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 ā 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!

According to the TurboTax support forum (https://ttlc.intuit.com/), they've officially switched from SBTG to MetaBank for the 2024 tax season. Many users are reporting the same issue you're experiencing. The IRS Where's My Refund tool (https://www.irs.gov/refunds) should still show accurate information about your federal refund status regardless of which bank TurboTax is using as an intermediary. SoFi has a good reputation for processing government deposits quickly - their banking backend is actually operated by The Bancorp Bank, which handles millions of direct deposits daily. Just make sure your SoFi account number and routing number were entered correctly in your tax return.
I had this same issue and learned some things you should watch out for: ā¢ TurboTax switched from SBTG to MetaBank this year ā¢ The SBTG website won't work for 2024 TurboTax customers ā¢ The $25 fee refund is automatic but takes 5-7 business days ā¢ SoFi sometimes posts government deposits a day early ā¢ If you don't see it by March 25th, check that your account number is correct ā¢ TurboTax customer service wait times are 60+ minutes right now My refund eventually came through fine, but it was stressful not being able to track it through the process like previous years. Hopefully TurboTax improves this for next year!
IDK what youre refering to as my info is on SBTPG and now im scared i wont get my refund
@Luis Angel Pichardo No need to worry! Your situation is actually different from what the original poster described. The fact that you can see your information in SBTPG is a GOOD sign - it means your refund is properly in their system and being processed. The original poster was concerned because they COULDN T find'their info in SBTPG, whereas you CAN see yours. SBTPG Santa Barbara (Tax Products Group is the) bank that TurboTax and some other tax preparers use to process refunds and deduct any fees before sending the remainder to you. If you want to track your refund more precisely, I use taxr.ai to get my dates. It was pretty accurate for me. You can also check the IRS Where s "My'Refund tool for" official updates. Your refund is likely progressing normally through the system. The processing time can vary, but seeing your info in SBTPG means you re on'track!

Here's what worked for me after dealing with this for over a month: 1. Log out of your account completely 2. Clear your browser cache and cookies (as mentioned earlier) 3. Use a different browser or device to log back in 4. Before updating anything, go to your security settings and temporarily disable any two-factor authentication 5. Update your profile info 6. Immediately after updating, re-enable two-factor auth 7. Log out and log back in to verify changes stuck If that doesn't work, try accessing the site during off-peak hours (like super early morning). Sometimes the system gets overloaded and glitchy during busy times. Also, make sure you're using a secure, private internet connection. Public Wi-Fi can sometimes cause issues with sensitive info updates. If all else fails, you might need to request a manual review of your account. It's a pain, but sometimes it's the only way to get things sorted. Hope this helps! Let us know if you get it figured out.

ugh im so tired of the irs and there incompetence. we pay are taxes on time but when its time for them to pay us back suddenly everythings slow and 'processing' š
Preach! š It's always hurry up and wait with them.

Hey, former IRS employee here. The verification process can be frustrating, I know. One thing to keep in mind is that if there's any mismatch between the info you provided and what they have on file, it can slow things down significantly. Make sure all your addresses, SSNs, and reported incomes are 100% accurate. Also, if you filed by paper instead of electronically, that can add weeks to the process.
Zoey Bianchi
ā¢Any other pro tips from your time there? š
Aiden Chen
ā¢Always keep copies of EVERYTHING. And I mean everything. It'll save you so much hassle if there's ever an audit or discrepancy.

Whatever you do, DON'T fall for any scams. There are a lot of people out there pretending to be the IRS. Remember, the real IRS will never call you out of the blue demanding money or threatening to arrest you.
Paolo Marino
ā¢This! My grandma almost fell for one of those scams. It's scary how convincing they can be.

Question for the OP: How long have you had your payment plan? Sometimes if it's been a while, you might qualify for an offer in compromise to settle for less than you owe.

Pro tip: Always request a transcript of your account when dealing with IRS issues. It shows all transactions and can help you spot any discrepancies. You can get it online through their website.
