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 went through this EXACT situation last month. After days of stress and trying to decipher IRS codes, I used taxr.ai which analyzed my transcript and showed me exactly what was happening. Turns out my 570 code was just because they were verifying my identity after I moved. The tool gave me a predicted refund date that was spot on - came within 2 days of what it predicted. Highly recommend it if you're stuck in 570 limbo. https://taxr.ai
I'm dealing with the exact same thing right now! Got a 570 code on my transcript with no date, just says "should update 03/17/25". Filed in early February and expected around $3,800 back. It's so frustrating not knowing what's going on or how long this will take. I called the IRS twice but couldn't get through after waiting over an hour each time. Really hoping it resolves soon because I have some unexpected car repairs I need to pay for. Thanks for posting this - at least I know I'm not alone!
You're definitely not alone! I'm going through the same thing and it's so stressful when you need the money for unexpected expenses. The waiting is the worst part because you have no idea what's causing the hold or how long it will take. From what I've been reading in these comments, it sounds like the 570 code can be caused by all sorts of things - identity verification, income matching, credit verification, etc. Have you checked your mail to see if they sent you any letters requesting documentation? Some people mentioned that sometimes takes a week or two to arrive after the code appears.

I'm seeing the exact same thing! Filed on 1/27 and got my acceptance email the next day, but my transcript shows that weird Feb 17, 2025 date with everything blank. Based on what everyone's saying here, sounds like it's just a system placeholder while they process everything. Definitely going to check out taxr.ai since so many people are recommending it - would be nice to get some actual insight into what's happening behind the scenes instead of just guessing š¤

ā¢Same exact situation here! Filed 1/28 and got acceptance email but transcript shows that Feb 17 2025 date with everything blank. Really relieved to see I'm not alone in this - was starting to think something went wrong with my filing. Definitely gonna try taxr.ai too since everyone seems to be getting good results from it. Thanks for sharing your experience!
Ethan Taylor
Filed on 1/25 and seeing the exact same thing - blank transcript with Feb 17, 2025 processing date but got my acceptance email right away. After reading through all these comments I'm definitely going to try taxr.ai since it seems like everyone who used it got clear answers about what's actually happening with their returns. The IRS really needs to make these transcripts more user-friendly instead of leaving us all guessing what these cryptic codes and placeholder dates mean! At least now I know I'm not the only one dealing with this weirdness š

I was in your exact situation last year. Paper return sent in February, no updates until August. When I finally got my transcript, I couldn't make sense of all the codes and dates. Someone here recommended taxr.ai and it actually helped decode everything. No BS - it explained what each code meant and gave me a timeline. The site is https://taxr.ai if you eventually get your transcript and need to understand what's happening.

The IRS announced on April 11, 2024 that they're still processing paper returns received as far back as January 29, 2024. I mailed mine on February 17 and called them on May 2 - they confirmed receipt but said processing would take at least until June 15. The agent recommended checking the "Where's My Refund" tool every Friday as that's when most updates happen. He also mentioned that if you're expecting a refund, you can request interest payments if processing takes more than 45 days after the filing deadline (which was April 15, 2024).
Can you elaborate on the interest payments? I'm not familiar with the Form 843 Claim for Refund and Request for Abatement process. Does the IRS automatically calculate this or do we need to submit additional documentation?
PixelPioneer
ā¢The IRS actually calculates interest automatically if your refund is delayed beyond the 45-day statutory period (which starts from the later of the filing due date or the date you actually filed). You don't need to file Form 843 for this - it should be included with your refund check or direct deposit. The current interest rate is updated quarterly and posted on IRS.gov. However, if the IRS doesn't include the interest automatically, then you would need to file Form 843 to claim it. Just keep good records of when you filed and when you receive your refund in case you need to prove the delay later.

its probably because of the EIC, they always verify those. welcome to the club lol
fr fr every single year with this š¤”
Based on your transcript, the 570/971 codes are actually pretty standard for returns with EIC claims. The IRS routinely reviews these to verify eligibility - it's not necessarily a red flag, just part of their process. What's interesting is that your transcript shows all your credits (806, 766, 768) dated for April 15th, which suggests the system has already calculated your expected refund amount. This is usually a good sign that the review is more procedural than investigative. The timeline looks normal too - processed March 4th with immediate 570/971 codes. Most EIC reviews I've seen resolve within 2-3 weeks, so you should hopefully see movement by late March. Keep checking your transcript weekly for updates, and definitely watch for that 971 notice in the mail. It'll tell you exactly what they need (if anything) or just confirm they're doing a routine review.
Natalie Chen
ā¢This is super helpful! I'm new to understanding these transcripts and this explanation makes so much sense. The fact that the credits are already calculated for April 15th does seem like a positive sign. I'll definitely keep checking weekly and watch for that notice. Thanks for breaking it down so clearly!

Just gonna say this: if you're waiting on the IRS to contact you by mail, sign up for Informed Delivery with USPS. You'll get emails showing what mail is coming each day, so you'll know when that IRS letter finally arrives. Saved me from checking my mailbox obsessively for weeks.

I'm going through the exact same thing right now! Filed in early April, accepted same day, then got hit with topic 151 about 3 weeks ago. My transcript shows codes 570 and 971 just like yours. I've been checking my mail religiously but nothing yet. Really hoping it's just a simple verification and not something more complicated. The waiting is driving me crazy, especially since I was counting on that refund for some unexpected car repairs. Following this thread closely to see what everyone else's experiences have been!
