If I could give 10 stars I would
If I could give 10 stars I would If I could give 10 stars I would Such an amazing service so needed during the times when EDD almost never picks up Claimyr gets me on the phone with EDD every time without fail faster. A much needed service without Claimyr I would have never received the payment I needed to support me during my postpartum recovery. Thank you so much Claimyr!
Really made a difference
Really made a difference, save me time and energy from going to a local office for making the call.
Worth not wasting your time calling for hours.
Was a bit nervous or untrusting at first, but my calls went thru. First time the wait was a bit long but their customer chat line on their page was helpful and put me at ease that I would receive my call. Today my call dropped because of EDD and Claimyr heard my concern on the same chat and another call was made within the hour.
An incredibly helpful service
An incredibly helpful service! Got me connected to a CA EDD agent without major hassle (outside of EDD's agents dropping calls – which Claimyr has free protection for). If you need to file a new claim and can't do it online, pay the $ to Claimyr to get the process started. Absolutely worth it!
Consistent,frustration free, quality Service.
Used this service a couple times now. Before I'd call 200 times in less than a weak frustrated as can be. But using claimyr with a couple hours of waiting i was on the line with an representative or on hold. Dropped a couple times but each reconnected not long after and was mission accomplished, thanks to Claimyr.
IT WORKS!! Not a scam!
I tried for weeks to get thru to EDD PFL program with no luck. I gave this a try thinking it may be a scam. OMG! It worked and They got thru within an hour and my claim is going to finally get paid!! I upgraded to the $60 call. Best $60 spent!

Be careful with these prepaid cards. According to IRS Publication 1345 regarding refund delivery, the IRS is only responsible for sending the refund to the financial institution. The timing of when funds are made available by the financial institution falls outside IRS jurisdiction. I had a terrible experience last year where my refund was delayed by 5 days on a similar card. The fine print in the Serve Card agreement states they can hold deposits for up to 5 business days for verification purposes. Check your cardholder agreement for the exact terms.
I'm going through the exact same thing right now! My DD date was also 3/8 and I'm still waiting. This is my first year using Jackson Hewitt and the Serve Card, so I wasn't sure what to expect. Reading everyone's experiences here is actually really helpful - sounds like 1-3 days after the official DD date is pretty normal for these cards. I checked WMR this morning and it shows "refund sent" so at least I know the IRS did their part. Going to try calling the Serve Card customer service line later today to see if they can tell me anything about pending deposits. Thanks for posting this question - I was starting to think something was seriously wrong!
Welcome to the waiting game! I'm dealing with the same exact situation - DD date of 3/8 and still nothing on my Serve Card. It's reassuring to know I'm not alone in this. I've been checking my account obsessively every few hours like it's going to magically appear. Based on what everyone else is sharing, it sounds like we just need to be patient for a few more days. The fact that your WMR shows "refund sent" is definitely a good sign - that means the holdup is on the Serve Card side, not the IRS. I'm going to follow your lead and call their customer service too. Fingers crossed we both see our money by Monday!

Wow, this is really encouraging to hear! I've been putting off calling about a question regarding my dependent care FSA contribution limits because I was dreading the typical IRS hold time nightmare. Your 2-minute wait experience is giving me serious hope that maybe they've actually turned things around. I remember in 2022 I waited almost 3 hours about a simple address change and nearly gave up twice. If this improved service is consistent, it would be such a relief for taxpayers who need quick answers during filing season. I think I'll finally bite the bullet and call them tomorrow morning about my FSA question. Thanks for sharing this positive experience - it's exactly the motivation I needed!
I'm so glad to see these positive experiences! As someone new to this community, I was honestly terrified about potentially needing to call the IRS. All the horror stories about multi-hour wait times had me convinced I'd need to take a full day off work just to ask a simple question. Hearing that they've actually improved their service this much is such a relief. I might finally call about my confusion over the child tax credit eligibility requirements instead of just guessing on my return. Thanks for sharing your experience - it's really reassuring for those of us who have been avoiding calling them!
This gives me so much hope! I've been avoiding calling the IRS for months about a notice I received regarding my 2022 return because I was dreading the wait time. Every time I thought about calling, I'd remember the stories of people waiting 2-3 hours just to get disconnected or transferred multiple times. Your 2-minute experience sounds almost too good to be true, but seeing all these other positive comments makes me think maybe they really have improved things. I'm definitely going to try calling this week - hopefully during one of those early morning slots that others mentioned. Thanks for sharing this encouraging update! It's exactly what I needed to hear to finally tackle this issue instead of continuing to put it off.

Hey! Just wanted to add my experience to help ease your mind - I went through this exact same thing about 6 months ago and nearly had a heart attack when I saw that $0! 😰 But like everyone else is saying, it's totally normal. In my case, the money showed up in my account exactly 4 days after the amount changed to zero. Ohio's system definitely does this regularly - I think it's just how they process the final approval before sending the funds. You're in good hands and should see that deposit very soon! 💰
Thank you so much for sharing your experience! It's really comforting to hear from someone who went through the exact same thing. I'm pretty new to dealing with tax refunds and all these system quirks, so when I saw that $0 I immediately thought the worst 😅 Really appreciate everyone in this community taking the time to explain what's actually happening - makes me feel so much better about the whole process!
Hey there! I totally understand the panic you're feeling right now - I went through the exact same thing earlier this year and was convinced something had gone horribly wrong! 😅 But everyone here is absolutely right - that $0 showing up is actually a GOOD sign, not a bad one. It means Ohio's system has finished processing your refund and is getting ready to release the funds. I know it seems backwards and super confusing (why would they show $0 if they're about to pay you??) but that's just how their system works. In my experience, once you see that zero, you're usually looking at about 3-5 business days before the money hits your account. Try not to stress too much - you should see that deposit very soon! 🙏

This is super helpful! I've been checking my WMR obsessively and my cycle code is 20250302 - so if I'm reading this right, I'm on daily updates? Still waiting for my 846 code to show up but at least now I know what to expect. Thanks for breaking this down in simple terms! 🙏
Exactly what @Freya said! I was checking my transcripts like 5 times a day until someone here recommended taxr.ai and it literally saved my sanity 😅 It predicted my refund date within 2 days of when I actually got it. For daily updaters like you, it's even more accurate since there's more data points to work with. Definitely worth the small fee to avoid the constant refresh anxiety!
Ayy another daily updater! 🙌 You're definitely in a good spot with that 20250302 cycle code. I had the same pattern last filing season and my 846 showed up on a Tuesday morning around 6:30am. The daily updates are clutch because you don't have to wait a whole week wondering what's happening. Just keep checking those transcripts every morning and you should see movement soon. Good luck! 🍀
This is exactly what I needed! Been stressing about my cycle code 20250205 for weeks thinking something was wrong. Now I understand I'm on weekly updates and need to check Thursday nights instead of obsessing over it daily like I have been 🤦♀️ The way you explained it makes so much more sense than all the other confusing posts I've read. Really appreciate you taking the time to break this down for everyone!

Great thread everyone! For anyone still struggling with the verification step, there's one more option that might help - if you didn't file taxes last year at all (maybe you were a dependent or didn't have income), you can often enter "0" or "Did not file" for your prior year AGI. Cash App and most tax software have specific options for first-time filers or people who didn't file the previous year. Just look for the "I didn't file last year" or similar option during the verification process. Also wanted to echo what others said about keeping your records this year - write down your AGI somewhere safe so you don't have this same problem next year! The AGI is on line 11 of your Form 1040 once you complete your return.

•This is such helpful advice! I wish I had known about the "didn't file last year" option earlier - I spent way too much time trying to track down old documents when I could have just selected that option. For anyone reading this who's in a similar boat, definitely try the $0 or "did not file" option first before going through all the hassle of getting transcripts or calling the IRS. It's the simplest solution and works for a lot of people who were dependents or just starting to file on their own. Thanks for sharing that tip about writing down the AGI too - I'm definitely going to save that info somewhere I can actually find it next year!

This is such a helpful thread! I'm in a similar situation as the original poster - first time filing on my own and had no idea Cash App even did taxes. Reading through everyone's solutions has been super enlightening. I'm curious though - for those who successfully used Cash App, how was the actual filing experience once you got past the verification hurdle? Like, was it user-friendly for someone who's never done their own taxes before? Did it walk you through everything step by step, or did you need to have some tax knowledge going in? Also wondering if anyone ran into any issues with more complex tax situations (like having multiple W-2s, student loan interest, etc.) or if Cash App is more suited for simple returns. Trying to decide if I should stick with Cash App or look at other free options like FreeTaxUSA.
