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!

It's standard practice across most tax prep places. Had this happen with TurboTax, Liberty, and now Jackson Hewitt over the years. They're just protecting themselves in case something goes wrong with your return. Here's my experience with the wait times for the second payment: - TurboTax: 3 days - Liberty Tax: 2 days - Jackson Hewitt: 4 days All eventually came through, but JH was the slowest in my experience.

Might also depend on who your bank is. Some banks process ACH transfers faster than others. I got my split payment but the second half took 6 business days even though they said 3-5. My credit union is notoriously slow with processing.

CK customer for 3 yrs. To answer your question: sometimes 2 days early, sometimes 1 day, sometimes right on the date. No rhyme or reason I can figure out. Last year was 1 day early if that helps.

if u have kids and claimed EIC u might be part of the random audit pool. My friend got selected and her return was held with 570 code for 8 weeks before she even got an audit letter. IRS is being extra cautious this year with credits.

Ok this is EXACTLY what I went through. I was stuck with a 570 for like 3 weeks with no explanation. I used taxr.ai and found out it was because my W2 hadn't been processed by the IRS yet (my employer filed late). Once I knew that I just had to wait it out, and sure enough a week later got a 571 code and then my refund. Highly recommend it for peace of mind if nothing else.

There is a fee but considering I was stressing daily about my $8k refund, it was 100% worth it to actually understand what was happening instead of just guessing.

I lost all faith in WMR years ago. I've learned to just expect my refund when it shows up. Last year WMR said my refund was still processing for 2 weeks AFTER I received it. The system is completely broken.

I always get my tax refunds on paper checks now. Yes it takes longer initially but I've never had the problems my friends with direct deposit always seem to have. The check comes exactly when they say it will.

Not always that simple. Injured spouse can actually complicate things and delay processing by 11-14 weeks. Sometimes faster to just take the offset depending on your financial situation.

When I needed to talk to a human at the IRS about my offset, I used Claimyr (claimyr.com) and got through in about 45 minutes. The IRS rep confirmed exactly what was happening with my refund and gave me the exact date my remaining portion would be deposited. Worth every penny after spending DAYS trying to get through the normal phone line. They had me talking to an actual IRS agent who could see my account and help resolve everything.

I've had every code in the book this year! 570, 971, 420, 571, and FINALLY 846 last week. The whole process took almost 3 months from filing to refund. What worked for me was getting an IRS tax advocate through my congressman's office. They expedited my case because I was facing financial hardship. Might be worth a try if you're in dire need of your refund.

I was confused by all the transcript codes and spent hours trying to decipher what was happening with my return. A friend recommended taxr.ai and it completely demystified everything for me. It analyzed my transcript and explained all the codes in plain English, and even predicted when my refund would arrive. My 570 code was due to them verifying my W-2 income. Once that cleared, I got my 846 code exactly when the tool predicted. https://taxr.ai saved me so much stress!

Dylan Mitchell

I just tried this and WOW! It actually explained why I had a 570 code in a way that made sense. Turns out they're verifying my earned income credit eligibility. The tool says I should expect resolution in 1-2 more weeks. Finally feel like I understand what's going on!

pro tip: never expect the IL web tools to be accurate. The phone system is equally useless most of the time. After endless frustration with both my federal and IL returns last year, I started using Claimyr for phone support (claimyr.com) and taxr.ai for my federal transcript. Lifesavers when you're stuck in tax return purgatory.

they don't need any sensitive info, just your phone number so they can call you when they get an agent on the line. it's basically just a service that waits on hold for you. totally changed the game for me after spending literally 6+ hours trying to get through myself.

I was wondering what kinda tax law lets Illinois hold onto your money for 3 months without paying interest. That's literally money you overpaid them that they're using interest-free. But whatever, glad you got it!

IRS2Go Shows "Refund Received" After 3/17 ID Verification - When Will Head of Household Refund Be Approved?

I just checked my refund status on the IRS2Go app after verifying my identity both online and over the phone on 3/17. The status has updated from nothing to showing "Refund Received" but still shows empty circles for "Refund Approved" and "Refund Sent" stages. The exact message says: 'We have received your tax return and it is being processed. Please Note: For refund information, please continue to check here, or visit IRS.gov/Refunds. Updates to refund status are made no more than once a day.' I filed as Head of Household this year. The app clearly shows my filing status as Head of Household and displays the three-stage refund tracker with only the first stage filled in (Refund Received), while the "Refund Approved" and "Refund Sent" stages are still pending. Does this mean I'll get my refund date tomorrow? I'm particularly anxious because after verifying my identity both online and through the phone on 3/17, it finally updated to this status. The IRS2Go app has the navigation options at the bottom for Refunds, Payments, Tax Help, and Connect, but I'm mostly concerned with the refund status page. Anyone know how long after this "We have received your tax return and it is being processed" message appears until I'll see an approval and direct deposit date? Is this a good sign that things are moving now after the identity verification?

Anybody else think its nuts that we can land a rover on Mars but the IRS cant tell us when our refund will arrive? šŸ¤£ good luck OP, you're gonna need it

pro tip from someone who's done this dance before: if you absolutely cannot get through on the verification number OR complete ID.me successfully, call the Taxpayer Advocate Service. They cant verify you directly but they can escalate your case and get someone to call YOU for verification. Saved me weeks of frustration last year.

They sent me a verification letter in March. Completed it the next day through ID.me. Still waiting for my refund in June. Called multiple times and they just keep saying "still processing" and to allow 9 weeks. Its been 13 weeks now. The IRS is a dumpster fire.
