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 received any letters or notices from the IRS? Sometimes they send a letter requesting additional information but don't update the online systems right away. Also, did you check both account transcript and return transcript? Sometimes one will update before the other.

The N/A transcript with a processing delay message is a classic indicator of a CP05 review. This is an automatic compliance check where the IRS verifies income, withholding, and credits claimed. The cycle typically takes 45-60 days from filing date. Your 'as of date' of 4/26 aligns with this timeframe from your 1/29 submission.

Let me explain how the SBTPG process actually works, since there's a lot of misinformation: Step 1: IRS approves your refund and assigns a DDD (in your case 2/22) Step 2: IRS releases funds to SBTPG (usually midnight of your DDD) Step 3: SBTPG verifies the amount matches what they expected Step 4: SBTPG deducts their fees and TurboTax fees Step 5: SBTPG initiates ACH transfer to your bank/Cash App Step 6: Your bank/Cash App processes the incoming ACH Cash App is typically faster at Step 6 than traditional banks. Some people get lucky and SBTPG processes them a day early, but don't count on it.
Warning from someone who's been through this: Never pay TurboTax fees from your refund if you can avoid it! I paid $39 extra last year for the "privilege" of having SBTPG hold my money for 2 extra days. This year I paid TurboTax directly with a credit card and my refund came straight from IRS to my bank - got it 3 days BEFORE my official DDD! The SBTPG middleman just adds delays and their website never shows accurate info. Check https://igotmyrefund.com/forums for real-time reports from others with your same DDD.

The IRS website actually has a page that explains these transcript codes: https://www.irs.gov/individuals/understanding-your-tax-record. The 570 is definitely a hold, but it's often temporary. You can also check the Tax Time Guide on IRS.gov which mentions that many returns this year are being selected for additional review due to identity theft prevention measures. Most of these reviews are resolved automatically without any action needed from you.

This identity verification process is much more streamlined now compared to 2022. Back then, it would take 3-4 months after verification to get a refund. Now most people see movement within 2-3 weeks. Unlike the amended return process, which still takes 6+ months, the identity verification pathway is relatively quick. Similar to how the CP14 notice resolution improved this year, the identity verification process has been optimized as well. If you're coming from a divorce situation like I did, make sure all your personal information matches exactly across all documents.
Thank you for sharing this comparison! I was dreading a months-long wait after reading older posts. It's reassuring to hear the process has improved since 2022.
When you say 'movement within 2-3 weeks,' do you mean seeing updates on the transcript or actually receiving the refund? My transcript has been showing codes 570/971 for weeks now without any change.
I got the verification letter in February. Completed it online immediately. Checked WMR daily. Nothing changed for two weeks. Then suddenly updated to approved. Got my direct deposit three days later. Total time was 16 days from verification to deposit. The online process was simple. Took about 10 minutes. Needed my ID and cell phone. Used ID.me system. Much better than calling.
Did you have to create a new ID.me account? I already have one for VA benefits but I'm not sure if it's the same system or if I'll need to make a new one specifically for the IRS verification?
Thanks for sharing your timeline. I completed my verification about a week ago but haven't seen any updates yet. The IRS agent told me it could take up to 9 weeks, but your experience gives me hope it might be faster. Did your transcript update before WMR showed the approval?

I'm actually going through a similar situation right now! I checked the wrong box on my grad school financial aid form in March. I'm feeling so anxious about it! What worked for me was: 1) Email financial aid office immediately with subject line "URGENT: Tax Filing Status Correction" 2) Call them daily until you speak to someone 3) Submit a formal correction request through their system 4) Provide a copy of your tax return or IRS transcript as proof 5) Get written confirmation they've updated your record. Don't just assume they'll fix it! I'm still waiting for mine to be fully resolved but at least they've acknowledged the issue.

I fixed a similar mistake last year. Here's what worked: got my tax transcript from IRS.gov, highlighted the filing date, wrote a brief explanation letter, submitted both to financial aid office, followed up with a phone call 3 days later. They fixed it in their system within 24 hours of my call. No penalties. No delays in my aid. The key was providing clear documentation and being persistent with follow-up. Don't just send an email and hope for the best - make sure a human actually reviews your correction request.

ā¢This is really helpful information. Did they require any specific format for the explanation letter or was it just informal?

ā¢Did you have to go through the formal correction process on the FAFSA website first, or did you work directly with your school's financial aid office?
