This IRS update calendar shows you how most updates occur for IRS transcripts and the Where’s My Refund WMR tool. The days and times when the IRS updates can be confusing. The days shown below are for MASS updates; however, some transactions will produce an update on any day.
Still confused? Some accounts can be identified as being “weekly” and will only see updates twice a week (once for transcripts, and once for WMR) The finer details for when the IRS updates Transcripts and WMR and how to decipher when your account will update (daily/weekly) is here: IRS systems updates. The easiest way to get your IRS transcript is online. And, we always have a live tax refund discussion going if you are still confused.
Select which type of IRS account you have, daily or weekly. If you are unsure choose daily because most accounts are updated daily. We have estimated these dates if the IRS begins accepting tax returns on January 29th. If your return is accepted before then, it is likely your return was selected in a test batch. On mobile devices, press the +/- button next to your acceptance date to expand.
This chart is for IRS accounts scheduled by the IRS to be updated daily. You can determine if you’re a daily vs weekly account by looking at the cycle code on an IRS account transcript. Your cycle code can change each year. Typically if your cycle code ends in 01 02 03 or 04 you have a daily account.

*Expected direct deposit days are for people who paid filing fees upfront and using traditional banks. Some credit unions, non-traditional banks and various pre-paid card post deposits up to 2 days earlier. If you chose to have tax preparation fees deducted from your refund, it is handled through a third party and deposits can take longer.
The WMR can update any day of the week. However, mass updates on daily accounts are usually Wednesday; and mass updates on weekly accounts are usually Saturday.

They can happen any day of the week. However, mass direct deposits are usually Wednesdays and Fridays.

Also, some credit unions, non-traditional banks and various pre-paid cards even post direct deposits several days earlier than anticipated by WMR. If you chose to have preparation fees deducted from your refund, it can be later than the day indicated on the WMR or on the calendar.
