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!

Ok maybe I'm crazy but try checking your transcript REALLY early in the morning like 3-4am EST. For some reason I could never see updates during regular hours but middle of the night I could see everything. IRS systems are weird.
can confirm this actually works! system updates overnight on thursdays/fridays
I'm going through the exact same thing! Filed March 8th, verified identity March 14th, and it's been radio silence ever since. My transcript is completely blank and WMR just says "still being processed" with no progress bars. Called twice and both reps told me the same thing - verification shows complete but to just wait longer. It's so frustrating not knowing if something is actually wrong or if this is just normal now. Really hoping we see some movement soon because I'm starting to stress that my return got lost somewhere in their system.

I got mine at 5:15 Eastern! DDD 3/12 with SunTrust. Maybe check again?
Just checked again and still nothing in my Chase account. Hopefully it comes through tonight!
I'm in the exact same boat - 3/12 DDD with Chase and nothing yet! I've been refreshing my account all day like it's going to magically appear. From what I'm reading here it sounds like Chase usually posts same day or next morning, so I'm trying to stay optimistic. The waiting is the worst part though, especially when you need the money for bills. Fingers crossed we both see it by tomorrow morning!

next year im def paying the fees upfront. This refund transfer stuff is for the birds 🤮
fr fr save yourself the headache
Been there! When TurboTax shows "Payment Completed" for the refund transfer, it just means they successfully grabbed their $133 from your refund - not that your money is coming tomorrow. The IRS still has to finish processing everything on their end. Since you filed Jan 18th, you're actually right on track timing-wise. Most people are seeing about 3-4 weeks total processing time this year. Check WMR (Where's My Refund) on the IRS site - that'll give you the real status of when your remaining refund hits your account. The waiting sucks but you should see movement soon! 🤞

Anyone have recommendations for legit tax software that has good fraud protection built in? I used to use an accountant but trying to save money this year. Worried about accidentally falling for one of these tax scams the IRS warns about.
I've had good experiences with TaxSlayer. It has built-in error checking and will flag unusual entries that might trigger IRS scrutiny. It's not as expensive as some of the bigger names but still has good security features. Whatever you choose, just make sure it's on the IRS Free File Alliance list so you know it's legitimate!
I'd actually recommend going against the software route if you're specifically worried about scams. Find a local enrolled agent who charges a reasonable fee. My EA costs $200 for a basic return which isn't much more than the premium versions of tax software once you add state filing, and she catches things software would miss.
Thanks for sharing this - I had no idea the IRS published an annual "Dirty Dozen" list! Just looked it up and wow, there are so many scams I wouldn't have thought to watch out for. The fake charity scams especially caught my attention since we're always getting donation requests. One thing that really stood out to me was the warning about preparers who won't provide you with a copy of your return or refuse to sign it. That seems like such an obvious red flag now but I probably wouldn't have thought twice about it before reading this thread. For anyone looking, the IRS website has a really helpful section called "How to Choose a Tax Return Preparer" that walks through all the credentials to look for. They recommend starting with the IRS Directory of Federal Tax Return Preparers to find qualified professionals in your area. Definitely bookmarking that for next year!

I verified by phone on February 20th. My transcript updated with code 846 on March 9th. Deposit hit my account March 14th. Total of 23 days from verification to money in account. Not great, not terrible. One thing - if you're using the money for visa fees, plan for delays. The IRS doesn't care about your deadlines. Have a backup plan for the money just in case.

I went through this exact situation last month as a non-resident! I verified online on March 15th and got my 846 code on March 28th - exactly 13 days later. The refund hit my account 3 days after that. Here's what I learned: Online is definitely faster, but make sure you have backup documents ready. The system asked me questions about previous addresses going back 5 years, which was tricky since I've moved internationally. I had to have my old lease agreements and bank statements handy. For your May 20th deadline, if you verify this week, you should be cutting it close but likely okay based on the timelines people are sharing here. Just don't wait - every day counts when you're working with IRS processing times. And honestly, have a backup funding plan for those visa fees just in case there are unexpected delays. The IRS doesn't adjust their timeline for our life events, unfortunately. Good luck with the verification process!
