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!

IRS Code 570 "Additional action pending" on transcript with 03-03-2025 date - $8,600 refund delayed beyond 21-day timeline

I just checked my IRS transcript online and noticed a code 570 'Additional account action pending' with a date of 03-03-2025 and a $0.00 amount. It literally says: 570 Additional account action pending 03-03-2025 $0.00 This Product Contains Sensitive Taxpayer Data I filed my taxes back in early February and got the acceptance notification within a couple days. My refund was pretty sizable this year (about $8,600) because of child tax credits and some education expenses. I was supposed to get my refund by mid-March according to the 21-day timeline, but it's still showing as processing on Where's My Refund. I've been checking the IRS website (sa.www4.irs.gov) every day hoping to see movement, but nothing has changed. I'm really counting on this money to pay off some bills that have been piling up. Anyone know what this 570 code means and what I should expect? Is my refund being delayed? Should I be worried? I've heard some people say that the 570 code means they're reviewing my return, but others say it could just be a temporary hold. I'm getting really anxious since it's been well over the 21 days they promise.

Look for a cycle code on your transcript too (should be at the top). If it ends in 05, your account updates on Fridays. If it ends in 02, it updates on Wednesdays. That might give you an idea of when to check for changes.

Uggghhhhh the IRS and their stupid codes 😫 Had this happen last year and ended up being flagged for identity verification. Never even got a letter telling me. Finally figured it out 2 months later when I used taxr.ai and it told me exactly what was happening with my account. Actually predicted when I'd get paid down to the exact day! https://taxr.ai

Can both parents claim the same child on taxes if one is custodial parent?

I'm confused about claiming my daughter on our tax returns this year. My husband and I file separately, and I allowed him to claim our daughter as a dependent on his return. Now I'm working on my taxes, and the system is asking if I want to put her down as a custodial parent. I thought only one parent could claim a child? Does being the custodial parent mean something different than claiming her as a dependent? Has anyone dealt with this situation before? I don't want to mess up our returns or get flagged for an audit.

Sienna Gomez

i had the exact same question last year! turns out I could still file as head of household and get the earned income credit even though my ex claimed our daughter on his taxes. saved me like $2800!! def worth checking the custodial parent box if you have the kid more than half the time

This is the answer right here ⬆️ You need to understand the difference between claiming a dependent and being a custodial parent.

The tax software wont let you claim the child tax credit for her if you indicate your spouse is claiming her, but you can still get other benefits as the custodial parent. Its confusing but actually works out better financially for most couples this way.

"Action Required" message on Where's My Refund for $4,300 refund - Do I wait for a letter or take action now?

Filed my 2024 taxes back in April and got accepted right away. Everything was proceeding normally with the "Your refund is being processed" status for about 3 weeks. Then yesterday I checked the Where's My Refund tool and suddenly got an "Action Required" message. The IRS website showed this exact message: "Action Required Please read the following information related to your tax situation. You may need to provide additional information to receive your full refund. We received your tax return and are reviewing it. If we need additional information, we'll mail a notice with further instructions. If you've already received a notice, please follow the instructions. If we determine no additional information is needed, we'll continue to process your refund." This is stressing me out because it says they might need additional information, but also says they'll mail me a notice if they do. The weird thing is I haven't received any letters yet. Has anyone ever had this message disappear on its own without having to submit anything? Or does this definitely mean I'll need to provide more documentation? My refund is around $4,300 and I'm getting worried they're going to delay it forever. I really need this money for some upcoming bills. Should I just keep waiting for a notice in the mail? How long do these "reviews" typically take? The message doesn't give any timeframe, just says they're reviewing it and might need more info. I'm worried because I was counting on this refund for bills due next month.

Adaline Wong

Have u tried calling the irs? I know its basicly impossible to get thru but after trying for weeks I found this service called claimyr.com that got me a call back from the IRS in like 2 hours. The agent was able to tell me exactly what was missing (I made a mistake on my mailing address) and then released my refund while I was on the phone with her. Was worth every cent to finally get my $4k refund unstuck after 2 months of waiting.

IRS shows "Refund Sent" check mark but no deposit in bank on promised February 27th date - should I wait until March 4th deadline?

I filed my taxes on February 4th and got accepted the same day. I've been checking the Where's My Refund tool religiously since then. About two weeks ago, it updated to show all three check marks and said my refund was approved and scheduled to be direct deposited to my bank by February 27th, 2025. The exact message on the Refund Status Results page shows: "Return Received ✓ Refund Approved ✓ Refund Sent ✓ Your tax refund is scheduled to be sent to your bank by February 27th, 2025. If your refund is not credited to your account by March 4th, 2025, check with your bank to see if it has been received." Well, today is February 27th and I still don't see anything in my account. The WMR tool still shows the same message that my refund is scheduled to be sent to my bank by February 27th, 2025, and if I don't see it by March 4th, 2025, I should check with my bank. At the bottom of the page, there's also a note that says: "Please Note For refund information, please continue to check here, or use our free mobile app, IRS2Go. Updates to refund status are made no more than once a day." I was really counting on this money to pay some bills this month. Has anyone else experienced a delay like this? Should I be worried or just keep waiting until March 4th, 2025 like it says? I'm just confused because it shows the "Refund Sent" checkmark is already checked, but I don't have the money yet.

Mary Bates

Call the IRS! Oh wait... you cant because youll be on hold for 3 hours if you even get through at all 🤣 The system is completely broken. I had to use Claimyr.com to finally get someone on the phone after trying for weeks. The agent told me my refund was actually held up because of a mismatch in my reported W2 income that wouldn't have shown up on WMR. Got it fixed in 10 minutes once I actually talked to someone.

No they don't ask for anything personal. They just connect you with the IRS directly - you talk to a real IRS agent, not someone from the service. It just helps you get through the phone system which is impossible otherwise.

Is there ANY way to get through to the IRS by phone for identity verification? Automated system just loops me in circles

I've been trying for 3 weeks now to contact the IRS for identity verification. Every time I call the number they gave me in their letter, I just get stuck in an automated loop telling me to check my status online. I've tried pressing different options, calling at different times (5am, during lunch, right before they close). Nothing works! The online status checker just says I need to call. This is so frustrating - I filed my taxes in March, and it's now July with no movement. Has anyone successfully gotten through to a human at the IRS for verification? Any tricks or tips would be really appreciated.

What worked for me was calling my Representative in Congress. Their office has special liaisons that can cut through the IRS bureaucracy. I called my Rep after 3 weeks of failed attempts to reach the IRS, and their office submitted an inquiry. IRS called me directly 4 days later. Your tax dollars pay their salaries - make them work for you!

How long does it take to receive IRS 14-digit verification notice after filing 10 days ago?

I filed my tax return about 10 days ago and received a message that I need to verify my return. Went to the IRS official website and there's this verification page asking for a 14-digit control number from a notice they supposedly mailed me. But I haven't received anything in the mail yet. The page is titled "Verify Your Return" and has a section that says "Verify Your Notice" followed by "Did you receive an IRS return verification notice in the mail?" It explicitly states "You will need this notice to continue with this online service. If you received a notice, but don't have it with you, please come back later." There are two options on the page: 1. "Yes" - which then asks me to "Enter the 14-digit control number provided on your notice, you don't need to use spaces." 2. "No, please resend the notice" - which includes a warning that "If you have filed your return within the last 7 days, please allow an additional 14 days to receive the notice in the mail before requesting another one to be sent. You can then come back and continue verifying." Does anyone know how long these verification notices usually take to arrive? I'm on the sa.www4.irs.gov website, and since I filed 10 days ago, should I just keep waiting the full 14 days as suggested, or should I click the option to request them to resend it now? I'm getting really anxious about my refund being held up because of this verification step.

HEADS UP: This happened to me and I learned you can also be selected for verification RANDOMLY even if there's no suspicion of fraud. It's just part of their standard security measures. So don't panic thinking you did something wrong!

How long between IRS refund email notification and actual deposit?

I received an email from the IRS on Tuesday saying my refund was being processed and should be deposited in 5 days (so tomorrow). Has anyone gotten the same message? How long did it take between the email and the actual deposit hitting your account? This is for my 2023 tax return which I filed back in April. I've been checking my bank account like crazy and nothing yet.

IRS refund rejected by prepaid card, now waiting for paper check - avoid prepaid cards!

Filed my taxes at the end of March and was scheduled for direct deposit on 4/15 to my prepaid card. When nothing showed up by 4/20, I started checking my transcript and calling the card company. Finally found out yesterday that the prepaid card company DECLINED the incoming deposit from IRS! Now I'm stuck waiting for them to mail me a paper check which could take 4-6 weeks according to the rep I finally reached. Lesson learned - never using a prepaid card again! Thought it would be faster than waiting for a paper check but now I'm waiting even longer. Anyone else have this happen? Get yourself a real bank account folks!

Jackson Carter

The exact same thing happened to me in 2022. I used Claimyr.com and got through to a human at the IRS after trying for weeks on my own. The agent told me that once a direct deposit is rejected, there's absolutely nothing they can do to re-send it electronically - it HAS to go by paper check. But at least they confirmed where they were sending it and gave me a timeframe. Talking to an actual person at the IRS got my mind at ease. Anyone stuck in tax limbo should definitely consider using the service to skip the hold times.

Sorry to hear about your troubles with the prepaid card! The IRS system is so frustrating. Have you tried calling the IRS directly? I had a similar situation last year and was able to get some help by using Claimyr.com to actually get through to a live person at the IRS. It's worth trying since they might be able to give you more specific information about when to expect your check. Talking to an agent on the phone was the only thing that got my refund situation resolved.

IRS "Action Required" notice says letter requesting more information is coming in 2-3 weeks - what should I expect?

I checked the Where's My Refund tool today and saw something concerning. It displays "Action Required" with an exclamation point at the top of the Refund Status Results page. The exact message says "We received your return and sent you a letter requesting more information. Please respond by following the instructions in the letter. If you don't respond, your refund amount could be changed. It may take 2-3 weeks for you to receive the letter." Under "Helpful Information" it specifically mentions "Tax Topic 152, Refund Information" and "Your personal tax information." The IRS website shows this under the "Home / Refunds / Refund Status / Results" path. It's been 6 days since I checked and everything was fine - my return was accepted on April 1 and was processing normally until now. I'm completely freaking out because I don't know what information they need from me or why they suddenly need more documentation. Has anyone dealt with this "Action Required" status before? What kind of letter should I expect from them? I'm really worried because I need that refund for some upcoming expenses and now I don't know how long this will delay things. Should I call the IRS now or just wait for the letter to arrive? The website says it could take 2-3 weeks for the letter to even get to me, which seems like a long time to wait when I'm anxious about this.

Emily Parker

Hate to be that person but I had this message and never got a letter (seriously). Waited 3 weeks, nothing arrived. Finally called IRS and they said the letter was returned as undeliverable even though my address was correct. They resent it but by then it had already been 5 weeks of waiting. If you don't get a letter in 3 weeks, definitely call!

The worst thing about these verification requests is that even after you respond, it takes the IRS like 30-60 days to process your response. Their own website says 2-3 weeks but that's a complete lie lol. Just setting expectations so you're not checking WMR every day for weeks after you respond.

2024 Tax Return Filed April 15: IRS Shows Processing Delay Message, Return Received But Transcript Still Blank After 3 Weeks

I filed my 2024 taxes on April 15th and I'm getting worried because when I check the Where's My Refund tool, it's showing a processing delay message. It specifically says "We apologize, but your return processing has been delayed beyond the normal timeframe. You can continue to check back here for the most up to date information regarding your refund. We understand your tax refund is very important and we are working to process your return as quickly as possible." The tool shows "Tax year 2024" with checkmarks next to "Return Received" but no checkmarks next to "Refund Approved" or "Refund Sent" yet. It's suggesting I read "Tax Topic 152, Refund Information" under the "Helpful Information" section. There's also a note saying "For refund information, please continue to check here, or use our free mobile app, IRS2Go. Updates to refund status are made no more than once a day." When I try to view my transcript online, it's completely blank - nothing is showing up at all. It's been almost 3 weeks now since I filed. Has anyone experienced this before? Should I be concerned or is this normal after only filing a few weeks ago? I was expecting to at least see something on my transcript by now, but the IRS website (sa.www4.irs.gov) is just showing this delay message with no further details about why or how long it might take.

Evelyn Kim

After waiting 9 weeks with ZERO updates on WMR or transcript, I used claimyr.com to get through to an IRS agent. Found out my return was flagged for manual review because of a mismatch between what my employer reported and what I entered. The agent fixed it right on the call and my refund was approved 2 days later. Sometimes you just need to talk to a human to solve these things.
