forever for their screw up.

[amanda85]

I filed my taxes thru tt on 1-20-15 and was accepted the same day when will my taxes be deposited… thanks

[B Michelle]

@mcrt88 thanks so much for your post… It helped me get a better understanding of transcripts and cycle codes

[B Michelle]

https://igotmyrefund.com/igmr/topic/what-your-cycle-date-means-when-you-will-get-your/

[Danielle]

Just so you guys know the IRS changed cycle days this year, 01 = Friday, 02 = Monday, 03 = Tuesday, 04 = Wednesday, and 05 = Thursday

[Tatiana]

So I just called and talked someone and she told me my Direct deposit will be going out on 1/30. I filed on 1/8 and got accepted on 1/12.. I was worried for a while. But they are not updating the system until next week.

[Anonymous]

the past 3 years i have been an 05 and I cannot get my transcripts so does that mean im a 05 this year too? if so, will I have my DD by the 5th or 6th? confused….

[crenee]

I believe that the cycle date is the day your return was processed.
Have my transcripts from this year and the two previous years and figured out that first of all, the first day (monday, tuesday,wednesday,thursday,or friday) of the cycle for a particular year is obviously whatever day January 1st falls on that year. Start on that date and the other four business days have a subsequent number. (not the weekends).
2015 04 02
year 4th week of the year 2nd day in that week

For this year’s transcript, the cycle # that a lot of us got 20150402 would be January 23, 2015. I think that this is the day our return was actually processed. If this is true, the +4 theory of adding four to this day did not work out for me personally.

All I know for sure, is that my return was direct deposited 18 days before the “Refund Issued” date on my transcripts last year, and 12 days before my “Refund Issued” date the year before that.

And my bank does not hold direct deposits and doesn’t release them early. So I know that the date I received them was the actual day that the deposits were dated for.
Hope this helps someone.

[#ShowMeTheMoney]

Hello World,

It has been such a pleasure reading these emails. First off, thank you to those who diligently search the irs manual and post the link. I will not go off on an entire paragraph to explain but here is a break down of what I am reading.

THE FOLLOWING STATES:

IMF Refund Payment Date -The IMF Refund Payment Date will be computed by IMF for both Direct Deposit and Paper Check refunds and will be listed on the refund transaction TC 846 in fields:

“RFND-PAY-DATE” on IMFOL, format MMDDYYYY

“RFND-PYMT-DT” on TXMOD, format YYYYMMDD

*****IMF computes this field as the posted cycle date PLUS four business days for Direct Deposit refunds; posted cycle date PLUS six business days for Paper Check refunds.*****

THIS IRS WEB LINK ALSO SHOWS THEIR “OWN” CALENDER… NOTICE THEIR DAYS OF THE WEEK ARE NOT EXACTLY WHAT YOU AND I ARE LOOKING AT IN OUR CALENDER:

http://www.irs.gov/irm/part3/34760002.html

SO……. looks like 20150402 is Monday, 1/26 and to be DD’d by Friday 1/30th.

Whatcha think?!

[nikita]

@ LESLIE

I found this about TC 570 listed in the IRS manual:

TC 570 initiated by IDRS numbers 148XX.

TC 971, AC 134

TC 971 AC 617

≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡

Advise the taxpayer their return was selected for review without disclosing the IVO involvement.

Inform the taxpayer that you are forwarding their inquiry to the function that is reviewing their return and they should be contacted within the following time frame: begin with the date of the initial letter on CC ENMOD and calculate 60-90 days from that date. Give these calculated dates to the taxpayer in which to receive further information. 
For example: if the letter date on CC ENMOD is March 12, 60 days from then is May 11, and 90 days is June 10. Advise the taxpayer they should receive further information between May 11 and June 10

I cannot guarantee this is right and am hoping you will change to TC 846 I’m just passing on what my research found….
I went to http://www.irs.gov/irm and it’s in part 21. After going to part 21 I did a “find on page” to get to the area I copied for you.

[RaineQ]

@ MCRT88: Thank you for all of your wonderful information. I have read the posts on this site for the past 2 years and this is the first time I tried to read my IRS Account Transcript. I am in the first round of refunds and I’m thankful and relieved to have your information to find this out. My cycle says: 20150402!

[chynadoll]

@Nakita you might be right because last year I got my money feb 6th but My refund issue date was on feb 24th

[Brittany]

When I try to get my transcript online it tells me to call identity theft number and I called an spoke to a rep and she said it was a error message and she’s not sure why so many are getting that message but I called to do it over the phone and it says unavailable. Do any1 know when the next batch will be? I was accepted by it’s on 1/22

[Brittany]

@Amanda thank you for that clarification that’s a huge relief to know that I was a little nervous cause those numbers didn’t make any since to me

[chynadoll]

Looks like my posted date is 1-27-15

[Courtney]

@elle I just went back and looked you have to go to account transcript instead of return. I see the 846 code now.

[Leslie]

I have a cycle date of 20150402 on my return transcript as well as my account transcript but where code 846 is on last years return i have code 570 currently in it’s place. I am just wondering if that is just the code that is present as things are processed before releasing because it still has the 2-16-2014 date next to it, the only difference is last years it said 846 2-24-2014 (and i got my dd on 2-10-2014) so right now sitting at 570 2-16-2014, I’m hopeful that will update to 846-2-16-2014 and be deposited on the 2nd (or friday depending on how you read the cycle dates.. that’s debatable and depends on the bank) I know i have no offsets and nothing has changed in the last year or any issues i can imagine that would hold it up unless that is just the generic… code “account action pending” that means the action will be… “its processed and ddd issued” Anyway, if anyone else would like to weigh in on that please let me know. Thanks!

[Anonymous]

@Courtney I reviewed previous years and I’ve always had code 846. Not having the code would make sense if there were other codes explaining why I’m not being issued the refund. :( wait and see, I guess.

[MissnAz]

@ Elle. the code 846 is essential. Without it it just refers to your “grouping”, but does not indicate any type of completion, thus no DDD.

[tswan20]

@ Nikita that was when they only did DD was on Fridays. Now they have deposits any day and they aren’t using BMF cycles

[Courtney]

@Elle I don’t have code 846 but I could see my transcript. I’ve looked back on my previous years and I never received that code on my transcripts. I have always received my refund the day wmr said it would be posted. Within 7 days. So I guess we gotta wait until Friday and see mines say 20150402!!

[nikita]

This is something else I found in the irs manual and would confirm a MONDAY FEBRUARY 2, 2015 deposit date (which I think are sent out on Friday nights since I recieved mine on a Saturday when wmr said monday)

The TC 846 date for a direct deposit is 03/19/2012. The actual direct deposit date, as indicated by the RFND-PAY-DATE field below the TC 846, is 03/05/2012. If the direct deposit is rejected, the mailing date for the paper refund check should be between 03/19/2012 and 04/02/2012

My TC 846 date is 2/16/2015 so the actual deposit date would be 14 days earlier which is Feb. 02, 2015. Last year my TC 846 date was 2/24/2014 and i recieved my refund 14 days before that on 2/10/2014.

I’m sticking to a Monday Feb. 02nd date. Hopefully I’m right in that they will go out on Friday night…..

[emoney]

Ahhhhh i got locked out for twenty four hours trying to get my transcript. …..it kept sayin i was putting wrong address

[amanda]

Yes nakita… you are correct, the numbers are the date your return was approved and you add 4 days to that and that’s the day you get your refund. I have the link to the fb. Page that explains it further…

https://igotmyrefund.com/groups/transcript/

[Roger]

@nikita: Your analysis seems accurate to me.

[amanda]

People are getting their submission I’d code and their cycle id. Code confused. You cycle id. Will be on your transcript, not your refund confirmation (submission id. Code) you have to go to the IRS site and pull up your transcript, you can’t tell anything by the numbers you are given when you submit your return.

[Anonymous]

I have the same cycle code as everyone else of 20150402 and I am thinking the theory of the cycle code being the day your return is processed and adding 4 days to it for you DDD may be right. Out of curiosity I looked at both my boyfriend and my tax return and account transcripts from last year and it added up to that. His code from last year was 20140605 and he got a ddd of 2/12/14 and mine was 20140705 with a ddd of 2/20/14. That would have been the sixth week and fifth day for him plus 4 days=2/12/14 and the seventh week fifth day plus 4 days (because the Monday following was presidents day so didn’t count)=2/20/14 for me. This is just my thoughts, here’s to high hopes of DDD for this Friday.

[nikita]

I think what’s confusing me is that the irs cycle # 4 should be Jan. 22-28 right? Jan started on a Thursday which is the first day of the irs week… which puts the start of the 4th cycle on the 4th Thursday in Jan which is the 22nd….
according to the cycle codes I found and the cycle codes the other person found the day could be:
IMF cycles: 02 is Monday
CADE cycles: 02 is Tuesday
CADE 2 cycles: 02 is Monday
So the 20150402 could either be Monday Jan. 26 or Tuesday Jan. 27

This just don’t make since unless these cycles are when the return was processed. I was able to see account transcript yesterday Jan 26 and return transcript today Jan 27th. Surely they didn’t send a direct deposit immediately after processing…
Am I missing something on the cycle week?
I used the previous poster copy and paste from irs manual which explains that aug. 10th 2015 is 20153203 that places Aug 10th in the 32nd cycle which puts them starting their cycle on Jan. 1st would would verify that cycle 4 is in fact jan.22-28th and 20150402 would have been yesterday or today?

[ally27]

@Roger I should have Caught that as muh as the dude that won the lottery repeated it.

[brittany]

@ Kevin I don’t have access to my transcript it will not let me pull it up but i got a submission code of 20150224 once the irs accepted my return

[Roger]

Sorry, was making a joke. Those are the numbers from Lost.

[Kevin]

@Brittany… you will see your cycle date off to the right of “Code 150”. Refer to the picture below.

NOT PORN….

http://postimg.org/image/420dlr7s9/

[ally27]

@Roger it mean ur not getting a refund lol..go to the transcripts from previous they all end in these numbers

[Dan]

So I’m getting worried that I screwed something up on my tax return. Yesterday I had n/a for all 4 transcripts but today it’s showing 2014 for Account and Wage & Income transcripts but they only list my wife and I and married filing jointly and at the bottom it says “No tax return filed”. Does this mean it’s processing? Should I be worried?

I filed on 1/8 with TT and got accepted 1/12. Usually I’m always in the first batch of refunds.

[janel120]

Just was able to order return transcript tomorrow a lot of people will their dd

@Brittany

Your Cycle Code/Date should only be 8 digits. Which transcript are you looking at? You want your Account Transcript, not Record of Account.

[Anonymous]

@roger I don’t think that’s your cycle code. Did it come from your acct. Transcripts?

[Roger]

But what does it mean if your cycle date is 4815162342.

[ally27]

@Kevin I think there is a misunderstanding. I didn’t call the IRS. hotline I called the offset number that’s the number from people that u owe for not paying ur dues through out the yr ie. child support. basically they are saying that the hek that’s dated on the 30th of Jan they have taken their money out an if u don’t believe me i an give u my number so u an hear. but I still have no ddd from the IRS. Trust me I am doubting but being the optimistic person that I am I will just be hopeful lol

[brittany]

@ kevin my numbers read 21000120150224181106

[nikita]

I have searched thru the irs manual and this is what I have found as far as the cycle codes:

CADE/CADE 2 cycle dates will carry an additional two digit field to indicate the day of the week processing occurred. The cycle date will post in a YYYYCCDD format. IMF accounts will be signified by a 08 in the DD field or the field will be blank.
CADE days of the week will be signified by:

01 = Monday

02 = Tuesday

03 = Wednesday

04 = Thursday

05 = Friday

06 = Saturday

07 = Sunday

08 or blank = IMF

Example:

A TC 846 in CADE cycle “20052303” indicates processing occurred Wednesday of the 23rd cycle in year 2005

CADE 2 days of the week will be signified by:

01 = Friday

02 = Monday

03 = Tuesday

04 = Wednesday

05 = Thursday

Example:

A TC 846 in CADE 2 cycle “20120503” indicates processing occurred Tuesday of the 5th cycle in the year

[Roger]

So, I’m not really trying to dispute the OP or rain on anyone’s parade, since I don’t claim to even remotely understand how everything works here, but the DD portion of the cycle code (YYYYMMDD) – the 02 in our case – seems to refer to Monday, not Friday.

I agree that the IRS week is Thursday through Wednesday (I read that somewhere else on the IRS site) skipping weekends, but according to the below from the IRS site, it suggests the 02 refers to Monday – NOT Friday, 01 is Friday.

Thoughts? Maybe I’m misinterpreting the IRS site.

3.30.123.4.9 (01-01-2015)
IMF Daily Processing

IMF processing will be daily except on weekends. Some transactions post to IMF on a daily basis as opposed to during the weekly cycle.

IMF Cycle Date is a daily cycle designated by an eight digit number indicating the year, the two digit cycle number and the two digit number indicating the day of the week (YYYYWWDD). The following values for DD are defined:

01 = Friday
02 = Monday
03 = Tuesday
04 = Wednesday
05 = Thursday

Note: This date is the equivalent of the Cycle Date in IDRS and reflects the date the transaction is posted by IMF. See Exhibit 3.30.123-2, Enterprise Computing Center – MTB Posting Cycle Calendar.

Example: IMF daily transactions balanced and released by the campus on Monday, August 10, 2015 will have a posting cycle of 20153203.

[Elle]

What about avail transcripts but no 846 refund code? Same cycle and all that.

[Kevin]

Well Ally27, I wasn’t pissing on your parade. But I was trying to clear up some information of everyone here, not just yourself.

I’m really glad to hear that you received a DDD. That’s great! I was only stating that the IRS has UP TO 21 DAYS to issue your non-problematic, non-offset refund from the Cycle Date. If you get it early, that is amazing. Go you.

[Kevin]

@Brittany

Are you sure your number is 20150224? Was that a typo? Your Cycle number should be right next to the date is says your refund was processed.

[Jessica B]

Wow you are absolutely correct.. last year i got mine on the 8th and the cycle date was 20140603 adds up perfect ☺ thanks

[ally27]

@Kevin I didn’t speak to anyone and it said my refund dated 1-30-2015 so i’m sure that is the hek that will come on Friday due to the fact that my refund date is 2-16. so u can pee on someone else parade but sir not mine u have a good day on that one

[brittany]

my cycle date says 20150224 can anyone tell me what this means being that 02 is the second week of the month and clearly that has past. Can any1 shed some light on this please

[Kevin]

@Connie2248…

If your refund goes to Santa Barbara Bank first, you will get your refund issued to your bank that day. At that point, it’s all up to your actual bank regarding when they post it. Mine was the next day, but happened on a Saturday. SSTB received my refund on Friday.

[ally27]

@Tatiana have u received ur transcripts. if not either there is none available cause ur refund have not been posted or because u have none at all but when I called they said the my refund dated 01-30-2015.. im so hyped

[Anonymous]

so if our cycle date is Friday and we have Republic Bank, will it be in our bank Friday or just be at Republic bank on Friday?

[Kevin]

@ally27 – YES.

I just spoke to someone I know who processes returns at the IRS, and they said that the Cycle Date is the date you are processed and completed. NOT the date you get a DDD. I am not sure of the date the 20150402 refund will be posted to accounts, but that Cycle Date is not the date. Again, it is the date you are processed and what cycle you are.

Also, if you take the date the cycle was processed (January 26, 2015), count 21 days from that date and that is why you get the “refund issued on 2/16” message on your transcript. This is all coming from someone who actually works at the IRS and processes our returns – not people who research online. But again, most refunds are issued before the date given on the transcript. For instance, my transcript last year stated 2/26 as a refund issue date, and I received it on Saturday the 8th.

Hope this helps.

[cccc69]

I to have a cycle date of 20150402 so I’m hoping that my 5K refund will hit my bank this week.

[Tatiana]

@Ally i juat called and it said the information was unavailable. What does that mean

[Elle]

Transcripts are avail for 2014 with the same cycle code everyone is posting. Except I don’t have the refund code 846. I have the usual codes, plus the one for not having insurance and owing that $$. No codes for a freeze or review or anything. What gives?? Anyone else not have 846? Do you think they’ll update again? I was accepted 1/21, etc etc.

[impatientlywaiting]

Actually, MCRT88, I never got “hostile” at all. I simply asked you not to post incorrect info. And I typed in caps to make sure my post didn’t go unnoticed, because I wanted people to see the accurate information. Not a single ounce of hostility here, champ.

[ally27]

also everyone just called the offset number to see if I had any offset and they said “for my refund dated 1-39-2015 I have 1 offset.. so thank u so much for this thread MCRT88. I hope u make a thread next yr …. Toll Free: (800) 304-3107

[MissnAz]

@ chynadoll, provided you have a code 846 on your transcript, and based off of everything that I have read (and assessed), it should be with you by Monday, possibly even Friday.

An 846 code is essential. Let’s hope we’re right!

[chynadoll]

WOW. So 20150402 is what I should look at… what date is that then? Lol but seriously Thanks you all, cleared up a lot of unanswered questions for me. The ppl on the TT FORUM are on there just bickering back and forth.

[MissnAz]

Thanks Ally27. I believe I also saw a post day of 1/26 on my transcript. (I do not want to jam the system by pulling it up again.)

Thanks again to MCRT88. Your posts help to reassure me that my thinking was correct. Enjoy your coming funds, and your little one!

[ally27]

posted from an admin… I want to try to clear up some confusion about the cycle dates. The cycle date is the date you posted to the master file. Posting cycles run from Friday to Thursday. Friday starts 01, you skip Sat and Sun, going to Monday with 02 and so on and so forth. Thursday is 05. So, a cycle date of 20150402 means you posted on 1/26/2015. You add 4 business days to that and your DDD is 1/30/2015. Congrats to everyone with the first cycles of the year!

[Noheliaha]

thanks that helped a lot for me 20150402

[MissnAz]

@ chynadoll, you’re correct. The refund issue date is not so critical, its the cycling code.

I BELIEVE that the “refund issue date” is the first day the IRS will ever begin to delve into an unreceived refund.

[MissnAz]

@ chynadoll, you’re correct. The refund issue date is not so critical, its the cycling code.

I BELIEVE that the “refund issue date” is the first day the IRS will ever begin to delve into an unreceived return.

[chynadoll]

CORRECTION: LAST YEAR MY REFUND ISSUED DATE WAS 2-24-14 BUT MY MONEY CAME TO MY NETSPEND CARD EXTREMELY LATE AT NIGHT ON 2-6-14…. IM ALSO USING NETSPEND AGAIN THIS YEAR BECAUSE MY BANK HOLDS MY MONEY FOR AN EXTRA 72HRS… SO THE TAX TRANSCRIPTS REFUND ISSUED DATE MEANS NOTHING?

[MCRT88]

@AMBER I really don’t believe that Friday is 01. Its really either Thursday or Monday. With it being Monday, it would be the date your return was processed, then add 4 days to that and that when you will receive your money. Or it is Thursday and Thursday night is when your return will be transmitted and that is your refund date.

[gtjib]

MCRT88 is right. I compared to my past transcripts to the date it actually hit my bank, and they are right on. So we should have deposits into banks on Friday! :)

[Natasha]

Wouldnt it be nice if we could track with the tracking number in the top right of our transcripts like UPS lol

[chynadoll]

You know what? Dont answer my last question because I just looked at my transcripts from last year and saw that my RETURN ISSUED DATE was 2-24-13 but my refund was given to me 2-6-13

[Amber]

Confused! If the week starts on Friday(01)… We are in the 4th week now… 201504-02 would have been yesterday?

[MCRT88]

@ALLY27 nothing was directed at you in any way, my post – posted after yours – because I was typing for a minute and you posted before I could. It wasn’t directed towards you. Also, thank you @Melissa. I was only getting hostile with one person and that was because I created this post, to do my best, to help people interpret their tax transcripts and to shed some light on the cycle dates for the hundreds of people asking what they meant and somebody got hostile with me for trying to do so. Instead of in a friendly manner, or so I took it. This post has served its purpose though…

IT ALSO SEEMS like @ordinarytaxpayer may be correct in that it is the day of the week processed. Because if you think about it, 2 people just in this post received theirs on a Thursday last year. One persons ended in 05 and one in 01, if its the processing day PLUS 4 for refund, then it seems if it was processed on a 05 (Friday) then 4 business days later would be Thursday and if it was processed on 01 (Monday) then it could very well come Thursday as well or Thursday night/FRIDAY morning. Either way, we all now know that we will be getting our refunds at the end of this week.

[Anonymous]

@Melissa
I use Netspend so that’s probably why I had my direct deposit on Wednesday instead of Thursday. WMR gave me 2/20 as the ddd. If you bank with a regular bank it will be the day WMR says. I stopped using my bank because they would hold my dd for 3-5 days!

[Melissa]

Bank deposit dates are going to vary. I think its safe to assert that we should have our refunds by Monday.

I wholeheartedly appreciate MCRT88’s efforts to decipher the cycling. Thank you, BTW. However, I too have seen the Impatientlywaiting’s IRS weekday number order in the same sequence.

Just for the sake of trying to shed some light…. 20140705 was my cycle last year. I received the deposit in my bank 02/20th, a Thursday.

[ally27]

@MCRT88 please don’t get hostile with me. i apologize I didn’t clarify my last post correctly I was telling the other person @impatientlywaiting you are right 100%. which u r. Glad u created this thread thnk u

[Anonymous]

Can someone start a NETSPEND thread PLEASE?? I got 2/16 date and I know that means Probably Friday deposit but I have netspend so I’m wondering if I’ll get it a day or 2 early??

[ally27]

chynadoll some people on another post said they spoke with SBBT an thy said that refunds should b available Fri the 30th

[ally27]

this is true because last yr my code was 20140601 and i got mines Feb 6th..which was a Thursday. i agree 100% with your theory MCRT88. it’s Confusing but this person is right even my previous yr transcripts were like this

Thurs – 01
Fri – 02
Mon – 03
Tues – 04
Weds – 05

[MCRT88]

And I never claimed to be 100% accurate, I said I am 99% positive that it will be sent on Friday. That was based of things that I had researched and patterns based off of previous returns and refunds and based off of what I saw, I was right to assume Friday. Because whether the Cycle Date is actually the refund date and I was right that it was Thurs-01 and Friday-02 or the Cycle Date is the date processed and plus 4 for a refund, either way the money is coming on Friday..

[ally27]

this is true because last yr my code was 20140601 and i got mines Feb 6th..

Thurs – 01
Fri – 02
Mon – 03
Tues – 04
Weds – 05

[chynadoll]

Ok, Im looking at my tax account transcript. I see the 846 code and it says REFUND ISSUED 2-16-15 BUT my cycle code is 20150402… so am I getting my money on the 16th or should I be paying attention to this code.

[MCRT88]

Thank you @wen that makes sense, that would put us at a REFUND DATE of Friday.

And for some reason, every single post I have posted keeps not posting, or posting and going away, or I get a Gateway Error.

[MCRT88]

Idk why these comments aren’t posting… and every one that opposes @impatientlywaiting ‘s comments have got deleted or now not showing.. or why @impatientlywaiting is getting hostile. So here we go..

ACCORDING TO THIS PDF: http://www.irs.gov/irm/part3/34760003.html ON THE IRS.GOV SITE, ABOUT REFUND CYCLE WEEKS, WE ARE CURRENTLY IN CYCLE WEEK 4! AS CLEARLY STATED BY THE 201504 NEXT TO THIS WEEK! IT DOESNT STATE THE CYCLE DAYS, BUT IM PRETTY POSITIVE MONDAY IS NOT 02.

BECAUSE IF IT WAS AND IF YOUR INFORMATION IS ACCURATE AND 20150402 IS MONDAY IN THE 4TH CYCLE WEEK, THEN OUR MONEY WOULD HAVE BEEN SENT ON MONDAY! THEY DEPOSIT MONDAY-FRIDAY AND I DONT HAVE MINE?.. NOT IN MY SBBT ACCNT, NOT IN MY BANK ACCNT?.. HAVE YOU RECEIVED YOUR REFUND?.. ARE YOU NOT IMPATIENTLYWAITING ANYMORE AS YOUR S/N APPLIES?

LISTEN, I POSTED THIS AS A CALCULATED ASSUMPTION BASED ON INFORMATION I WAS GIVEN, INFORMATION FROM PREVIOUS TAX RETURNS AND INFORMATION ON THE IRS.GOV WEBSITE AND ONLY ON THE SECURED SITE. THURSDAY IS 01, FRIDAY IS 02, OUR MONEY SHOULD BE SENT ON FRIDAY. ALSO, IT DOES MAKE A LITTLE SENSE, SINCE YOU KNOW, THE MONTH BEGAN ON THURSDAY 01/01/2015.. YOU CAN GO OFF ON ME FOR GIVING INCORRECT INFORMATION ALL YOU WANT BUT WE WILL SEE ON FRIDAY, OR MONDAY, BUT IF WE ARE GOING BY THE CALENDAR OF CYCLE WEEKS, AND IT IS GOING TO BE DEPOSITED NEXT MONDAY THEN I BELIEVE OUR CYCLE DATES WOULD READ 20150502!!

[Wen]

Cycle date is not the refund date!!! Cycle date of 20150402 means it was processed week 04 day 02 of 2015 – Monday 1/26. DD dates are cycle day +4 that so should be 1/30- Friday.

[OrdinaryTaxPayer]

IMF Refund Payment Date -The IMF Refund Payment Date will be computed by IMF for both Direct Deposit and Paper Check refunds and will be listed on the refund transaction TC 846 in fields:

“RFND-PAY-DATE” on IMFOL, format MMDDYYYY

“RFND-PYMT-DT” on TXMOD, format YYYYMMDD

IMF computes this field as the posted cycle date PLUS four business days for Direct Deposit refunds; posted cycle date PLUS six business days for Paper Check refunds.

[Amber]

I did see the chart tht impatiently waiting posted about it does indicate that 02- Monday, however if it is NEXT Monday wouldn’t that be 20150502? Week 5?

[OrdinaryTaxPayer]

MF Refund Payment Date -The IMF Refund Payment Date will be computed by IMF for both Direct Deposit and Paper Check refunds and will be listed on the refund transaction TC 846 in fields:

[impatientlywaiting]

@MCRT88 – PLEASE STOP PROVIDING FALSE INFORMATION. THE 02 IS THE MONDAY THIS YEAR. I TOOK THIS DIRECTLY FROM THE IRS MANUAL
02 IS MONDAY THIS YEAR
Code 846 is refund and 2015 is year, 04 is the week of the year, and 02 the day.
3.30.123.4.9 (01-01-2015)

05 = Thursday

GOOGLE “3.30.123.4.9 (01-01-2015)” AND READ FOR YOURSELF. 02 IS MONDAY IN 2015!!!

[MCRT88]

@JAY make sure you are looking at the right Transcript, ACCOUNT Transcript.. 2014, scroll down to bottom of first page, under TRANSACTIONS it will say “Code Explanation of Transaction” and it will say something like:

150 TAX RETURN FILED (CYCLE DATE) (2-16-2015) (AMOUNT)
766 CREDIT TO YOUR ACCOUNT (4-15-2015) (AMOUNT)
768 EARNED INCOME CREDIT (4-15-2015) (AMOUNT)
846 REFUND ISSUED (2-16-2015) (AMOUNT)

HOPE THIS HELPS!

[MCRT88]

@KEVIN If you’re not having any fees taken out of your refund, then it will bypass SBBT and go straight into your account from the treasury, the only way it goes through SBBT is if you are having the fees taken out of your refund. HOWEVER, SBBT is normally pretty fast at processing and sending it to your bank accnt, typically within hours of receiving your money they have already sent it to YOUR BANK, now whether your banks policies determine a 24 hour hold on all DD’s or they post straight to your account with no hold is determined by your bank. I would advise EVERYBODY who is having their refund DD to check their bank policies. The exception normally is with PREPAID VISA/MASTERCARD, the reason that so many places recommend using a pre-paid (i.e. Netspend, Greendot, Walmart Money Card) card to receive your refund is because A) it bypasses paper checks and B) because it posts immediately without any holds on 95% of all pre-paid cards and bypasses regular bank (i.e. Chase, Bank of America, Wells Fargo) policies.

[Maritza]

I’m so happy for everyone! I did want to add as I saw someone else also said it is very important that the last line on your account transcript *under Transactions should read

846 REFUND ISSUED

No Matter what cycle date you have If you don’t have that code then something is delayed

Have a great day !!

[Kevin]

Hey all,

Like some here, I am able to view all of my transcripts with a cycle date of 20150402. Good news! However, when I filed with Turbo Tax, I was able to get away with not paying any tax prep fees. If I remember correctly, last year’s refund was sent through Santa Barbara Bank & Trust before finally hitting my account, because I had fees taken out.

SO my question is…. Santa Barbara cannot find my info in the system. Should I even expect it to go through there, or just straight to my account? Any info is appreciated!

[MCRT88]

Yup and the 20140705 would be Weds. 02/19. Weds is 05, because IRS doesn’t process on weekends:

Thurs – 01
Fri – 02
Mon – 03
Tues – 04
Weds – 05

then the cycle restarts. You will have your money Thursday night / Friday morning. Some time in between Midnight and 7 AM. That is when I expect my money as well. Glad to see this thread is helping people out, I know how it is. As a 26 y/o single father of a 4 year old boy, I def look forward to this money every year. So I know the anticipation can kill and not knowing is the worst, but this way you can bypass that pesky WMR and figure it out on your own :)

[Jay]

Hey all, i am able to see my transcripts now and have a cycle date of 20150402, but i don’t see a code “846” on my scripts at all. the only thing i say at the bottom reads “form 8888 total refund per computer= $0.00. but above that it reads “refund amount” and shows the correct amt im supposed to be receiving but with no codes on that line. anyone know what this means?

[Anonymous]

Just looked at my 2013 Account and return transcripts. Last year my code was 20140705. I got my refund on 2/19 which is the 7th week in the cycle so I think this thread is RIGHT ON THE MONEY! (Pun intended) lol! It’s my birthday and I’m going to Vegas on Thursday so this money is so on time!!!
I have netspend so I’m thinking my money will be on my card tomorrow or Thursday???

[MCRT88]

I expect that those of us that can see our transcripts will see a push on WMR tonight with DDDs of 01-30-15.

[MCRT88]

@Melissa you are correct. On your transcript, when it lists your deductions and codes for those deductions, at the very bottom of those it will say ” 846 REFUND ISSUED (Amount)” then you know that is how much you will be getting back on your cycle date!

[Melissa]

MCRT88, based on all the information I have read, your assessment will probably hold true, however you’re forgetting one critical qualifier…. the 846 code!!

[MCRT88]

@TYLR You have no reason to worry, your cycle date is 20150402, which is what matters. That is when your money will be DD. The other dates in FEB are for the IRS systems and that APR 15th is when your return was received or when it is due by (whichever is the later date) so because it was received in JAN, obviously APR 15 is the later date. Those dates are all for the IRS and their systems. The cycle date is what really matters, it tells them when to send the money, and yours is the same as mine and everybody else’s that can view their transcripts already. Which means it is the 4th week of 2015 on the 2nd cycle day, which is Friday 1-30-2015.

[tylr]

I’m super confused. I have the “CYCLE POSTED” code that most people seem to have (20150402)

but people are saying they have a processed date and a refund date of the middle of February.. I have neither of those on my transcript!

It does say my “received date” is April 15th 2015?!

Should I be worried or should I still expect my refund soon like most people here?

[JenniferQ]

Thank you! Last night I kept seeing people saying the cycles and I was confused as to what the 04 part was the last week of Jan or the start of Feb. I looked at my last 2 cycles on my returns from the last two years and you’re right if they go the way they have been. Thanks again :D
