The difference is when your tax return is processed, and when updates are made and posted to your account.
Certain individual tax returns undergo daily processing without requiring any additional actions to the taxpayer’s account on the master file. These returns are typically straightforward, with no credits involved.
Taxpayer accounts are typically processed weekly, with the majority of taxpayers receiving tax refunds. In cases involving a tax refund, accounts are often processed on a weekly basis.
Tax returns needing additional verification for accuracy are processed weekly to provide the IRS ample time for thorough review and correction before posting to the Master File.

An IRS Cycle Code serves as a distinct identifier assigned to every batch of tax returns processed by the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) within a specified timeframe. It aids in the efficient tracking and management of tax return processing. Typically, the cycle code comprises eight digits: the first four digits denote the processing year, the middle two digits represent the calendar week during which the return was received and processed, and the last two digits indicate the day of the week (ranging from 01 to 05) when the return underwent processing. Familiarizing yourself with the cycle code can offer valuable insights into the timeline of your tax return processing and the issuance of your refund.

If you are claiming Earned Income Credit or Additional Tax Credits and will be affected by the PATH LAW. All returns claiming the two mentioned credits above will be held under a C-Freeze. When your return is held under a C-Freeze this forces the tax return to update only on a weekly schedule. Everyone with the PATH message whether their cycle code ending in 01, 02, 03, 04, or 05 should see WMR updates on Saturdays. When a C-Freeze is on the account the computer forces the account to post updates on Where’s My Refund(WMR) on Saturdays.
