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!

Have you checked if you even need to amend? The IRS website (https://www.irs.gov/taxtopics/tc502) has specific guidance on retirement plan loans. Did you take a qualified loan that you're repaying according to the terms? Or did you default on payments making it a deemed distribution?
Olivia Kay
ā¢I made this mistake last year. Thought I needed to amend when I got a 1099-R for a qualified loan. Spent hours preparing the amendment only to have my accountant tell me it wasn't necessary since I was repaying the loan according to terms. Check the distribution code in box 7 carefully!
Just to clarify, if Box 7 has code 'L' and you're repaying the loan according to terms, you typically don't need to report it on your tax return at all.
Jibriel Kohn
Did your 1099-R show a taxable amount in Box 1? And what's the distribution code in Box 7? This makes a huge difference in whether you need to amend.

I've become quite familiar with the IRS Master File System after dealing with amended returns. What's happening is your return has been accepted into the e-file database (SCRIPS) but hasn't yet been integrated into the main IRS Master File which populates your transcript. The weekly update cycle typically occurs on Fridays, with transcript updates appearing Saturday morning around 3-6am EST. For amended returns specifically, the IRS uses Form 1040X processing codes that don't appear until manual verification is complete. I'd recommend checking your transcript this Saturday morning - that's when the TC150 posting (tax return filed) would appear if your return has moved through the queue.
Elijah Brown
ā¢This is exactly the kind of specific information I've been looking for. Thanks for sharing your knowledge!
Just to be clear - are you saying we should specifically look for a TC150 code as the first sign that our return is in the system?
Natalie Chen
Let me clarify something important: the "accepted" message you received on 1/30 only means your return passed the initial validation checks and was received by the IRS. It does NOT mean processing has begun. Here's what happens next: 1. Your return sits in a queue waiting for actual processing to begin 2. Once processing starts, your transcript will update with a TC150 code 3. If you amended something, it goes through additional verification steps 4. Transcripts typically update weekly, usually overnight Friday into Saturday 5. The first update will show your return was filed and initial processing status This is completely normal, especially during peak filing season with amended returns.

Filed January 30th. No updates. Checked transcript. Nothing. Called IRS. On hold forever. Finally got through. They said wait. Still waiting. Day 24 now. Getting worried. Need this refund soon. Mortgage payment coming up.
According to the IRS website at https://www.irs.gov/refunds, most refunds are issued within 21 days of acceptance. However, my experience with January 30th filing this year was much different. I received no confirmation email from TurboTax initially, but when I logged into my TurboTax account and checked my filing status, it showed my return was accepted on February 2nd. My transcript became available on February 18th, and my refund was deposited on February 25th. If you haven't already, I recommend checking your account online rather than waiting for an email, and also requesting your tax transcript online which often updates before WMR does.
Micah Trail
ā¢I'm impressed with your detailed tracking. Is requesting a tax transcript something anyone can do? I've been trying to check my status through the IRS2Go app as per Publication 5348, but it keeps showing the same message for weeks now.

I filed on January 23rd, 2024 and was accepted on January 24th, 2024. My WMR showed 'STILL processing' from February 15th until March 22nd. Exactly 58 days from acceptance to deposit. I tracked every status change. The transcript updated on March 18th with an 846 code dated March 22nd. The money hit my account at 3:17 AM on March 22nd. Independent contractor returns take longer this year because of increased fraud prevention measures implemented on January 16th, 2024.
Leo Simmons
The collective wisdom around here is that 'STILL processing' indicates your return has been selected for manual verification, which is extremely common for Schedule C filers. The automated fraud detection system (EFDS) and the Return Review Program (RRP) algorithms flag approximately 35% of all self-employment returns for additional scrutiny. Most people see their status resolve within 45-60 days without any issues. The key is to monitor your transcript for movement rather than WMR, as the transcript will show actual processing codes while WMR often lags behind.
Alexander Evans
This is normal behavior. Different IRS systems. Different update schedules. Acceptance happens first. WMR updates later. Try checking tax transcripts instead. More reliable. Usually updates faster. Don't worry unless it's been 7+ days. Peak filing season causes delays.

This happened to me earlier this tax season and I completely freaked out! I filed on February 2nd and my software (FreeTaxUSA) immediately showed 'accepted' but WMR showed nothing for almost a week. I was convinced my return had disappeared into some IRS black hole. Called the IRS every day but couldn't get through. Finally on day 6, WMR suddenly updated with the first bar. Got my refund about 2 weeks after that. The anxiety was awful though - I kept imagining I'd have to refile or that there was some huge problem.

ā¢Thank you for sharing this! It's really reassuring to hear others had the same experience. Would you say it's pretty much guaranteed that WMR will eventually update if the tax software shows accepted? I'm on day 4 of waiting and getting nervous...

ā¢What was your processing time from when WMR finally showed the first bar until deposit? Did you have any additional verification steps or identity confirmation requirements during that period?
