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!

Dont count on it being early. But if it helps, I've used PayPal for 3 years now and it's always been either on the exact DDD or 1 day before. Never later than the DDD.

If your waiting on money you really need, use claimyr.com to get through to the IRS. I had a similar situation with my refund going to PayPal and it wasn't showing up. Was able to talk to an agent who pushed it through manually. Without them I'd still be waiting!

IRS holding refund with 570/971 codes after missing W2s were found - will 60-day review resolve automatically once wages updated from $27,450 to $30,100?

I filed my taxes back in February and have been checking my transcript every week. At first I was confused because my wages weren't showing correctly on the IRS website. I called my employer who said they'd resubmit my W2s. Recently my wages on the IRS website finally updated, but now I have 570 and 971 codes on my transcript. When I check my IRS account, I can see a notice dated 03/03/2025 saying they're holding my refund for review. The IRS website shows a notice with the heading "We're Holding Your Refund" and it specifically states "We're holding your refund until we finish reviewing your tax return. We need to verify one or more of the following: income, income tax withholding, tax credits, or business income." The notice has a "View notice [PDF]" option, and there's also information that says "Get answers to your questions" and "View Understanding Your IRS Notice or Letter or call the number on the PDF notice." There's also a section that says "To Report an Error with Your Notice" followed by "View the Online Account Frequently Asked." Apparently I'm on a 60 day review now. I just realized I forgot to include 2 W2s when I filed - I reported $27,450 but the IRS now shows $30,100. Will everything fix itself now that the correct wages are showing? Will they just give me the difference for the extra withholding on those W2s I forgot? Not sure what to do next. Should I call the number on the PDF notice as mentioned on the IRS website? Has anyone dealt with this "We're Holding Your Refund" notice before when they had missing W2s? I'm worried because this notice is specifically saying they need to verify income, which is exactly my issue.

Alicia Stern

You should file an amended return (1040X) to correctly report those missing W2s. Even though the IRS has the information, it's still technically your responsibility to report everything accurately. This might speed up the process rather than waiting for their review.

DO NOT do this! Filing an amended return while they're already reviewing your original return will cause more delays and confusion. When they have a 570/971 situation, let them finish their process first.

OK so this is probly not what u want to hear but sometimes they do "random verification" and dont tell u. I had exact same situation last year and when I FINALLY got someone on phone after 3 weeks of trying, they said my refund was selected for random review but system never sent me notice. Got my $ like 2 days after that call.

Pro tip: the phone number on the IRS website is basically useless. Call 877-777-4778 instead. It's for the Taxpayer Advocate Service. They're way more helpful and can actually see what's going on with your refund. I spent 2 weeks trying the regular number with no luck, then got through on this one in 20 minutes.

I know everyone's saying call, but honestly the IRS is so backed up right now you'll probably just get your refund before you can even reach someone. I had a 570 back in January, never called, and my refund magically appeared in April. The system is broken but eventually works...sometimes...

Just a thought - with that Earned Income Credit amount, do you have dependents? Make sure nobody else (like an ex) claimed the same dependents on their return. That's a common reason for 570 holds on returns with EIC. The IRS has to determine who has the right to claim them.

IRS Transcript Shows Code 570 "Additional Account Action Pending" - March 2025 Refund Delayed

I filed my taxes back in early February and got the acceptance notice a few days later. I was expecting my refund by the beginning of March but nothing came through so I decided to check my transcript. When I finally got access to my transcript (took forever with the ID verification), I saw something concerning. Looking at my transcript dated Mar. 17, 2025, I see the following: TRANSACTIONS CODE EXPLANATION OF TRANSACTION CYCLE DATE AMOUNT 150 Tax return filed 20250905 03-17-2025 $5,617.00 30205-436-07544-5 806 W-2 or 1099 withholding 04-15-2025 -$3,240.00 430 Estimated tax payment 07-16-2024 -$1,533.57 430 Estimated tax payment 10-16-2024 -$1,593.17 971 Notice issued 03-17-2025 $0.00 570 Additional account action pending 03-17-2025 $0.00 It shows code 570 "Additional account action pending" dated March 17, 2025. Right above it is code 971 "Notice issued" with the same date. My withholding shows -$3,240.00 and I made two quarterly estimated tax payments last year (-$1,533.57 in July and -$1,593.17 in October). My total tax was $5,617.00 according to code 150. Does this mean my refund is being held? Will they need to verify something? I'm getting worried since I was counting on this money for some repairs I need to make on my house. The transcript says "This Product Contains Sensitive Taxpayer Data" at the bottom, and I accessed it through sa.www4.irs.gov. Anyone know what these codes mean or how long it might take to resolve? I'm especially concerned about the 570 code and what kind of "additional account action" they're doing. Should I be expecting a letter in the mail explaining this?

Zara Rashid

Do NOT wait on the notice! Sometimes they never send it or it gets lost in the mail. Be proactive! Get someone on the phone who can tell you exactly what's going on. I spent months waiting for a notice that never came.

Definitely check your transcripts - it has way more detailed info than the WMR tool. Most likely they adjusted your Premium Tax Credit based on the 1095-A you submitted, which would explain why they closed the return (processing complete) rather than sending it for further review. Unless there are other issues, your refund (possibly adjusted) should be issued soon.

My return was "closed" last year and it was honestly just a glitch in their system. Called them and they said everything was fine and my refund was being processed normally. Got it about 3 weeks later. The WMR tool is super unreliable.

Each year the IRS gets worse. They're critically underfunded and understaffed, with ancient computer systems that barely function. Your return is probably just sitting in a digital queue waiting to be processed. The acceptance notification means they received it, but they may not have even looked at it yet. As long as you have proof you filed (like the acceptance confirmation), you're protected even if they somehow lose it.

Keisha Taylor

Try logging into your IRS online account and checking your tax records there rather than just using the Where's My Refund tool. Sometimes your transcript will show processing activity even when WMR shows nothing. Also, with the multiple W-2s, they might be doing income matching which can take extra time.

Hmm, that's frustrating for sure. But as others have said, as long as you got the acceptance notification you should be fine. Their systems are just extremely backed up. Give it another week or two before worrying.

IRS claims my 2024 tax refund was deposited February 25th but nothing in account by March 4th - bank says they can't help

I filed my taxes as Head of Household for 2024 early this year and I'm having an issue with my refund. I just checked the IRS "Where's My Refund" tool again and I'm looking at the screen right now that shows: Refund Status Results Return Received āœ“ Refund Approved āœ“ Refund Sent āœ“ The page clearly states "Your refund was sent to your bank on February 25, 2025 for direct deposit." It also says "If your refund is not credited to your account by March 02, 2025, check with your bank to find out if it has been received." Under "Your personal tax information" it shows: Tax Year: 2024 Filing Status: Head of household Deposit date: February 25, 2025 The problem is that it's already March 4th, which is two days past the "check with your bank" date, and the money still hasn't shown up in my account. I've already contacted my bank as the IRS website suggested, but they're basically saying they can't help with anything tax related. They claim they don't see any pending deposits or rejected transactions related to my tax refund. I'm really frustrated because all three checkmarks are completed on the IRS website (Return Received, Refund Approved, Refund Sent), but the money is nowhere to be found. I was counting on this refund to pay some bills that are coming due. Has anyone else experienced this delay between the IRS claiming they sent the refund and it actually appearing in your account? What do I do now? Do I call the IRS directly, or should I keep waiting longer? Is there a specific department at the bank I should be talking to? I feel like I'm getting the runaround from everyone.

Instead of spending weeks trying to guess what's happening with your refund, I highly recommend just using taxr.ai - it saved me SO much stress when I was in your exact situation. It analyzes your actual IRS transcript data and tells you exactly what's happening with your refund, whether there are any holds or issues, and gives you a more accurate timeline than the WMR tool. I was waiting for weeks with the same message you got, and taxr.ai showed me there was actually a review happening that the WMR tool wasn't showing. Totally worth checking out at https://taxr.ai

Have you ever tried to read an IRS transcript? It's like a foreign language with all the codes and dates that make zero sense unless you're a tax pro. taxr.ai translates everything into simple English, identifies issues the WMR tool doesn't show, and gives you specific next steps. Sure, you could spend hours researching all the codes yourself, but this does it instantly and accurately. Saved me days of stress and confusion when my refund was stuck.

The IRS refund status tool is a joke. It could say "refund sent" for weeks before anything actually happens. Your best bet is to call them directly, but good luck getting through their phone lines. The whole system is designed to be frustrating.

When you've been waiting weeks for a refund that's thousands of dollars, spending a little to actually get answers and fix the problem immediately is totally worth it. I wasted so much time trying to call myself and never got through. This way I fixed my issue in one day instead of waiting weeks more.

The dates on IRS transcripts are incredibly confusing. After dealing with this for years, I finally found a tool that makes sense of everything - taxr.ai analyzes your entire transcript and explains each code, date, and what's actually happening with your return. It even predicts when you'll likely get your refund based on similar cases. Saved me so much time and stress from trying to figure it all out myself!

Filed 2/15, amended 2/17, transcript shows 4/15 credit dates, 1/31 amendment dates, and -$3,410 balance but still no refund

Can someone explain why my transcript dates are so confusing? I filed my return on 2/15 and got an acceptance notice on 2/16. I realized I made a small error that affected my refund by about $120, so I submitted an amended return on 2/17 which was accepted on 2/19. When I checked my transcript today (Mar. 17, 2025), it shows an ACCOUNT BALANCE of -$3,410.00 with ACCRUED INTEREST: $0.00 and ACCRUED PENALTY: $0.00. The ACCOUNT BALANCE PLUS ACCRUALS shows -$3,410.00, which should be my refund amount. My transcript shows these details from my return: FILING STATUS: Head of Household EXEMPTIONS: 02 TAX PER RETURN: $0.00 RETURN DUE DATE OR RETURN RECEIVED DATE: Apr. 15, 2025 PROCESSING DATE: Feb. 24, 2025 The TRANSACTIONS section has me totally confused: CODE EXPLANATION OF TRANSACTION | CYCLE | DATE | AMOUNT 150 Tax return filed | 20250605 | 02-24-2025 | $0.00 30211-429-63730-5 806 W-2 or 1099 withholding | | 04-15-2025 | -$727.00 766 Credit to your account | | 04-15-2025 | -$663.00 971 Amended tax return or claim forwarded for processing | | 01-31-2025 | $0.00 977 Amended return filed | | 01-31-2025 | $0.00 33277-436-03755-5 768 Earned income credit | | 04-15-2025 | -$2,020.00 I'm confused because my transcript shows a processing date of Feb. 24, but then credits dated 04-15-2025, which is almost two months later. And even stranger, it shows the amended return (codes 971 and 977) as filed on 01-31-2025, which is before I even submitted it! It seems like nothing has happened since I checked. The total credits add up to my expected refund (-$727.00 for withholding, -$663.00 for some credit, and -$2,020.00 for earned income credit), but why do they all show future dates of 04-15-2025? Does anyone know what these different dates mean or when I might actually receive my refund? I'm getting frustrated waiting and can't figure out what's going on from these random dates that don't match up with when I actually filed.

I was so confused by these transcripts last year that I actually broke down crying trying to figure out what was happening with my money. This year I used taxr.ai and it explained everything in simple terms. It was like night and day difference - suddenly I could understand exactly what was happening with my refund instead of staring at meaningless codes! https://taxr.ai

After 2 months of waiting for my amended return to process, I finally gave up and used claimyr.com to get a real person on the phone. The agent told me there was a small issue they needed to verify that wasn't being communicated anywhere on my transcript. Got it resolved in one call and my refund was deposited a week later. Sometimes you just need to talk to an actual human to get things moving.
