I just learned about using tax transcripts to help track your return, I’m new to it so I don’t know if I’m doing it right. I do have 2 minor child dependents, but it seems as though there should be some record of my return in the transcript system by now.

Here's what the IRS says about transcripts:
"Will ordering a transcript help me find out when I’ll get my refund?"
"A tax transcript will not help you find out when you’ll get your refund. The information transcripts have about your account does not necessarily reflect the amount or timing of your refund. They are best used to validate past income and tax filing status for mortgage, student and small business loan applications, and to help with tax preparation."
