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 ā 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 PATH Act isn't just about timing - it's about the IRS's fraud prevention system. When you claim refundable credits like the Child Tax Credit, your return automatically gets flagged for additional verification regardless of when you file. The February 15th date is just when they're legally allowed to begin releasing refunds, not when they automatically do so for everyone. Some returns sail through right after the 15th while others face additional scrutiny.
I've been filing taxes with dependents for 8 years now, and I've tried filing at different times each year. In 2020, I filed January 31st and got my refund March 2nd. In 2021, I filed February 20th (after PATH lifted) and still got my refund March 5th. In 2022, I filed February 1st and got my refund February 28th. Last year, I filed February 18th and got my refund March 10th. This year I filed January 29th and just got my refund yesterday (March 2nd). My conclusion? There's minimal advantage to waiting, and the processing time varies year to year regardless of when you file.

PSA: Watch out for scams! There are a lot of fake 'identity verification' services out there trying to steal your info. ONLY use official .gov websites!

Be careful about reading too much into these dates. Last year I convinced myself that the "as of" date meant my refund was coming that week. Ended up making financial plans based on that assumption. Big mistake. The date changed three more times over six weeks before I actually got my money. Now I only trust the actual 846 refund issued code with a date - nothing else on the transcript is reliable for timing.

The IRS transcript is like a book written in two different languages simultaneously. The cycle code (05 in your case) is like the chapter structure - it tells you when new chapters might be added (weekly updates). But the "as of" date is more like a librarian's note about when they last checked the book - it doesn't actually tell you anything about the story itself. Most of us in this community have learned the hard way to focus on the cycle code and the actual transaction codes (like 570, 971, 846) rather than the "as of" date which is mostly internal IRS bookkeeping.

Anyone else feel like we need a complete overhaul of the tax system? This verification stuff is just a symptom of a bigger problem imho
Preach! š The whole system is so outdated and complicated
Yara Nassar
ā¢Careful, talk like that might get you audited šš

Hey OP, hang in there! I know it seems overwhelming, but take it one step at a time. You've got this! šŖ

Have you checked if there's been any identity theft? Sometimes scammers file false returns in your name, causing these kinds of issues.

ā¢You can request an Identity Protection PIN from the IRS website. It's a good way to protect yourself and it might reveal if there's been any suspicious activity on your account.

Plot twist: what if your tax company messed up? Might be worth getting a second opinion from another tax pro.
