@Roxy: same code an nothing on a 45 day review til 4/25 wmr never updated since I filed 1/30 accept 1/31 never had bars still say we have received ur return it is begin processed
@Roxy: 20190902????
If you are talking about the number shown below the word CYCLE, that is a code indicating when your return posted to the IMF. It’s not actually a “date” even though it looks like it might be. It is shown on the same line as code 150 Tax Return Filed. Or are you talking about the date under the word “DATE” on the same line?
Hello, beside “cycle” there is “date” and mine says 4-15-2019, what does that mean?
@Need2KnowNow: 05 means Thursday…..06 means the week after you filed……..so look for March 14, 2018
My cycle code is 20190605, what does that mean?
@Jeremiah: same boat have you found out anything about it???
@McStoots: you do realize this website doesn’t belong to the IRS so your message won’t be seen by them?
@AnaCristine: mines say the same I’m so confused
@AnaCristine: i have the same.
How do i find my cycle code on my transcripts?
My cycle code is 20190705 – February 14th. I do have EIC so I don’t know how much that slows it down but it’s definitelt not here yet. I’m actuallr surprised that my code even shows February 14th because I figured it would be closer to the 28th.
@Jeremiah: that’s what I need to know.
@alucard: I have the same cycle date. Did you update last night?
we filed our taxes january 28,2019 efiled . we have earned income credit coming, a person thru IRS has told me 3 different stories about our taxes. supposed got them on feb 11, feb15. last story be feb 18 which is the 21 day from when we filed. fed up with the dam lies. in a hurry to tax the heck out of a man whom works his but off to support us but IRS taking their sweet time giving us our $9,101. our gas probably be getting shut off soon. its our heat and hot water. plus our truck is in need of bad repairs which it barely runs. please stop lying and refund us. Feb 19 I will be on phone calling you if We dont have our refund as was told yesterday we would get them by feb 18th.
I have 20190705 which cycle date as February 14th with no dependants no credit no nothing. I am filing married seperately but as of today still processing. any idea when should i expect it or will it be pushed to next cycle?
@Jeremiah: I have the exact thing and wondering what it meant
I’m 20190505
But underneath it says my received date is April 15, 2019, what does that mean? Why is it a future date (that’s so far away)?
@Jeremiah: do you have EIC or ACTC. The as of date is exactly 21 days from when you filed. Meaning that the IRS has to action by that day or they will push out again. If you have the above credits then regardless you are to wait until 2/15. I would check on 2/15 ( your transcripts) if you have the credits
I have 20190505 and January 31st has been here and gone according to the code chart above.
cycle is 20190505 and date is 2/18/2019. What does all of this mean?
@Angela: you can have it mailed to you.
What if you can’t get your transcripts. How can you figure out your cycle
