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!

Its literally easier to break into fort knox than get an IRS agent on the phone these days smh
fr fr no cap
I feel your pain! Here's what finally worked for me after weeks of trying: Call the Practitioner Priority Service line at 1-866-860-4259. You don't need to be a tax pro to use it - just say you're calling on behalf of yourself. They answer way faster than the main lines. Also, if you have a local IRS Taxpayer Assistance Center, try walking in with an appointment. Sometimes face-to-face is the only way to get real help. Good luck! 🤞

According to Internal Revenue Manual 21.4.1.3(1), the 846 code indicates a refund issuance, while 971 refers to a notice or correspondence. Per IRM 5.19.1.4.10, when you have an outstanding tax liability, the IRS is authorized under IRC § 6402(a) to offset your refund to satisfy the debt, which appears to be what happened in your case. The February 25th date on the 846 code indicates when the refund was issued (after any applicable offsets), and the March 10th date on the 971 code indicates when they'll send formal documentation of this transaction. This is standard procedure when the IRS applies refund offsets to satisfy existing tax liabilities.
I just went through this exact scenario last month and can confirm what others are saying. The 971 code is basically the IRS saying "we're sending you paperwork" and the 846 is "money is coming your way." Since your 846 date was 2/25, you should check your bank account - the refund might already be there (minus whatever you owed). The timing makes perfect sense too - they process everything first, send the money, then mail you the explanation letter. It's like ordering something online and getting the package before the shipping confirmation email! One thing to watch for: the amount next to your 846 code will show exactly how much they sent you after taking out what you owed. So if you were expecting $1000 back but owed $200, the 846 should show $800. The 971 notice will just be a letter breaking down those numbers for your records.

Ugh, I feel your pain! I've been waiting since March too and it's so frustrating. The "still processing" message is like a broken record at this point. I tried calling so many times I could probably recite their hold music from memory 😭 Have you tried checking if there are any issues with your return that might be causing the delay? Sometimes it's something simple like a form that needs verification. Hang in there!

Has anyone been able to get their amended returns processed faster by visiting an IRS Taxpayer Assistance Center in person? I've heard mixed things about whether this actually helps or if they just tell you to keep waiting.

•I went to a local IRS office about my amended return, and it actually was helpful! The key is you MUST make an appointment first (1-844-545-5640). They can't process the amendment on the spot, but the representative I spoke with was able to see detailed notes about my case that weren't visible online and gave me a realistic timeframe. They also put a note in my file that I had inquired in person, which seemed to move things along.

I'm dealing with a very similar situation as an international student! Filed incorrectly in 2020 using TurboTax before my 5-year waiting period was up, sent in my 1040X amendment in April 2021, and it's still showing "received" status with no progress. What I've learned from calling the IRS multiple times is that international student amendments often get routed to specialized processing units that have much longer backlogs. The agents I spoke with said these cases require manual review because of treaty benefits and residency status changes, which is why they take so much longer than regular amendments. For your 2022 filing, definitely go ahead and file normally based on your original 2021 return (not the amended version). I did this for my 2021 and 2022 returns while my 2020 amendment was still pending, and it didn't cause any issues. The IRS processes each year separately, so the pending amendment won't block your current year filing. One tip that actually worked for me: when you call the IRS, specifically ask to speak with someone in the "International Individual Processing Unit" rather than general customer service. They're much more knowledgeable about F-1 student tax issues and can give you better information about your case status.
