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!

Filed with TurboTax, DDD 4/15 with refund advance - anyone received theirs yet?

Filed my taxes through TurboTax in early March and opted for the refund advance. Got an accepted email within 48 hours. I checked my transcript yesterday and noticed I have a direct deposit date of 4/15. Has anyone who used TurboTax with the advance option received their refund yet? My status on the Where's My Refund tool still shows as 'approved' but the money hasn't hit my account. Starting to get nervous since I've got some bills coming due next week that I was counting on this money for.

Mason Davis

SBTPG (TurboTax's bank) is holding your money. They receive it from IRS, take out the fees and loan amount, then send the rest to you. Usually takes 1-2 business days after DDD. If it gets to be Thursday with no deposit, call them directly at 800-901-6663.

I spent DAYS trying to get through to the IRS about a similar issue (though mine was more complicated - had a freeze code on my account). Finally used Claimyr.com and got an actual IRS agent to call me back in less than an hour. They fixed my issue on the spot and my refund was processed right away. Saved me so much frustration.

I was skeptical too, but after wasting literally DAYS of my life trying to get through on my own, I was desperate. It worked exactly as promised - had an IRS agent on the phone within 45 minutes. My refund that had been stuck for months was released 2 days later.

When will I receive my state tax refund? Different timeline from federal?

I filed both my federal and state taxes on April 10th through TurboTax. I already got my federal refund about 2 weeks ago (it was $870) but still haven't seen anything from the state. My state refund is supposed to be around $350. The state website just says "processing" when I check the status. Is this normal? How long does it typically take for state refunds to come through compared to federal? I'm in Colorado if that makes any difference.

JaylinCharles

Call your state tax office. Seriously. sometimes theres a simple issue they need to resolve but they dont bother contacting you. I wasted 3 months waiting last year when a 5-minute phone call solved everything.

State refund already deposited on 3/15 but federal still showing as 'accepted' on TaxAct - what's happening?

I filed my taxes back on February 25th using TaxAct. My state refund was processed pretty quickly and got deposited to my bank account on March 15th. However, my federal return is still just showing as 'accepted' when I check the status on TaxAct. It's been almost 7 weeks now. When I try to check the Where's My Refund tool it just says my return is being processed and to check back later. Anyone know why there would be such a big difference between state and federal processing time? Should I be worried at this point? I was expecting to get both refunds around the same time.

Zoey Bianchi

Try downloading the IRS2Go app. Sometimes it has more updated info than the website. My WMR tool showed nothing but the app showed my direct deposit date.

PATH Act delay with EITC/ACTC - Filed early with 1/26 DDD but still no deposit

Filed my taxes on January 10th with turbo tax and got accepted same day. Had EITC and ACTC on my return so hit with the PATH act delay. Transcript finally updated last Saturday and shows a direct deposit date of January 26th but still no money in my account. Is anybody else with leadership bank waiting on deposits? Checked WMR and still says refund approved with deposit date of 1/26. Getting worried since its already been 3 days and my bank normally posts deposits early. Called my bank twice and they dont see anything pending.

Michael Green

I'm an accountant and see this all the time. The PATH Act (Protecting Americans from Tax Hikes) requires additional verification for returns with EITC/ACTC which is why there's that mid-February holdback period. Even after the hold is released, there can be delays. If you have a DDD on transcript (code 846), your money is coming - just be patient. The IRS sends the money through ACH which typically takes 1-5 business days depending on your bank.

If its leadership credit union they are notoriously slow with tax refunds. My cousin works there and says they intentionally hold them for a few extra days to "verify" or something. Try calling again and specifically asking if there's a hold for verification.

Federal refund delayed - still no money weeks after my DDD while state arrived on time

I'm getting really confused about why my federal refund is taking forever this year. I filed with turbotax like I've done for the past 4 years, and I always get my money in my bank account exactly on my direct deposit date. But this time around its been 16 days past my DDD and still nothing! What makes it more frustrating is that my state refund showed up even BEFORE the expected date. I checked my transcripts and everything looks normal with the correct codes. I've never had to track a refund or look up trace numbers before because the money just appeared like clockwork. Is anyone else experiencing these weird delays with federal refunds in 2024? Should I be calling the IRS at this point?

Ryder Ross

You need to start a trace. Call the IRS at 800-829-1040. But good luck getting through lol. I spent 4 days trying before I gave up and used claimyr.com to get a callback from an agent. Best decision ever - finally got my trace started and received my refund 2 weeks later. Found out they had sent my deposit to the wrong account even though my transcript showed everything was correct.

It was 100% worth it for me. I was going insane trying to reach someone, and they had me talking to an agent within 2 hours. Considering I was waiting on a $2700 refund that was stuck in limbo, getting actual help was priceless. They don't guarantee you'll get your refund issue resolved, just that you'll get to talk to a human at the IRS who can help.

What does trace number mean on IRS Get My Payment site? Shows 'funded to you' with a number

I checked my refund status on the IRS website yesterday and noticed there's a trace number under 'funded to you' section. Does anyone know what this means? Is this good news? My tax return was filed back in mid-February 2025 and I've been patiently waiting for over 2 months now. The amount shows $1,832 which is what I expected. Just wondering if the trace number means my refund is finally being processed or if I need to contact someone. Thanks in advance!

Shelby Bauman

So jealous. Im on week 11 with no updates, no trace number, nothing. Just "still processing" on repeat. Congrats on making it to the promised land!

Quinn Herbert

Different perspective - I'm a former IRS employee (not speaking officially). Trace number means your refund is finalized and in the disbursement stage. Your return has passed all verification processes and is now just in the queue for Treasury to cut the check or send the electronic payment. This is the final status before payment, so you're almost there.

0 coins

Quinn Herbert

The trace number itself doesn't tell you timing, it's just a unique identifier. But once you see it, direct deposits typically take 2-5 business days, paper checks 7-14 days. The actual timing depends on processing cycles and banking systems, not anything encoded in the trace number itself.

Refund just hit my account - never checked any transcripts - must've been DDD of April 20th?

Just got my tax refund deposited today! Filed through TurboTax and got accepted literally the first day of tax season (mid-February). Never bothered checking my transcripts or using WMR tool cause I figured it would come when it came. I'm guessing my direct deposit date must have been April 20th since that's when it hit my Chime account. Anyone else get their refund without ever checking all those transcript codes and stuff?

Anna Kerber

Its amazing how people get different processes. Mine got accepted 2/14, then sat with zero movement until 4/8 when suddenly all the codes appeared at once and I got my refund on 4/15. The IRS is wild.

That's actually a standard processing pattern called "bulk update." I learned that from taxr.ai - apparently the IRS batches certain returns together and processes them all at once.

TaxSlayer said my refund was deposited Monday but my bank shows nothing - anyone else?

I filed through TaxSlayer about 3 weeks ago and got accepted right away. My refund was supposedly sent via direct deposit on Monday according to the "Where's My Refund" tool, but there's absolutely nothing in my bank account. When I called the automated IRS refund hotline it just repeated the same info - that it was already deposited. My bank says they haven't received anything at all. It's now Thursday and I'm starting to get worried. Has this happened to anyone else recently? How long should I wait before calling the IRS directly?

Kaitlyn Otto

Could be one of a million reasons honestly. Do you have any offset debts (student loans, child support, state taxes)? Sometimes they take part of your refund for that but don't tell you clearly.

this happened to me two weeks ago!!! the IRS phone line is a joke so I used claimyr.com to get through after waiting for days. turns out they sent my direct deposit to the wrong account (typo in my return). the agent was able to cancel the wrong deposit and reissue to my correct account while i was on the phone. worth every penny to finally get answers and fix the issue.

IRS Direct Deposit finally hit my bank account after Chase said they had nothing pending

After almost 4 months of waiting for my tax refund, I just checked my Chase account and my direct deposit from the IRS has finally arrived! I actually called Chase yesterday afternoon because the IRS Where's My Refund tool updated saying my refund was sent, but the banker told me they didn't see any pending deposits in their system. I was starting to freak out thinking something went wrong. So for anyone still waiting - don't lose hope! Sometimes the bank doesn't show pending deposits but they still come through. Good luck to everyone still waiting on their refunds!

actually if your refund is significantly delayed (usually over 45 days from filing or april 15, whichever is later) the IRS does pay interest! check your transcript - you might have gotten a little extra

IRS Direct Deposit scheduled for 4/12 - Has anyone seen early deposits?

Just checked my transcript this morning and I got a DDD (direct deposit date) of 4/12 after waiting since February. Anyone else getting deposits early with their banks? Last year I remember Cash App users were getting theirs a day or two before the scheduled date. Wondering if I should expect the same this year or if I need to wait until the exact date. Anyone else with a mid-April DDD seeing movement already?

Paige Cantoni

My transcript is confusing AF. I have a DDD but also have some random code 570 that I dont understand. Is that gonna mess up my deposit date? Anyone know what that means?

I had the same issue and was super confused by all the different codes. Used taxr.ai and it explained everything about my transcript, including what the 570 meant in my specific case.

Worth every penny to finally get an answer instead of being in limbo!
