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!

Arizona state tax refund stuck since March - no movement for 2 months

Filed my Arizona state taxes in early March and got the acceptance notification right away. But the refund status has been showing the same message 'Your return is being processed' since March 15, 2025. It's been over 2 months with zero movement. The processing date on the website hasn't changed at all. Called the AZ Dept of Revenue three times but kept getting automated messages saying they're experiencing high call volumes. Anyone else dealing with this or know what's going on with Arizona state refunds? This is ridiculous - I'm owed $643 and there's no explanation for the delay.

Jamal Brown

Does anyone know what the "your return is being processed" status actually means? Is that code for something specific or just their generic status?

It's basically a catch-all that means "we have your return but haven't finished with it yet." Could mean it's in queue for processing, under review, flagged for verification, or just sitting in a pile waiting to be looked at. Totally useless status that tells you nothing helpful 🙄

I ended up contacting my state senator's office after waiting 3 months for my AZ refund. They have caseworkers who can reach out directly to the department of revenue. Had my refund within 2 weeks after they got involved. Don't waste time with the general customer service line.

Tax preparer charged me $1400 for federal but wants MORE for state filing - is this a scam?

I recently got my federal tax refund processed but now my tax preparer is saying they haven't prepared my state taxes yet and want another fee on top of the $1700 I already paid them. Is this normal? I thought the price they quoted me originally would cover both federal AND state filing. They never mentioned separate fees during our initial consultation. Has anyone else experienced something like this? What are my options at this point since they already have all my documents? Can I just get my paperwork back and file the state return myself?

Aria Khan

I'm actually a tax preparer (10+ years experience) and what they're doing is completely unethical. State returns are almost always included in the preparation fee, especially at that price point. The only exception might be if you live in one state but need to file in multiple states due to work situations, but even then they should have disclosed that upfront. You should report them to your state's board of accountancy and possibly the IRS depending on whether they're enrolled agents or not. This kind of bait-and-switch pricing hurts the whole profession.

You should be able to find the forms on your state's department of revenue website. Most state returns are pretty straightforward if you already have your federal return completed. You'll mainly need your federal AGI and any state-specific deductions or credits. If you run into specific questions, feel free to message me.

IRS refund scheduled for March 5 - will 5-day early deposit include weekends? (Head of Household)

Just checked my refund status on IRS2Go this morning. My refund is scheduled to be sent to my bank by March 5, 2025. If my refund is not credited to my account by March 10, 2025, I should check with my bank to see if it has been received. The IRS2Go app is showing all three status indicators filled in: Return Received, Refund Approved, and Refund Sent. I'm filing as Head of Household this year, and I paid for that 5-day early deposit feature with my tax filing software. The status just updated today (Monday) at around 11:49, and I can see the complete message that says "Your tax refund is scheduled to be sent to your bank by March 5, 2025. If your refund is not credited to your account by March 10, 2025, check with your bank to see if it has been received." There's also a note saying "Please Note: For refund information, please continue to check here, or visit the Refunds page on IRS.gov. Updates to refund status are made no more than once a day." So I'm trying to figure out when I'll actually get my money with this 5-day early deposit feature. Do weekends count for the 5-day early deposit calculation? Since the IRS says my refund will be sent by March 5 and to wait until March 10 before contacting my bank, I'm wondering if my early deposit feature means I could see it sooner than the 5th. Has anyone used this feature before with similar dates? Does Head of Household filing status affect the timing at all?

Fiona Gallagher

You can call your bank directly and ask them about their specific policy for the early deposit feature. Some count business days only, others count calendar days. The IRS message is completely separate from your bank's early deposit feature.

ID Verified for tax refund last week but verification status disappeared - when to expect 846 code?

I completed my ID verification for my tax refund on Monday, and I was super excited to see the "verified" status on the IRS website. But when I checked yesterday, that verification status completely disappeared! No trace of it anywhere. Does anyone know from experience how long it typically takes to get an 846 refund issued code after this happens? I've heard some people say about a week, but I'm getting anxious since the verification status vanished. Anyone else experience this and can share their timeline?

After fighting with the IRS for WEEKS about my verification, I finally broke down and used claimyr.com to get an agent on the phone. Literally had been trying to call for days with no luck. Got connected to an IRS rep within 90 minutes who confirmed my refund was being processed and would be deposited within the week. Best money I spent all year considering I was waiting on a refund of over $5k!

Code 570 on transcript - Will my $7,285 refund be delayed until March 17 or April 15, 2025?

I filed my tax return on January 28 this year and got accepted the same day. I was supposed to get a refund of $7,285 total. I've been checking the WMR tool every day but it still says processing. I decided to check my transcript today and noticed code 570 'Additional account action pending' with a date of March 17, 2025. Here's what my transcript shows: TOTAL SELF EMPLOYMENT TAX: 0.00 RETURN DUE DATE OR RETURN RECEIVED DATE (WHICHEVER IS LATER) Apr. 15, 2025 PROCESSING DATE Mar. 17, 2025 TRANSACTIONS CODE EXPLANATION OF TRANSACTION | CYCLE DATE | AMOUNT 150 Tax return filed | 20250903 03-17-2025 | $0.00 80211-440-42276-5 806 W-2 or 1099 withholding | 04-15-2025 | -$2,265.00 766 Credit to your account | 04-15-2025 | -$1,543.00 768 Earned income credit | 04-15-2025 | -$3,477.00 570 Additional account action pending | 03-17-2025 | $0.00 This Product Contains Sensitive Taxpayer Data I'm really confused about what's happening. My processing date shows as March 17, 2025. I also see codes for my W-2 withholding (-$2,265.00), some kind of credit (-$1,543.00), and my earned income credit (-$3,477.00). When I add these up, it's the $7,285 refund I was expecting. Does this 570 code mean my refund won't even be looked at until March 17th? That's still weeks away! I'm really counting on this money for some bills coming up and don't understand why it's taking so long when everyone else I know already got their refunds. Is there something wrong with my return? Should I call the IRS or just keep waiting? The cycle date says 20250903 - does that mean anything important?

Kingston Bellamy

I couldn't make sense of my transcript either after weeks of trying. Finally tried taxr.ai and it explained everything - had a similar hold code but also showed me exactly what was causing the delay and predicted when I'd get my refund (was accurate to within 2 days). Best money I ever spent after weeks of stress and uncertainty. It even showed me credits I didn't know I qualified for that I can claim next year!

Filed in February, verified identity with IRS, but March 2025 transcript shows "NO RETURN FILED" - what happened to my 2024 taxes?

I'm officially freaking out. I filed my 2024 taxes in early February (I file early every year) and received my accepted notification like normal. Last week I got a notice to verify my identity, which I did right away through the ID.me portal. Now when I check my transcript, it says "No tax return filed" and the account balance shows $0.00. I just pulled my Account Transcript from the IRS website today (March 2nd, 2025) and I'm horrified at what I'm seeing. The transcript literally says "RETURN NOT PRESENT FOR THIS ACCOUNT" and under transactions it simply states "No tax return filed". My account balance is $0.00, with $0.00 in accrued interest and $0.00 in accrued penalties as of March 4th, 2025. The transcript shows: FORM NUMBER: 1040 TAX PERIOD: 2024 ACCOUNT BALANCE: 0.00 ACCRUED INTEREST: 0.00 AS OF: Mar. 04, 2025 ACCRUED PENALTY: 0.00 AS OF: Mar. 04, 2025 ACCOUNT BALANCE PLUS ACCRUALS (this is not a payoff amount): 0.00 Under "INFORMATION FROM THE RETURN OR AS ADJUSTED" it shows: EXEMPTIONS: 00 FILING STATUS: Single ADJUSTED GROSS INCOME: [blank] TAXABLE INCOME: [blank] TAX PER RETURN: [blank] SE TAXABLE INCOME TAXPAYER: [blank] SE TAXABLE INCOME SPOUSE: [blank] TOTAL SELF EMPLOYMENT TAX: [blank] And then in big letters: "RETURN NOT PRESENT FOR THIS ACCOUNT" The TRANSACTIONS section just says: CODE EXPLANATION OF TRANSACTION CYCLE DATE AMOUNT No tax return filed I've been trying to reach someone at the IRS but spent over an hour going through their automated system yesterday and was never transferred to an actual person. This has never happened before in all my years filing. I always get my refund by now but there's literally nothing showing on my account transcript except what I pasted above. Has anyone dealt with this after identity verification? Is my return lost in the system or what? The request date and response date on the transcript are both 03-02-2025, with a tracking number assigned, so they clearly have some record of me, but somehow my tax return has vanished!

Natalia Stone

Pro tip: While you're waiting for your identity verification to process, create an account on ID.me if you haven't already. This will allow you to access your transcripts online anytime. When your return does start processing again, you'll see updates there first before anywhere else.

After dealing with a similar issue, I finally got through to an actual IRS representative using Claimyr (claimyr.com).

Completely worth it to finally get a straight answer from a real person instead of the automated system runaround. The uncertainty was killing me before that.

WMR refund progress bar disappeared and showing "processing" with code 570 "Additional account action pending" on transcript - $6,385 refund on hold

I checked my Where's My Refund tool yesterday and noticed something weird. The path that showed my refund progress is completely gone now and it just says 'processing'. I filed my taxes in mid-February and everything was moving along fine until this change. Looking at my transcript, I can see all the details that worry me: ** INFORMATION FROM THE RETURN OR AS ADJUSTED EXEMPTIONS: 04 FILING STATUS: Married Filing Joint ADJUSTED GROSS INCOME: $46,309.00 TAXABLE INCOME: $17,109.00 TAX PER RETURN: $0.00 SE TAXABLE INCOME TAXPAYER: $0.00 SE TAXABLE INCOME SPOUSE: $0.00 TOTAL SELF EMPLOYMENT TAX: $0.00 RETURN DUE DATE OR RETURN RECEIVED DATE (WHICHEVER IS LATER) Apr. 15, 2025 PROCESSING DATE Mar. 03, 2025 TRANSACTIONS CODE EXPLANATION OF TRANSACTION CYCLE DATE AMOUNT 150 Tax return filed 20250705 03-03-2025 $0.00 30211-429-92115-5 806 W-2 or 1099 withholding 04-15-2025 -$1,052.00 766 Credit to your account 04-16-2025 -$887.00 768 Earned income credit 04-17-2025 -$4,446.00 570 Additional account action pending 03-03-2025 $0.00 This Product Contains Sensitive Taxpayer Data My transcript clearly shows codes 150, 806, 766, 768, and 570 (Additional account action pending) as of May 12, 2025. I'm supposed to get about $5,200 back between my withholding ($1,052), tax credits ($887) and EIC ($4,446), which totals around $6,385. The most concerning thing is the code 570 "Additional account action pending" dated 03-03-2025. There's no code 971 or 846 following it, which I understand would indicate further explanation or a refund issued. Anyone know what this change on WMR means? The fact that my progress bar disappeared completely and now just says "processing" has me worried. Is this a good sign that they're finally moving forward with my refund, or should I be concerned? We're really counting on this money for some upcoming expenses.

Maya Diaz

Sometimes the WMR tool glitches out when they're updating their systems. Try clearing your browser cache or using a different device to check again. Also, if you have access to your transcript, that's always more accurate than WMR.

IRS Online Account "Partial Outage" for 2+ Days - Can't Check Refund Status While Payment Feature Still Works

I was trying to check my tax refund status this morning by logging into my online IRS account, but I keep getting this annoying message about a 'partial outage' and I can't access my account balance or payment history. When I log in to sa.www4.irs.gov, I immediately see a notification box with: "Account Status i Account Features Limited Due to Partial Outage While you can still access your account, some features are unavailable, including Account Balance and Payment History. If you don't see what you need, please come back later." And of course, there's a big "Payments" button with "MAKE A PAYMENT" option still fully functional (lol, of course that feature works). They make sure I can still give them money, but I can't see what I need to see. I've been trying for the past 2 days and keep getting the same message. Has anyone else experienced this or know when it might be fixed? Is there another way to check my balance and payment history during this outage? I really need to confirm my refund status, but with the Account Balance and Payment History features unavailable, I'm completely stuck.

Oliver Alexander

I check my transcript weekly and the IRS site goes down constantly. It's especially bad during tax season (Jan-April) and again in July/August when they do system updates. Your best bet is to either wait it out or use one of those transcript analysis tools like taxr.ai that can help you make sense of everything when the site comes back up.

Mailed my 2022 tax return in March - 'No Record' on Where's My Refund after 7 weeks

So I had to mail in my tax return this year because of some ID verification issues with e-filing. Sent it through certified mail on March 12th and got delivery confirmation on March 15th. It's now May 5th and when I check Where's My Refund, it still shows 'No Record of Return Filed.' I'm getting worried because it's been over 7 weeks. I called the IRS a couple times but can't get through to a person. Has anyone else experienced this? How long should I expect to wait before it shows up in their system? My refund is around $3,200 so I'm really counting on it.

Anyone know when IRS will release my refund? Stuck on 'still being processed' for 9 weeks

I e-filed my 2024 taxes around the middle of March. Got accepted right away, and when I checked the Where's My Refund tool a couple days later it said my return was received. But for the past 9 weeks it's just been saying "Your tax return is still being processed. A refund date will be provided when available." No explanation, no errors, nothing. The amount was pretty significant - around $3,400 - since I had a kid last year and qualified for some extra credits. I've tried calling but can never get through to a real person. Checked my transcript online but don't understand all those codes. Anyone else stuck in this limbo? Any idea when I might actually see this money? Starting to get worried something's wrong.
