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!

The IRS has been especially slow this year processing things. My friend who works there says they're still understaffed and systems keep crashing. Even with refunds that show as processed on the transcript, there have been delays in the actual money movement.

Can confirm. My sister works for the Treasury and says their payment systems have been glitching like crazy this filing season. The whole system is held together with digital duct tape at this point lol

The whole process is so frustrating. I was in the same boat last year and absolutely could not get a straight answer from anyone. Ended up spending hours on forums trying to piece together what was happening. This year I used taxr.ai before filing and it helped me avoid all the headaches - showed me potential flags that could delay my return and explained the whole process super clearly. Highly recommend for anyone who hates this annual guessing game with the IRS. https://taxr.ai

It's basically like having an IRS agent explain your specific situation. It walks through your entire transcript and explains what each code means for YOU (not just generic explanations), shows you any issues that might delay your refund, and gives you a really clear timeline. Saved me from making a mistake that would have delayed my return by months.

I just went through this whole mess! I couldn't get anywhre until I used Claimyr.com to get through to an IRS rep who gave me the inside scoop. They told me that if I brought the check to an IRS Taxpayer Assistance Center, they could actually help me cash it. You need to make an appointment first, but the service made it super easy to talk to someone who actually knew the rules. Getting a real person on the phone changed everything - they were able to give me official options I never would have found online. It was the only way i could talk to a live agent and definitely the smartest move I made in this whole process.

Just fyi - some casinos will cash government checks without a fee because they hope you'll gamble with the money. Not saying you should gamble, but if you're desperate it's an option.

After dealing with this exact nightmare last year and not being able to reach anyone at IRS, I ended up using claimyr.com this year when my refund got stuck again. Got through to IRS in like 15 minutes when I'd been trying for days. Agent was able to tell me exactly what was happening and fixed the issue on the spot. My money showed up 2 days later. Sometimes you just need to talk to an actual human at the IRS to get things moving.

If its any consolation. I'm in the same boat. 2/19 DDD and SBTPG still says awaiting. Tax preparer said it could take a few more days because of high volume this year. They're processing millions of returns at once. Try to be patient even tho I know it sucks when your waiting on ur money.

When to expect DDD after 2/24 processing? $9,624 refund with EIC, filed 2/11, transcript updated 2/25

I filed my tax return on 2/11 and I know I had to wait for the PATH Act date to pass before my refund could process. Looking at my transcript today (02-25-2025), it seems like my return was processed on 2/24. Now I'm just waiting for the direct deposit date (DDD). Does anyone know how long it typically takes to get a DDD after processing? My transcript shows a refund amount of $9,624.00 with EIC and some withholding credits. Specifically, my transcript shows: Internal Revenue Service United States Department of the Treasury Record of Account FORM NUMBER: 1040 TAX PERIOD: Dec. 31, 2024 ACCOUNT BALANCE: -9,624.00 ACCRUED INTEREST: 0.00 AS OF: Mar. 11, 2025 ACCRUED PENALTY: 0.00 AS OF: Mar. 11, 2025 ACCOUNT BALANCE PLUS ACCRUALS (this is not a payoff amount): -9,624.00 INFORMATION FROM THE RETURN OR AS ADJUSTED EXEMPTIONS: 04 FILING STATUS: Head of Household ADJUSTED GROSS INCOME: 32,866.00 TAXABLE INCOME: 10,966.00 TAX PER RETURN: 0.00 RETURN DUE DATE OR RETURN RECEIVED DATE (WHICHEVER IS LATER) Apr. 15, 2025 PROCESSING DATE Feb. 24, 2025 TRANSACTIONS CODE EXPLANATION OF TRANSACTION | CYCLE | DATE | AMOUNT 150 Tax return filed | 20250605 | 02-24-2025 | $0.00 80221-424-36737-5 806 W-2 or 1099 withholding | | 04-16-2025 | -$596.00 766 Credit to your account | | 04-16-2025 | -$3,400.00 768 Earned income credit | | 04-16-2025 | -$5,628.00 Do they actually update the system daily or is it just certain days of the week? My refund has been processing for almost 2 weeks now since PATH lifted and I'm getting anxious. I was expecting to see a code 846 for the refund issued, but it's not there yet. With a processing date of 2/24, when should I realistically expect my direct deposit?

Felicity Bud

FYI I had this exact situation. I kept waiting for my transcript to update with the DDD but it never did - the money just showed up in my account one day! So don't rely 100% on the transcript updates.

Yes! It analyzes all your codes and gives you a predicted timeframe based on your specific situation. For me it said 5-7 days and I got my DDD exactly 6 days later. It also explains what each code on your transcript actually means in normal human language.

It explained what was wrong AND gave me step by step instructions for fixing it. I had to call the IRS (used claimyr for that) and tell them exactly what needed to be corrected. But knowing what to say made all the difference - the agent fixed it in minutes once I explained the specific issue.

Did you check if your bank account and routing number are correct on your return? One wrong digit and your refund could get rejected and the IRS would have to mail you a check instead which takes weeks longer.

I was losing sleep over my refund status b/c WMR wasn't updating right. Called through claimyr.com and found out there was a small issue they needed to verify. Got it fixed in one call and my refund was released the next day. Talking to an agent got my refund released so fast - worth every penny instead of waiting another month!

Based on those codes, I'm guessing you claimed some tax credits they're verifying. EITC? Child Tax Credit? Education credits? Those tend to trigger these kinds of freezes. Get ready for a long wait unless you can get someone on the phone.

Fun fact: The IRS computer systems are so old that they're still running COBOL programming language from the 1960s. That's why none of their status updates make any sense. Every time your return moves between departments, the systems don't talk to each other properly. It's a miracle any of us get our refunds at all.

I had this exact issue! After that message disappeared, I tried calling the IRS for 2 weeks straight with no luck. Then I used a service called Claimyr that got me through to an agent in 40 minutes. The agent told me my return had been flagged for review but was just released the day before I called. Got my deposit 8 days later. Sometimes talking to an actual person is the only way to find out what's really going on.

It's a service that waits on hold with the IRS for you. When they get an agent, they call you and connect you. It was the only way I could talk to a live agent after weeks of trying on my own. Seriously the best investment I made - talking to someone directly got my refund released so much faster.

IRS processing my 2024 tax return with Tax Topic 152 - Should I be concerned after 15 days of waiting?

I filed my taxes back in April 2025 and have been checking the Where's My Refund tool regularly. Today I finally got a message saying they received my return and it's being processed. When I logged into the IRS website (sa.www4.irs.gov), I saw the following status for my Tax year 2024 return: Refund Status: Return Received: βœ“ Refund Approved: ? Refund Sent: ? The message states: "We have received your tax return and it is being processed. If you filed a complete and accurate tax return, your refund should be issued within 21 days of the received date. However, processing may take longer under certain circumstances. Please check here or use our free mobile app, IRS2Go, to check on your refund status." Under "Helpful Information" it says "Please read the following information related to your tax situation: Tax Topic 152, Refund Information" It also shows my "Filing Status: Single" It says refund should be issued within 21 days but then there's something about 'Tax Topic 152' listed at the bottom. No actual refund date is showing. All the fields for 'Refund Approved' and 'Refund Sent' are still empty with question marks. I'm just wondering if the Tax Topic 152 means there's a problem or delay with my refund? Anyone know what this actually means? It's been about 15 days since I filed so I'm getting anxious since I was counting on this money.

Grace Lee

TT152 is literally meaningless. The WMR tool is a joke and doesn't actually tell you what's going on with your return. I recommend getting your transcript or talking to an agent if you want real answers.

Depending on what credits you claimed, your refund might be on a different schedule. For example if you have Earned Income Credit or Additional Child Tax Credit, those are automatically held until at least Mid-February even if you filed in January.

You're right, I missed that part. In that case it's probly just normal processing time. The 21 days is more of a guideline than a rule these dyas.

Is the bank account you entered a high-yield savings account or at an online bank? Some of these banks have been known to reject IRS deposits if certain information doesn't match perfectly. Double check the routing and account numbers you entered too.

I hate to tell you this, but I had the exact same issue last year. Called the IRS every day for weeks. They never answered. Finally I got through using claimyr.com and found out my refund was sent to a random account that wasn't mine! No idea how it happened since I triple checked my info before filing. They had to do a trace which took another 45 days. The system is completely broken.
