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 your tax transcript instead of relying on WMR? The transcript often updates before WMR does and provides more detailed information. Could your return have any potential flags that might trigger additional review? Sometimes even small discrepancies between what employers reported and what you claimed can cause delays. I've found that creating an online account with the IRS and checking transcripts weekly gives much better insight than the WMR tool.

Does your transcript show any specific cycle codes? Those might indicate when your return will be processed. Also, have you received any notices in the mail from the IRS? Sometimes they send verification requests that don't show up on the online systems right away.

Don't worry too much about this! I'm seeing this pattern all over the forums right now. The IRS batch processing system is working through a backlog, but they're still on schedule. I'm so relieved every time I see someone post about receiving their refund even when their transcript didn't update until the last minute. Trust the process date more than the transcript updates - they're often accurate even when the visual systems lag behind.

ā¢This is exactly what happened to me! My transcript never updated but the money showed up in my account exactly when the IRS agent said it would. The online systems are definitely not in sync with the actual payment system.
Is there any way to tell if you're in that 8% with verification holds? How would you know if there's a problem versus just the normal delay?

According to the IRS Processing Cycles documentation (https://www.irs.gov/irm/part3/irm_03-012-003r), cycle code 0505 indicates your return was processed on the 5th workday of the week (Friday) in the 5th cycle of the year. The transcripts typically update overnight Thursday to Friday, but system delays can cause a lag between actual processing and transcript visibility. Your direct deposit should still follow the timeline provided by the IRS representative, regardless of transcript status.

I'm not convinced your tax preparer is giving you the best advice here. Switching payment methods this close to your DDD is risky for several reasons: ā¢ The IRS doesn't process these changes quickly ā¢ Paper checks take longer to arrive by default ā¢ Any change could trigger additional verification ā¢ Your refund could end up in limbo between systems Why would your preparer suggest this now rather than when you filed? Seems like an unnecessary complication.
Owen Devar
Stick with direct deposit. Paper checks take longer. Always. IRS doesn't prioritize paper checks. They go out in batches. Direct deposit hits your account same day as DDD. Paper checks can take 1-3 weeks after DDD. Trust me on this. Been doing taxes for 12 years.

I recommend a different approach based on my experience. On February 23rd, I had the same codes with dates of 2/5 and 2/12, but no 846. Instead of calling, I checked my account transcript (not just return transcript) on March 2nd and noticed a pending refund date had appeared there first, before my return transcript updated on March 4th. The 846 code showed up last. Try checking your account transcript daily around 3-4am Eastern time when the system updates.
The community wisdom on this is pretty consistent - the 0405 code is part of normal processing but international returns have additional scrutiny under IRC Section 6103(h)(4) provisions. Per the Internal Revenue Manual 3.11.3.8.7, international returns may require additional identity verification steps that aren't required for domestic filers. I'm a bit worried about my own return (filed March 1st) since I'm also new to the US tax system, but everything I've read suggests patience is key here.

Been thru this rodeo b4. Got my advance from JH on Jan 18, DDD was 2/22, and refund finally hit my acct today (2/24). They take extra time to make sure they got their money back + fees. NBD but super annoying when ur counting on that $$$. My transcript showed refund issued but took 2 extra days to actually show up. Same thing happened last yr.

ā¢This matches what I've seen too. I think they build in a buffer time to process everything, but don't communicate it clearly. People expect it on the exact date and then panic when it's not there immediately.

For anyone still waiting, this is completely normal with refund advances. The process works like this: IRS sends your refund to the financial institution that gave you the advance ā They verify and deduct their loan amount and fees ā Then they forward the remainder to your personal account. This additional step typically adds 1-3 business days beyond your DDD. If it's been more than 5 business days since your DDD, then you should contact both the financial institution and the tax preparer.
