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!

Sometimes a refund can be delayed even with a deposit date if: 1. You have past due federal or state debts 2. You owe back child support 3. You have outstanding student loans 4. There's a bank account issue Any of these apply to you?

I found a solution for this! Used claimyr.com to get through to an IRS agent last month. They navigated all the phone menus and got me connected to a real person who finally resolved my issue from 2022. After months of trying to call myself with no luck, I had an actual conversation with the IRS in less than an hour!

After struggling with this same issue, I finally got through to the IRS using Claimyr (claimyr.com) and found out my refund was actually on hold due to a verification issue that TPG never told me about. Talking directly to an IRS rep solved my problem immediately. They released my refund that day and I got my money 48 hours later. I've never been able to get through to the IRS phone lines before, so this was a game changer.

Aisha Mahmood

The IRS can see more details about your overall refund status, including when they sent the money to TPG and if there were any flags or holds. In my case, there was a verification flag that needed to be cleared before TPG could process it, but TPG never bothered to tell me that.

Saved my sanity last year with a similar situation. After weeks of TPG giving me the runaround, one 15-minute call with an actual IRS person fixed everything. TPG magically processed my refund the next day.

Yuki Kobayashi

Hey everyone, I work at a bank (not saying which one). When TPG shows "funded" it means they have received your refund from the IRS, but they still need to process it on their end. They batch process payments, usually at the end of the day. If your refund hit TPG on a Friday afternoon, it might not be processed until Monday or Tuesday. Then it takes 1-2 business days for ACH transfers to complete. So realistically, you're looking at 3-5 business days AFTER the funded status appears.

Thanks for explaining this. Do you know if banks process these deposits on weekends or only business days?

Most banks only process ACH transfers (which is what TPG uses) on business days. Some banks might show pending deposits on weekends, but they won't actually post to your account until the next business day. Hope that helps!

FWIW some refunds are being held because of the backlog from the government shutdown threat last year. Not saying that's your situation but just one more possibility. I'm in a similar boat - 2022 return still not processed fully. It's criminal how they treat us.

E-filed on 3/10 but IRS transcript shows "No tax return filed" after 9 days - 2024 return showing future dates?

I e-filed my tax return on March 10th (about 9 days ago) but when I checked my transcript today it still looks completely empty. I just ran my Account Transcript and I'm pretty concerned with what I'm seeing. The transcript is dated: Request Date: 02-25-2025 Response Date: 02-24-2025 It clearly shows: FORM NUMBER: 1040 TAX PERIOD: Dec. 31, 2024 ACCOUNT BALANCE: 0.00 ACCRUED INTEREST: 0.00 AS OF: Mar. 17, 2025 ACCRUED PENALTY: 0.00 AS OF: Mar. 17, 2025 ACCOUNT BALANCE PLUS ACCRUALS (this is not a payoff amount): 0.00 Under the "INFORMATION FROM THE RETURN OR AS ADJUSTED" section: EXEMPTIONS: 00 FILING STATUS: Head of Household 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 it says "RETURN NOT PRESENT FOR THIS ACCOUNT" And under TRANSACTIONS: CODE | EXPLANATION OF TRANSACTION | CYCLE | DATE | AMOUNT It literally just says "No tax return filed" There's nothing else on there - no codes, no dates, no processing information. Just says "No tax return filed" under the transactions section. Is this normal for only being 9 days out? When should I expect to see some movement? This is making me nervous since I'm expecting a decent refund this year. I've heard the IRS is usually pretty quick with accepting returns electronically. Thanks for any insights!

Ravi Choudhury

Your transcript will show a 150 code when your return has been processed and entered into the system. Until then, it will look empty. Most returns are taking about 15-20 days for that first code to appear from what I've seen on this sub. Don't panic yet!

IRS Changed My Refund to Paper Check Despite Correct Banking Info - Won't Mail Until February 28, 2025

Just checked the Where's My Refund tool and found out the IRS is mailing me a paper check instead of doing direct deposit like I requested. Banking info I entered was 100% correct - I triple checked it before filing. The tool is showing: "Refund Status Results Return Received βœ“ Refund Approved βœ“ Refund Sent βœ“ Your request to have your tax refund direct deposited couldn't be fulfilled. Instead, we are sending a check to the address on your tax return. Your tax refund is scheduled to be mailed by February 27, 2025. If you do not receive the refund by March 29, 2025, please contact us again. We are unable to take any action until then." Has anyone else gotten this message from the IRS? My refund is supposed to be mailed by February 27, 2025, but I won't be able to contact them until March 29, 2025 if I don't receive it. I was counting on getting this money faster through direct deposit since I've got some bills coming due. The tool also notes "For refund information, please continue to check here, or use our free mobile app, IRS2Go. Updates to refund status are made no more than once a day." Really frustrating since I filed early (mid-March) specifically to avoid delays. I triple-checked my banking information before submitting, so I have no idea why they're defaulting to a paper check. Now I have to wait over a month longer than expected. Has anyone had success contacting them before their stated timeframe? Or know why this happens even when the banking info is correct?

Ethan Wilson

This happened to me earlier this year despite having used the exact same bank account for direct deposit for the past 6 years! I called the IRS endlessly trying to figure out why, but couldn't get through to a human. Finally used that Claimyr app everyone talks about (claimyr.com) and got a live person on the phone who explained my bank actually rejected the deposit because it was over their ACH transfer limit! I had no idea banks could do that. Would have been lost without talking to an actual agent.

IRS Accepted Return on March 1st But Transcript Completely Empty After 6 Weeks - "Refund Status Now Available" Notification Shows Nothing

I filed my return back on March 1st and got the acceptance notification from the IRS within 48 hours. It's been 6 weeks now and I still can't see ANY information on my transcript. I keep checking the IRS website (sa.www4.irs.gov) and it's driving me crazy. When I log into my account, the only thing showing up is a notification that says "Refund Status Now Available" under the Notifications section where it shows "1 Unread" message. But when I click on it, there's absolutely nothing there. It just says "Check your refund status for up to the three most recent tax years" but doesn't actually show my refund status. My account page clearly displays the "Payments" section with options for "MAKE A PAYMENT," "View Payment Options," and "View Payment Activity" but nothing about my return processing. The "Records and Status" section shows "Information Return Documents to assist in filing your returns" and "View Tax Records for: Key information from your most recent tax return" and "Downloadable transcripts and Tax" but when I try to access them, the transcript is completely blank. I've tried checking "Where's My Refund" and all it says is that my return has been received and is being processed. No dates, no timeline, nothing. Just that vague message. This is driving me insane because I'm counting on this refund. The battery on my phone was at 18% while I was desperately refreshing the page yet again today at 5:28. Has anyone else had this happen? How long did it take for your transcript to actually show something? I'm getting really worried that something went wrong with my filing.

NightOwl42

Not to freak you out but have you checked if someone filed a return using your SSN? My friend had this happen to him last year - his transcript was blank but it turns out someone had already filed a fraudulent return with his info early in the season. Might be worth checking your credit report just to be safe.

NightOwl42

He finally got through to the IRS and they told him. But don't panic - if you got an acceptance notification for YOUR return, that means the IRS accepted it under your SSN, so probably not identity theft. My friend never got an acceptance, his return was rejected.

Code 570 on Transcript: $9,514 Refund ($7,234 EIC) Pending Additional Action - Head of Household with 5 Exemptions

I filed my taxes in mid-February and I'm supposed to get a refund of $9,514.00. I checked my transcript today (March 10) and I see a 570 code that says "Additional account action pending". I'm worried because this is a lot of money for me - I claimed Head of Household with 5 exemptions and the earned income credit. When I look at my transcript, here's exactly what I'm seeing: Account Transcript FORM NUMBER: 1040 TAX PERIOD: Dec. 31 ACCOUNT BALANCE: -$9,514.00 ACCRUED INTEREST: $0.00 AS OF: Mar. 10, 2025 ACCRUED PENALTY: $0.00 AS OF: Mar. 10, 2025 ACCOUNT BALANCE PLUS ACCRUALS (this is not a payoff amount): -$9,514.00 ** INFORMATION FROM THE RETURN OR AS ADJUSTED ** EXEMPTIONS: 05 FILING STATUS: Head of Household ADJUSTED GROSS INCOME: $16,091.00 TAXABLE INCOME: $0.00 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. 10, 2025 TRANSACTIONS CODE EXPLANATION OF TRANSACTION CYCLE DATE AMOUNT 150 Tax return filed 20250805 03-10-2025 $0.00 76221-431-04135-5 806 W-2 or 1099 withholding 04-16-2025 -$241.00 766 Credit to your account 04-16-2025 -$2,039.00 768 Earned income credit 04-16-2025 -$7,234.00 570 Additional account action pending 03-10-2025 $0.00 My transcript shows my return was processed on March 10 but there's no direct deposit date. My withholding was only $241.00 but I qualified for $2,039.00 in credits plus $7,234.00 for earned income credit. I'm especially concerned about that 570 code showing "Additional account action pending" with $0.00 amount. Has anyone dealt with this 570 code before? Not sure if this means my refund is gonna be delayed or if there's a problem with my return. I really need this money soon. My AGI is only $16,091.00 and I'm counting on this refund.

I used to freak out about these codes until I realized how common they are. Last year had 570, got my refund 3 weeks later with no contact from IRS. Year before had 420 examination code, got a letter, sent in docs, and still got full refund. Their system flags things automatically - try not to panic.

I got the 507 code last year and waited 60 days with no movement. Finally I just decided to call the IRS directly. After three days of trying, I couldn't get through so I used claimyr.com to get a callback. The agent was able to tell me exactly what was wrong (a mismatch with my employer's reporting) and released my refund on the spot. Got it 8 days later. Sometimes you just need to talk to a human.
