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!

Has anyone tried the new IRS Direct File system? I'm wondering if using that might give you access to support channels that regular filers don't have? I tried calling about my amended return recently and was shocked at how complicated it is just to speak with someone. The automated system seems designed to prevent human contact rather than facilitate it!
Have you considered whether your situation qualifies for assistance under IRC §7803(c), which established the Taxpayer Advocate Service specifically for cases where taxpayers are experiencing significant hardship? According to IRM 13.1.7.2, divorce-related tax issues can sometimes qualify, especially if there are potential financial consequences of delay. What specific divorce-related tax issues are you dealing with? The approach might differ depending on whether it's related to innocent spouse relief, dependency exemptions, or property transfers.

Getting your tax refund is like waiting for a package that has no tracking updates. You know it's coming, but the waiting feels like forever. Checking transcripts is like having the secret tracking number that actually works while everyone else is just refreshing the basic tracking page. Glad you found the shortcut!

I'm seeing a pattern with Child Tax Credit processing this year. Your transcript showing a Designated Disbursement Date (DDD) of 2/22 with a current-day transcript update indicates you're in Processing Cycle 202409. The Master File update likely occurred overnight in the Martinsburg Computing Center, but the Treasury Offset Program verification is still pending. This explains the retroactive date - you're seeing the intended deposit date rather than the actual one. Expect funds within 48-72 hours.

omg I'm literally in the EXACT same situation rn! First time w/ Drake + Serve card. Filed on 2/14, got my DDD of 3/15 this morning, and still waiting on state (filed in CA). My state was supposed to be here by 3/1 according to the estimate! I called Drake customer service yesterday and they said: 1) Fed refund should hit Serve card within 24-48hrs of DDD 2) They take the fees from federal ONLY 3) State refunds are taking longer this yr bc of increased fraud checks Hope this helps! Lmk when ur $ hits the card so I can compare!
This is really helpful info! Thank you for sharing what they told you directly. • Makes me feel better about my state delay • Good to know about the fee structure • 24-48 hours seems reasonable for the card deposit
My experience was similar to what they told you. Fees came from federal only, and my state refund arrived completely separate with no deductions. Drake seems more consistent with this approach than H&R Block, which took fees from my state refund last year since it arrived first.
Have you considered just using direct deposit to your bank account next year instead of the Serve card? I used to use those prepaid cards but the fees were ridiculous and timing was always a mystery. Most tax software now lets you pay the preparation fees separately (credit card, debit, or even from next year's refund) without requiring the prepaid card option. Might save you both money and stress for next tax season!

The consensus among most experienced filers here is that the transcript processing date is just the beginning of the actual processing. Those N/A boxes will typically update 7-14 days after that date appears. It's frustrating, but the IRS systems were designed decades ago and don't communicate with each other in real-time like modern systems. Just part of the annual tax season fun we all get to enjoy.

•This is correct. The IRS uses multiple database systems that don't always sync immediately. The master file (which controls your transcript) updates first, while the account display system (which controls those boxes) updates later. It's inefficient but normal.

•Does filing early in the season versus later affect how quickly these systems sync up? I've heard January/February filers often wait longer than March filers.

Great news! I just went through this exact situation and can tell you exactly what happens next. My transcript showed 2/12 as the processing date, top boxes stayed N/A for 9 days, then EVERYTHING updated at once on 2/21. Refund hit my account on 2/23! Based on your 2/26 date, you should see movement by this weekend or early next week. The system is working - it's just not very transparent about what's happening behind the scenes. Hang in there!

•Did you get any interim status updates on Where's My Refund during that waiting period, or did it just jump straight to approved/sent?

•Thank you for sharing this specific timeline! It's so helpful to see real examples with actual dates rather than just vague estimates. Makes the waiting game a little more bearable.
