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!

To all those having trouble reaching a human at IRS. I just ran across this video that gave me a shortcut to reach a human. Hope it helps! https://youtu.be/_kiP6q8DX5c
I've been waiting 28 weeks now with the same code 971 on my transcript! It's so frustrating not knowing what's happening. I called the multiple times but they just keep saying "it's being processed" with no real timeline. Has anyone actually gotten through to someone who could give more specific info about why it's taking so long? At this point I'm wondering if there's an issue with my that I don't know about.
28 weeks is absolutely insane! I'm only at 12 weeks and already going crazy 😤 Have you tried that taxr.ai thing everyone's mentioning? Sounds like it might give you more insight into what's actually causing the delay rather than the generic "it's " response from phone reps. At least then you'd know if there's a specific issue or if you're just stuck in the normal backlog hell

The r/TruistBank community has a pinned thread about this exact issue. According to multiple reports there, Truist has never released IRS refunds early in the last three tax seasons. The IRS Where's My Refund tool (https://www.irs.gov/refunds) will show the official DDD, but according to community data, Truist customers should always plan for that exact date. Some users reported that deposits sometimes don't appear until late afternoon on the DDD, so don't panic if you don't see it first thing in the morning.
Thanks for all the detailed responses! As someone new to tracking tax refunds this closely, this has been incredibly helpful. It sounds like Truist is pretty much locked into their exact DDD policy with no wiggle room. I appreciate the specific references to their internal policies and regulations - that gives me the confidence I need to plan my business cash flow knowing the funds will arrive exactly on 2/28, not before. The suggestion about maintaining accounts at different banks for different purposes is interesting too, though probably overkill for my situation. I'll definitely bookmark that r/TruistBank thread for future reference!
Welcome to the community! It's great to see how thorough everyone has been with their responses. As someone who's also dealt with the uncertainty of deposit timing, I can definitely relate to wanting that precision for business planning. One thing I'd add is that it might be worth setting up account alerts with Truist so you get notified the moment the deposit hits - that way you don't have to keep checking manually on 2/28. Also, if this is a recurring need for your business, you might want to document this timing pattern for future tax seasons. The consistency everyone's mentioned actually makes Truist pretty predictable, which can be valuable for planning purposes even if they don't offer early deposits.

I'm dealing with the exact same situation! Got my 570 code about 10 days ago with a similar refund amount ($7,200). Like others have mentioned, it seems like larger refunds with child tax credits and education expenses automatically trigger these reviews. What's helped me stay sane is understanding that the 570 code without a 971 code usually means they're just doing an internal verification and don't need anything from you. The hardest part is just the waiting and not knowing exactly when it'll resolve. One thing I've learned from this thread is to check my transcript every Friday morning since my cycle code ends in 05. I've also been keeping an eye out for any mail from the IRS, though it sounds like if they needed additional documentation, we would have seen a 971 code by now. Hang in there! Based on everyone's experiences here, it seems like 4-8 weeks is pretty typical for these reviews to complete. I know it's frustrating when you're counting on that money, but at least we know this is a common process and not necessarily a sign that anything is wrong with our returns.
This is so helpful to read! I'm in almost the exact same boat - filed early February, got the 570 code recently, and my refund is about $6,900. I also claimed education credits for the first time and have child tax credits, so it sounds like we're all hitting the same review triggers. The Friday check schedule is a great tip - I didn't know about the cycle codes! It's oddly comforting to know this is such a common experience, even though the waiting is brutal when you have bills piling up. Thanks for sharing your timeline and keeping everyone updated on what to expect.
I went through this exact same situation last year with a $7,400 refund that included child tax credits and education expenses. The 570 code appeared on my transcript in early March and I was freaking out because I really needed that money for some home repairs. What helped me was understanding that the 570 code without a 971 code is actually a good sign - it means they're doing an internal review and likely don't need any additional documentation from you. The date you see (03-03-2025) isn't when something will happen, it's just part of their internal processing cycle. My timeline was: 570 code appeared March 8th, transcript updated every Friday (I had a 05 cycle code too), and then on April 19th I suddenly had a 571 code which released the hold and my refund was deposited 3 days later. Total time was about 6 weeks from when the 570 appeared. The hardest part is just the waiting and uncertainty, but based on your situation (first time claiming your daughter after divorce + education credits), this is pretty standard verification. Keep checking your transcript on Friday mornings and try to be patient. I know it's easier said than done when bills are piling up, but the refund will come through!
Thank you so much for sharing your timeline! This is exactly what I needed to hear. 6 weeks feels manageable when you put it that way, and knowing that the 570 without 971 is actually a good sign really helps calm my nerves. I've been checking daily but I'll switch to just Fridays like you suggested. It's reassuring to know that even though this feels scary, it's actually a pretty routine process for situations like mine. I really appreciate you taking the time to break down your experience - it gives me hope that this will resolve soon!

Cycle code 0503 gang! 🙋♀️ Just wanted to jump in and say thanks to everyone sharing info here - this community has been a lifesaver during tax season. Been seeing a lot of mentions about taxr.ai and honestly thinking about giving it a shot since manually checking transcripts every week is getting old fast. Hope everyone gets their refunds soon! 🤞
Same here! This community has been amazing for helping decode all this IRS stuff. I'm also 0503 and was going crazy trying to figure out what everything meant on my transcript. Definitely thinking about trying taxr.ai too since everyone seems to have good things to say about it. The weekly transcript checking is exhausting lol. Fingers crossed we all get good news soon! 🤞✨
Cycle code 0503 crew checking in! 👋 I was in the same exact boat a few weeks ago - completely lost trying to decode my transcript. From what I've learned, 0503 means your return gets processed on Wednesdays and updates typically show up Thursday nights/Friday mornings. The good news is it means your return is actively in the system and moving through processing! I ended up using taxr.ai after seeing all the recommendations here and it was honestly a game changer - gave me peace of mind knowing exactly where I stood instead of constantly refreshing and guessing. Hang in there, the wait is brutal but you're definitely making progress! 💪

I'm in the exact same situation! Filed my 2023 return in April and it's still showing "being processed" on Where's My Refund. Really stressing about whether I should file 2024 on time or wait. Thanks for asking this question - the answers here are super helpful! 🙏

•Same here! Filed in March 2023 and still waiting. At least we know we can file 2024 on time without any issues. This whole situation is so frustrating but glad we're not alone in this 😤

This is actually pretty common right now - the IRS has been super backed up since COVID and some 2023 returns are still being processed. I had the same worry but went ahead and filed my 2024 return on time. As others mentioned, each tax year is separate so you're totally fine to file. Just use the exact amounts from your original 2023 filing, not any estimated adjustments. The key is to not let the delayed 2023 processing make you miss the 2024 deadline!
