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!

When I was trying to track my tax refund last season, I wasted SO much time trying to interpret all the transcript codes and cross-reference with WMR. Total nightmare. This year I used taxr.ai and it was a complete game changer! It explained exactly what was happening with my return in simple English, predicted my refund timeline accurately, and helped me understand why my transcript and WMR were showing different things. Saved me hours of stress and confusion. Check it out: https://taxr.ai

Yes! It works for amended returns, past year returns, everything. It can tell you exactly where your amendment is in processing and when to expect movement.

The IRS has the most broken, outdated systems ever. I swear they're still using computers from the 1980s šŸ˜‚ Don't worry about the transcript not updating yet - that's completely normal. I've had my refund literally in my bank account while my transcript was still showing nothing updated. As long as you got the acceptance confirmation, you're good!

Why does my IRS account show "2024 Verification of Non-Filing Letter" despite filing in February and receiving state refund weeks ago?

I'm confused about something I'm seeing on my IRS account. When I go to check my transcripts, I see "2024 Verification of Non-Filing Letter" listed under available transcripts. I already received my state tax refund about 3 weeks ago, but I'm not sure what this federal transcript status means. When I log into the IRS website and go to the transcript section, I see the following available transcripts: - 2024 Verification of Non-Filing Letter [PDF] EN - 2023 Return Transcript [PDF] EN - 2022 Return Transcript [PDF] EN - 2021 Return Transcript [PDF] EN Under the Wage & Income Transcripts section, it shows: "These transcripts show data from information returns, such as W-2s, 1098s, and 1099s reported to the IRS. The transcript may not be complete until all earnings are reported." And then I see: - 2024 Wage & Income Transcript [PDF] EN - 2023 Wage & Income Transcript [PDF] EN - 2022 Wage & Income Transcript [PDF] EN - 2021 Wage & Income Transcript [PDF] EN There's also text on the page saying "year or your tax return is still being processed." Does this mean the IRS thinks I haven't filed? I definitely submitted my federal return back in February through TurboTax and got a confirmation. Should I be worried that my return isn't showing up yet but the system is letting me get a "Verification of Non-Filing Letter" for 2024? Has anyone else dealt with this situation before? I'm concerned because my state refund was processed weeks ago but there's no sign of my federal return being recognized.

Sofia Perez

If your trying to check if the IRS recieved and processed your 2023 return, you should look for the 2023 Return Transcript in that same list. If you can access that, it means your return has been processed. The 2024 verification of non-filing is just there because nobody has filed 2024 taxes yet!

i spent THREE WHOLE DAYS calling the irs trying to understand my transcript with the exact same issue. finaly used claimyr.com to get thru to an agent who told me this is completely normal. the verification of non-filing is auto-generated for the current year (2024) since nobody has filed 2024 taxes yet. talking to the irs agent resolved all my questions and saved my sanity, totally worth it.

Filed January 15th - Tax Transcript Updated March 5th with Refund Issued Status After Blank for Weeks!

Filed my taxes back on January 15th during the early filing period. My transcripts have been completely blank ever since and WMR only showed one bar. I've been checking obsessively all month and FINALLY got an update today! Just checked again yesterday morning and nothing was there, so this literally just happened. I just downloaded my Account Transcript and it's finally showing details! According to the transcript: FORM NUMBER: 1040 TAX PERIOD: Dec ACCOUNT BALANCE: $0.00 ACCRUED INTEREST: $0.00 AS OF: Mar. 18, 2025 ACCRUED PENALTY: $0.00 AS OF: Mar. 18, 2025 ACCOUNT BALANCE PLUS ACCRUALS: $0.00 My filing status shows as Household. My transcript shows: RETURN DUE DATE OR RETURN RECEIVED DATE (WHICHEVER IS LATER): Apr 15, 2025 PROCESSING DATE: Mar 17, 2025 The transactions section shows: CODE EXPLANATION OF TRANSACTION - CYCLE - DATE - AMOUNT 150 Tax return filed - 20250905 - 03-17-2025 - $0.00 30211-449-11318-5 806 W-2 or 1099 withholding - 04-15-2025 766 Credit to your account - 04-15-2025 768 Earned income credit - 04-15-2025 846 Refund issued - 03-05-2025 Looks like my refund was issued today (March 5th)! The transcript is showing my withholding, earned income credit, and that my refund has been issued. It has that "This Product Contains Sensitive Taxpayer Data" note at the bottom. The United States Department of the Treasury header is at the top. For anyone still waiting, there's hope! Good luck to everyone still in limbo.

After 6 weeks of waiting, I finally broke down and called the IRS using claimyr.com. Saved me HOURS of hold time and I actually got to speak to a human! Found out there was a simple verification issue holding up my refund that I never would have known about otherwise. Worth every penny to finally get my $3400 refund released. If you're still waiting, seriously consider giving them a try.

Pretty much! You enter the IRS number you want to call, and they have some system that keeps dialing and navigating the phone tree until they get a human. Then they call you and connect you directly to the agent. I was skeptical but desperate after trying for weeks on my own. The agent I spoke to was actually super helpful once I finally got through!

It's absolutely ridiculous that we need to constantly check transcripts and use third party tools just to figure out what's happening with OUR money. The IRS should be required to provide clear status updates and timelines instead of this cryptic nonsense.

If anyone else is still waiting - check if you need to verify your identity. I was waiting for 7 weeks and finally found out I needed to do ID verify, but they never sent me a letter! Did the verification online and got my refund 8 days later.

Filed 2/22, got state refund in a week, federal still says "processing" on WMR. Just checked transcripts after reading this post and I also have an 846 for 3/29! Never got any updates or notifications, it just appeared. The IRS website is a joke.

The main thing to remember is that the CTC has two parts - the regular part (up to $2k) which reduces your tax liability, and the ACTC (Additional Child Tax Credit) which is the refundable portion (up to $1,600 for 2024). Since you had no income and therefore no tax liability, you'd be looking at the refundable ACTC portion.

Some additional info since I've seen confusion about this: the CTC is $2,000 per qualifying child for 2024. And yes, for a 16-year-old, this is the LAST year they qualify (they must be under 17 at the end of the tax year). So definitely file to get whatever refundable portion you're eligible for!

IRS undeliverable mail notification and 570/971 hold codes - will my refund be delayed after moving?

I logged into my IRS account yesterday at 8:31 and noticed two notifications on my dashboard - one about my refund status being available and another saying they're unable to deliver mail to my current address on file. The exact notification said "Refund Status Now Available - Check your refund status for up to the three most recent tax years." And below that was "Confirm Your Mailing Address - We are unable to deliver mail to your current address on file. Please review your mailing address and update if needed." When I checked my transcripts, I found codes 570 and 971 on there. I filed my taxes in early April and was expecting my refund by now (late May). Are these two things connected? Is the address issue what's causing the hold codes on my account? I moved last July but I made sure to update my address when I filed. Not sure why they're saying they can't deliver mail to me. In the "Records and Status" section of my account (sa.www4.irs.gov), I also noticed options to "Make a payment", "View Payment Options", and "View Payment Activity", but I'm not trying to make payments - I'm waiting for my refund! There was also a notification about "Go Paperless for Certain IRS Notices" where I can "Set your profile preferences to receive IRS notices online." Anyone else dealt with these notification issues? How long will this delay things? I'm concerned that if they can't deliver mail to me, I might miss important documents related to my refund. Should I update my address again even though I already did it when I filed?

Sasha Ivanov

FYI those codes are super common right now. The IRS is doing more verification this year because of all the fraud. 570 & 971 usually just mean they're double-checking something. But definitely fix your address issue! You can do it online through the IRS portal in about 2 minutes.

A little paranoid maybe, but worth checking - is someone filing fraudulent tax returns in your name? If someone did that and changed your address with the IRS, you might want to request an Identity Protection PIN from the IRS for future filings.

YO CHECK YOUR TRANSCRIPT AGAIN! Sometimes they update the 846 date if there was an issue with the first deposit. Had this happen to me - saw an 846 for 3/12, nothing came, checked again and there was a new 846 for 3/26.

The debt could be from anywhere. They took $275 from my refund for a parking ticket from 2016 that I never knew about. Apparently it went to collections and then to the treasury offset program. The system is insane.

The payment plan prevents them from levying your bank accounts, garnishing your wages, and putting liens on your property. It doesn't protect refunds though. Never has.

I swear decoding IRS transcripts feels like being a detective in some weird tax mystery. I went down this rabbit hole last month trying to figure out what was happening with my offset. Ended up using taxr.ai which basically translated the whole transcript for me in seconds. Showed me exactly what happened with my offset and when I'd get the rest of my money. SO much easier than trying to figure it out myself!
