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!

I would say that, in my experience, transcript updates typically take around 3-4 weeks during peak filing season, though it might possibly be longer depending on various factors. The IRS seems to prioritize actual return processing over updating their information systems, which is probably a reasonable approach given their limited resources. If you're concerned about your business financing, you might want to contact your lender to see if they'll accept alternative documentation temporarily.
OMG I was literally in the SAME situation last year and it was so stressful! I needed my tax info for a mortgage application! What worked for me was going to my local Taxpayer Assistance Center - I made an appointment online and brought my filing confirmation. They printed a statement confirming my return was in processing which my lender accepted! Might be worth trying if your loan timeline is tight!

Be careful assuming everything is fine. I had a similar situation last year and it turned out there was an issue: ā¢ My return was accepted on 1/28 ā¢ Transcript showed no filing for 6 weeks ā¢ WMR just said "still processing" ā¢ Eventually received a letter requesting identity verification ā¢ Took another 8 weeks after verification to get my refund Not trying to alarm you, but "acceptance" only means the return passed basic validation checks. It doesn't mean everything is proceeding normally. I'd suggest checking WMR daily and watching your mail carefully for any notices. The IRS is notoriously slow at updating their systems to reflect actual status.

Just to provide some hope - I filed on January 23rd (exactly 1 day before you) and had the exact same issue. My transcript showed no record of filing for precisely 32 days. Then on February 24th, everything updated at once and my refund was deposited 6 days later. The system is definitely backed up this year, but as long as you have your acceptance confirmation, you should be fine. For what it's worth, my filing status also changed this year (from HoH to MFJ) and I suspect that triggered additional verification. The transcript lag seems to be affecting exactly 36% of early filers based on the poll in another thread.

According to the IRS website, Direct File is still in pilot mode for 2024 and only available in 12 states. Have you checked if your state is even eligible? I was all ready to try it but then discovered my state isn't participating yet. Maybe look into Cash App Taxes? I've seen Reddit threads saying it handles gig work well and it's completely free. The TurboTax upsells drove me crazy too.

ā¢I was in the same boat last April - waited until the last minute and discovered my state wasn't eligible for Direct File. Ended up using Cash App Taxes and it was surprisingly good with my DoorDash income. Filed on April 14th and still got my refund by early May!
Cash App Taxes (formerly Credit Karma Tax) utilizes Form 1040 Schedule C for self-employment income, which is appropriate for rideshare and delivery gig work. It allows for business expense deductions including mileage (using the standard mileage rate of $0.67/mile for 2024), vehicle expenses, phone costs, and other business-related expenditures. Their interface walks through each category systematically. One limitation: it doesn't handle multiple Schedule C businesses as elegantly as some paid options.

Direct File works for simple returns. Not ideal for gig workers. Limited deduction options. No state returns in most places. Better options exist for your situation. Stick with what you know.

According to Internal Revenue Code Section 6402(m) and the Protecting Americans from Tax Hikes Act of 2015 (PATH Act), the IRS is REQUIRED to delay these refunds, but that doesn't mean you should delay filing. The problem is the IRS's implementation of these requirements creates unnecessary complications. Their systems flag approximately 35% of EIC/CTC returns for manual review even when there are no actual issues. This is inefficient and creates artificial delays beyond what the law requires. I've analyzed the IRS Data Books from 2018-2022, and the audit rate for returns with these credits is 1.4% - but the manual review rate is 25 times higher!

I've been filing with both credits for 7 years now, and I've developed a system that works every time. I gather all my documents by January 20th, double-check everything twice, file electronically the first week of the season, and always get my refund the last week of February. Last year I filed on February 2nd and had my refund on February 28th. The year before, I filed January 29th and got it February 26th. The PATH Act delay is annoying but predictable. Just make sure your information matches what the IRS already has on file to avoid verification delays!
Do you use a specific tax preparer or software? I'm wondering if some options process faster than others when it comes to these credits.

Got my AZ refund last wk - $188 for MFJ w/ ~90k income. Fed was $2100+. AZ's flat tax system makes small refunds totally normal. Btw, they're super fast w/ processing - filed 3/15, DD hit 3/29. The ADOR website is actually decent for checking status too.

ā¢The Arizona Form 140 instructions specifically state that the average processing time for e-filed returns with direct deposit is 8-12 business days, which aligns with your experience. The state's implementation of the flat tax rate of 2.5% (reduced from 2.98% in 2022) has actually streamlined processing considerably compared to prior years.

ā¢Did you have to do anything special to get your refund that quickly? I filed on 3/20 and still waiting... starting to worry something's wrong with my return. Is there a specific status page for Arizona refunds like the Where's My Refund tool for federal? š¬

According to the ADOR website (https://azdor.gov/individual-income-tax-information), Arizona's average refund for 2023 tax year is around $200 for individuals and $250 for joint filers. Your $174 is within normal range. The AZ Department of Revenue has a refund status checker at https://aztaxes.gov/Home/CheckRefund that usually updates within 5-7 days after filing. I'm slightly concerned it might take longer this year since we're getting closer to the April 15 deadline.
