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!

OMG I went through this EXACT same situation in February!! I was so stressed about it but it actually worked out fine! š I filed on Feb 2nd and got a surprise W2 on Feb 9th for a small job I'd completely forgotten about. I freaked out thinking I'd get in trouble, but I called TurboTax support and they were super helpful. They told me to wait until my original refund came through (took 14 days) and then do the amendment. The amended return was actually pretty simple through TurboTax - it pulled all my original info automatically. I did end up owing $127 but at least there were no penalties since I fixed it right away!

My cousin thought amending was no big deal and just ignored a missing 1099 last year. It's like thinking you can ignore a small leak in your roof - eventually it causes major damage. The IRS caught it during their automatic matching process and he ended up with a $2,200 tax bill that included the original tax plus penalties and interest. He also got flagged for extra scrutiny on this year's return. I'd recommend your boyfriend handle this ASAP, especially with a military move coming up. The last thing he needs is mail from the IRS going to an old address while he's in the middle of a PCS.

I've tracked PATH release patterns for the past four tax seasons (I know, I need better hobbies š). When Feb 15th falls on a weekend, the IRS actually begins processing the backlog Friday night around 11pm EST. Their mainframe batch processing runs overnight, with most transcript updates appearing between 3-6am Saturday. The first direct deposits typically hit credit unions and online banks Tuesday, with major banks following Wednesday. The funny part? WMR often doesn't update until days after your money is already in your account - it's like getting a notification that your pizza has been delivered after you've already eaten it.

Based on previous years' patterns, the IRS will begin processing PATH Act returns on February 15, 2025, regardless of it being a Saturday. Their systems operate 24/7 even when staff aren't present. Most transcripts will update between February 15-17, with the first batch of direct deposits hitting accounts by February 19-20. I'd recommend checking your transcript daily starting February 15, specifically looking for Transaction Code 846 which indicates your refund has been scheduled. The processing date attached to that code will be your deposit date.

Same boat here. Filed February 5th. Waited three weeks for acceptance. Need my refund bad. Planning home repairs. Every day checking WMR. Nothing changes. Called IRS twice. No help. Just told to wait.
Yara Nassar
OMG I'M FREAKING OUT waiting for my refund too!!! But the community wisdom here is that we ALL need to chill out! Every year people panic about slow processing, and every year 99% of returns eventually process fine. The IRS is dealing with outdated systems, budget cuts, and millions of returns. Unless you get an actual letter from them, assume everything is fine but slow. I've been filing for 15+ years and NEVER had a return not process eventually!

I'm a tattoo artist too. Filed my taxes last year. Got the Child Tax Credit. Claimed my business expenses. Received a nice refund. Used TurboTax Self-Employed. It walked me through everything. Wasn't that complicated. Just needed my 1099s and expense receipts. Definitely worth doing.
Would your friend possibly qualify for the Earned Income Credit as well? I believe the income thresholds are somewhat higher for those with qualifying children, aren't they?
I had no idea the income limits were that high! I thought EIC was only for people making under $25,000 exactly. I've been missing out on claiming this for my 4-year-old for the past 2 years! š±
While the EITC thresholds appear generous, be aware that phaseout ranges significantly reduce the credit amount at higher income levels. Many self-employed individuals with substantial net earnings may find their actual EITC benefit minimal despite technically qualifying based on AGI parameters.

I'm not sure about these third-party services for contacting the IRS. There are a few things you should try first: ā¢ Check your e-file confirmation from your tax software ā¢ Verify the exact refund amount to the penny (not rounded) ā¢ Try the IRS2Go app instead of the website ā¢ Wait 24-48 hours and try again The IRS systems update overnight, so continuous checking won't help. Also, be careful about sharing any personal info with non-IRS services.

I understand the skepticism, but on February 8th I was in the exact same situation - filed on January 24th and WMR kept giving me the error message. After trying for days and getting nowhere, I used Claimyr and it worked exactly as described. They don't ask for any personal information - they just connect you to the IRS phone system without you having to do the redial-for-hours dance. I totally get being cautious with tax matters, but this service literally just helps you get through the phone tree faster.
