After you file

The cycle code indicates the day your account posted to the IRS Master File. This date indicates the 4 digits of the current cycle year, two-digit IRS cycle week, and two-digit processing day of the week. 

 

Every year it is a great debate if cycle dates have meanings... for me, for the past 5 years I have received my refund according to the cycle date, usually the following day from it.   Im sure the debate will go on...
