The cycle code tells you the calendar date in which your account posted to the master file. This is what the cycle code means :

  • 2020 Year
  • 05 is the IRS cycle week (5th week of filing season)  [See screenshot below for a list of cycle dates.]
  • 05 is the processing day of the week  (Thursday in your case)


Put them all together and you have Thursday, January 23, 2020.

 

 

Cycle Code Ending in 01= Friday
Cycle Code Ending in 02= Monday
Cycle Code Ending in 03= Tuesday
Cycle Code Ending in 04= Wednesday
Cycle Code Ending in 05= Thursday

Incorrect. You don’t start counting the weeks at Jan 1st. You start week 1 the first week the IRS starts accepting applications so 20200505 means feb 27th

I got a cycle code this AM of 20200605 and have EITC and CTC.  No code 846 yet.  Anyone know if this means refund is coming soon?

My cycle this year is 20200505 which say DD will likely be 2/27/20.  However, my cycle last year was 20190705 and I got my DD on 2/27/19.  Not sure what to think at this point.

You have the possiblity of getting your money sooner...check your transcript next week probably mid week and it should be changed.

570 means audit, happened to me last year.  I got my taxes in November.  I'm sorry but 570 is definitely Audit
