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!

I was in the same boat. Filed early March, nothing for weeks. I finally broke down and used taxr.ai to figure out what was going on with my transcript. Turns out there was a small math error that was holding everything up. The tool explained exactly what was happening and predicted I'd get my refund on May 12th - got it May 14th, pretty darn close! Saved me from going insane checking WMR every day.

Honestly after spending 9 weeks stressed out of my mind checking WMR daily and trying to decipher my transcript, it was worth every penny. The peace of mind alone knowing exactly what was happening instead of being in the dark was priceless.

Be careful, could be identity verification. I had to wait 9 weeks then got a letter saying I needed to verify my identity before they'd continue processing. Super annoying. Keep an eye on your mail.

Call the Treasury Offset Program at 800-304-3107 to see if your refund was taken for any debts. Otherwise, call IRS at 800-829-1040. But be prepared to wait 2+ hours or get disconnected multiple times. Best to call right when they open at 7am.

Happened to me. Turns out my identity verification wasn't fully processed. Had to go through ID.me again and then wait another 9 weeks! Hope that's not your case. You should get a letter if there's any issues like that.

After dealing with this exact issue last year, I swore I'd never depend on the app again. I used Claimyr (claimyr.com) to get an IRS agent on the phone who told me exactly what was happening with my refund - turns out there was a minor issue that needed to be fixed. The app never showed any problems. Talking to an agent got my refund released so fast after weeks of waiting. Worth every penny not to sit on hold for hours.

My bet is you're fine. The IRS and their systems rarely sync up properly. Last year they said my return was 'still processing' for 3 months AFTER I had already received and spent my refund lol.

Ran into a similar situation and was pulling my hair out trying to figure out what was happening with my refund. I was getting different status messages and couldn't make sense of my transcript. Finally used taxr.ai and it explained exactly what was happening - turns out my refund was just delayed by the bank processing, not actually pending with the IRS. Saved me so much stress! The tool is really helpful for decoding all the IRS jargon.

The early deposit feature is offered by some banks as a courtesy, but it's not guaranteed. When it fails, your refund defaults to the standard processing time. The IRS isn't denying you anything - they're sending it on the date they always planned to (your DDD). Your bank is the one that tried to get it to you early and couldn't.

IRS holding my 2024 refund until I file 2019-2022 tax returns by March 6, 2025 - need help with missing documents and multiple years

Just checked my mail and got a notice from the IRS saying they're holding my 2024 tax refund because I haven't filed for 2019, 2020, 2021, and 2022. The notice specifically states "We're holding your 2024 tax refund. Our records show you still haven't filed your 2019, 2020, 2021 and 2022 Forms 1040. We believe you'll owe more tax for 2019, 2020, 2021 and 2022. We're holding your 2024 refund until we hear from you." I was going through some really rough personal stuff during those years and just couldn't get my act together to file. The letter says I have until March 6, 2025 to either file all those returns or provide an explanation of why I didn't need to file. According to the notice, I have three options for filing my returns: 1. File electronically using a paid or volunteer tax return preparer (they say this is the best option if I can file the missing return within 2 years from when it was originally due) 2. Fax my signed and dated returns to 855-279-2109 3. Mail my signed and dated returns to: Internal Revenue Service Stop 5501 P.O. Box 149338 Austin, TX 78714-9338 Alternatively, I can provide a valid reason for not filing or filing late, along with a copy of the notice, by March 6, 2025. I can either fax my explanation to 855-279-2109 or mail it to the address above. The letter warns that if I don't respond by March 6, 2025, they'll continue to hold my 2024 refund and may determine my tax based on third party information. If they determine I owe taxes or other debts they're required to collect, they may apply all or part of my refund to the amount I owe. They'll send a notice explaining how they applied my refund and a check for any remaining refund (if there is one). I was counting on this refund to catch up on some bills. Has anyone else dealt with this? I don't have all my documents from those years and I'm freaking out about what to do. Do I need to hire someone to help me? The worst part is they'll probably apply my current refund to whatever I end up owing for those past years.

Logan Stewart

Honestly? I burned whole evenings trying to navigate the IRS website, calling their numbers and waiting for hours, and searching through old emails for tax documents. Then a friend recommended taxr.ai and it immediately made sense of my transcript situation and told me exactly what was happening and what I needed to do. It saved me SO much time and frustration. I don't usually recommend services but this one is worth checking out at https://taxr.ai

I get the skepticism, I really do. But when something actually helps during tax nightmares, people tend to recommend it. I spent weeks trying to figure things out on my own before using it. It's just a time-saver for understanding what's actually happening with your IRS account rather than guessing.

File those returns ASAP! I was in the EXACT same boat and finally got everything straightened out. Used taxr.ai to make sense of my transcript mess and then used a tax preparer to get the past returns done. Once everything was filed, I called the IRS (used Claimyr.com to actually get through) and set up a payment plan for what I owed. It feels SO GOOD to have it all behind me now.

Try the Claimyr app! I was in the exact same boat as u and needed answers. Used their service and actually got through to the IRS (which felt like a miracle after trying for weeks). The agent explained exactly what was happening with my refund and why the date changed. Talking to someone who could see my actual account details was so worth it. Their site is claimyr.com

Make sure to get everything in writing from your tax preparer about when you can expect the check. Some of these places will give you the runaround. If they say "2 weeks" ask them to write down exactly when you should call if you haven't received it by then.

Most folks saying 2-3 weeks here are accurate based on my experience. BUT if you wanna know exactly what's happening with your refund, call the IRS directly. I tried forever to reach an agent and finally used claimyr.com which got me a callback from an actual agent. The agent was able to see exactly where my refund was in the process and told me when I could expect it to be returned to SBTG. Made me feel so much better having real info instead of guesses from reddit.

IRS 'Where's My Refund' shows 'Action Required' for 2024 joint filing - letter coming in 2-3 weeks regarding Tax Topic 152

Filed our taxes back in April and was expecting a pretty quick refund like normal. I checked Where's My Refund today and suddenly there's this message saying 'Action Required' and that they need more information. The full message from the IRS website states: "Results Tax year 2024 ! Action Required Please read the following information related to your tax situation. You may need to provide additional information to receive your full refund. We received your return and sent you a letter requesting more information. Please respond by following the instructions in the letter. If you don't respond, your refund amount could be changed. It may take 2-3 weeks for you to receive the letter. Helpful Information Please read the following information related to your tax situation: Tax Topic 152, Refund Information Your personal tax information Tax Year 2024 Filing Status Married and filing jointly" The message says they sent me a letter but I haven't received anything in the mail yet. It clearly states that my refund could be changed if I don't respond to this letter I don't even have yet! We've never had this happen before in all our years of filing. According to the website, they'll send a letter with instructions in 2-3 weeks. As you can see, we filed married jointly for tax year 2024. The status specifically mentions Tax Topic 152, which I looked up briefly but it just seems to be general information about refunds. Nothing specific about what information they actually need from us. Has anyone dealt with this "Action Required" status before and know what kind of information they might typically request? Should I be worried? Is there anything I can do besides just wait for this mysterious letter to arrive?

Sara Hellquiem

If you really need your refund quickly and can't wait, there's a Taxpayer Advocate Service that can help in hardship cases. You'll need to prove financial hardship though (like potential eviction, utility shutoff, can't afford medications, etc).

Mine was because I claimed the Recovery Rebate Credit. They just needed me to prove I didn't receive the stimulus payment. Check if you claimed any special credits this year that might need verification.

IRS "Still Processing" Status with Tax Topic 152 - Blank Transcripts but Return Received for 2024 - Do I Need Identity Verification?

I've been checking my tax transcripts for weeks and they're completely blank. Today my Where's My Refund just updated with a new message. I went to the official IRS website (sa.www4.irs.gov/ola/refund) to check my refund status and this is what I'm seeing: For Tax year 2024: Return: Received āœ“ Refund Approved: ? Refund Sent: ? The message reads: "Your tax return is still being processed. A refund date will be provided when available. For more information about processing delays, please see our Refund Frequently Asked Questions." Under "Helpful Information" it shows: "Please read the following information related to your tax situation: Tax Topic 152, Refund Information" Nothing is marked as approved or sent, just received. I'm wondering if I need to verify my identity. Has anyone experienced this situation without needing to verify? Is there a specific number I should call to check on verification status? I'm really getting worried since my transcripts are blank but the Where's My Refund tool acknowledges they received my return with the Tax Topic 152 reference.

Ella Knight

If your state refund also hasnt come through that's another sign you probably need to verify. When I had to verify, both federal and state were held up.

Did you claim any credits like EITC or Child Tax Credit? Those automatically get extra scrutiny and can cause delays even without needing to verify identity.
