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!

I've been tracking 570 code patterns on the r/IRS megathread since January, and there's definitely a correlation between verification timing and resolution. According to the data people have shared, those who verify in person (like you did) typically see resolution 7-21 days after verification, with the 570 code appearing midway through that process. The IRS website (https://www.irs.gov/refunds/tax-season-refund-frequently-asked-questions) doesn't explicitly state this pattern, but the community data strongly supports it. I'd expect your DDD to appear within the next 5-7 days based on hundreds of similar cases.

I think there might be some confusion about what the 570 code actually means in some cases. While it's often described as a "hold," it can sometimes be more of a processing indicator. In my somewhat limited experience with the tax system, I've noticed that the 570 code sometimes appears right before final processing rather than indicating a problem that needs resolution. It seems like your case probably falls into this category since you've already completed verification, which is usually the main hurdle that causes delays.

Review letter response times vary significantly based on the tax year and review type. On January 15, 2024, I received a review letter for my 2023 return. I submitted all documentation on January 22, 2024. My transcript updated on March 3, 2024, showing code 571 (review complete). Refund was issued on March 10, 2024. Total time from documentation submission to refund: 48 days. This aligns with the current IRS processing guidelines for 2024, which state 45-60 days for standard reviews. The processing center location also impacts timing - Midwest centers are currently processing faster than coastal centers.

Thank you for sharing those specific dates - that's really helpful for me to have a general idea. I'm in the Midwest too, so hopefully that works in my favor. I'll keep an eye out for that 571 code you mentioned!

OMG I'm going through this RIGHT NOW too! 😫 I got my review letter on April 2nd and sent EVERYTHING they asked for the very next day. Still NOTHING! I'm so stressed because I need this money for summer childcare deposits due by June 1st! Has anyone tried calling the Taxpayer Advocate Service instead of regular IRS? I heard they can sometimes help if you have a financial hardship situation? I'm afraid if I wait the full 60 days they're saying it might take, I'll lose my childcare spot!

I can give you a specific example from my experience this year. Filed Feb 10, got "processing" for exactly 21 days, then switched to "STILL processing" on day 22. Called IRS (after about 47 attempts, no joke) and they said my return was selected for a "random review" of my education credits. Nothing wrong, just verification. The "STILL" status lasted 18 more days, then changed to approved. So in my case, it was definitely a different processing stage, not just a word change! The IRS has a sense of humor though... "random" review, sure... πŸ˜‚

I've been tracking IRS language patterns on WMR for the past three tax seasons (yes, I'm that person who documents everything). According to the IRS website and my observations, "Your tax return is being processed" is the standard message during the normal 21-day window. The "STILL being processed" message explicitly indicates your return requires further review. The IRS knowledge base at https://www.irs.gov/refunds/tax-season-refund-frequently-asked-questions confirms this distinction. In my experience with both statuses, "being processed" resulted in refunds within 21 days, while "STILL being processed" extended to 6-8 weeks in most cases.

The community wisdom on 05 cycle codes is pretty consistent. Here's what typically happens: 1. Your cycle code appears on transcript (like 20240805) 2. The 846 refund issued code appears with a date 3. Money is sent to your bank on that date 4. Banks usually post funds same day or next day The good news is that once you see the 846 code with a date, you're essentially guaranteed to get your refund. The IRS is very reliable about sticking to those dates once they're posted to your transcript.

I've actually seen banks post the funds early sometimes. Chase and Capital One frequently deposit a day before the official date, while credit unions can vary. Bank of America and Wells Fargo tend to stick exactly to the DDD in my experience.

This is so helpful! I've been stressing about my refund for weeks. Just checked and I have the 05 cycle code too. Thank you for breaking it down so clearly!

One cautionary note: If you claimed certain credits like EITC or ACTC, be aware that even with a DDD, your refund might be subject to the PATH Act hold. I had a similar timeline to yours last year, got excited about seeing my DDD, but then had to wait an additional 2 weeks because the PATH Act prevents the IRS from issuing certain refunds before mid-February. Don't make financial commitments based on your expected refund date until the money is actually in your account.

Instead of waiting for WMR to update, I've had better luck checking my account transcript directly on the IRS website. The cycle codes tell you exactly when your return is being processed. For example, if you see cycle code 20240905, the 09 means it processed on the 9th week of the year, and the 05 means it's in the Thursday overnight cycle. Your deposit usually comes 5-8 days after that date. Much more accurate than the WMR tool.

Similar timeline here! My experience: β€’ Filed 1/31 β€’ Accepted 2/2 β€’ WMR stuck on first bar for 6 weeks β€’ No letters received β€’ Called IRS on 3/8 after transcript showed 570 code β€’ ID verified over phone β€’ DDD appeared 4 days later The agent mentioned they're requiring more verifications this year due to increased fraud attempts. Glad you finally got your DDD!

Did you possibly have any credits on your return? I'm wondering if my Child Tax Credit might be what's holding mine up? I'm approaching week 7 with no movement...

Thank you all for sharing these details! It's honestly such a relief to see I'm not alone in this frustrating process. I've been checking WMR and transcripts twice daily and driving myself crazy. At least now I know what to expect with the verification process!

I respectfully disagree with the previous comment. After trying for exactly 14 days straight (calling 8-12 times each day) and never getting through, I finally tried one of those paid services. It worked in precisely 47 minutes. When you calculate the value of your time (let's say conservatively at $15/hour) multiplied by the hours spent redialing (approximately 21 hours in my case), the $20 service fee is actually quite economical. I'm not saying it should be necessary, but given the current reality of IRS phone systems, it might be the most efficient option?

I've been dealing with IRS phone systems for years, and sometimes the Practitioner Priority Service line can work even for non-practitioners. Try 866-860-4259 and when prompted, select the option for tax professionals. You might get transferred a few times, but I've found agents are sometimes willing to help even when you're not a tax pro. I did this last year when my client's return was stuck in processing purgatory. Just be polite and explain your situation clearly.

According to IRM 21.4.1.3 (Return Processing Timeframes), what you're experiencing is completely normal. The address update in the transcript system indicates successful completion of the initial validation phase. Per IRS Publication 5344, taxpayer information such as address updates are processed through the Customer Account Data Engine (CADE 2) before the return itself is fully processed. The 'not filed' status will typically update within 5-7 business days following the address update, assuming no compliance flags are triggered. If you don't see a status change within 10 business days, you have the right under IRC Β§6501 to request a processing status update directly from the IRS.

I understand your concern about the transcript status. Based on what you've described, here's what's happening: β€’ Address updates often process separately from return status updates β€’ The system is acknowledging your new information (good sign) β€’ The "not filed" status will likely update within the next 7-10 days β€’ This pattern is especially common with address changes or newly married filing status changes Many of us have experienced this exact sequence, and it typically resolves itself without any action needed on your part. The fact that your new address is showing means your return is definitely in the system and being processed.

Your situation reminds me of what happened with earned income credit claims in 2022 - temporary freezes that resolved within 3-4 weeks. In comparison, mortgage interest verification tends to be faster than education credit verification but slower than basic income verification. The IRS has been particularly cautious with itemized deductions this year compared to last year. When I compare your timeline to others I've seen, you're still within the normal processing window for an 810 code, especially if you filed with itemized deductions in late February.

The community wisdom on 810 codes is pretty consistent - they usually resolve on their own within 2-3 weeks. Most people who call before that time just get told to wait. The IRS is overwhelmed this season with verification checks. While waiting is frustrating, it's usually the fastest path to resolution unless you hit the 21-day mark. Then it's definitely time to call. Make sure to check your mail daily for any notices, and don't ignore anything from the IRS even if your online transcript updates in the meantime.

I've been through this process for several years now. In my experience, the timing varies significantly depending on when in the tax season you file. Early filers (January/early February) typically see quicker turnaround after verification - about 10-14 days. Mid-season filers (late February/March) often wait 3-4 weeks. Last year, I had a client who verified in April and waited nearly 6 weeks for their Michigan refund. The state doesn't always follow their own published timelines, especially as they get backlogged later in the season.

Just FYI - MI Treasury has diff processing times based on whether u verified online or by mail. Online verification = ~2-3 wks. Mail verification = 4-6 wks min. Also matters if u had credits like EITC or property tax credit. Those take longer to process even after verification. Check ur status at michigan.gov/mytaxes for most accurate info.

I would approach this systematically: β€’ Print and save screenshots of the "Action Needed" message as documentation β€’ Call the specific Identity Verification number (800-830-5084) rather than the general IRS line β€’ Request that they specifically check the Taxpayer Protection Program database β€’ Ask for a "Case Research" to determine if your verification is stuck β€’ Inquire about getting a Taxpayer Advocate assigned if it's been more than 30 days I'm concerned that if this continues much longer, it could impact the timing of your refund issuance. The disconnect between systems is worrying and suggests your verification might be stuck in an administrative queue.

Louisa Ramirez

I went through this EXACT nightmare last year! The ID verification showed completed on my end but the IRS systems didn't update for almost 7 weeks. When will my refund actually process if the transcript still shows N/A? Did they give you any timeframe when you called? I need to know if I should keep calling them or just wait it out at this point.
