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 the IRS systems are SO FRUSTRATING! š” After hours of research, I found that this is actually quite common this year. The IRS implemented new database systems for 2024 and there are significant sync delays between their e-file approval system and the transcript database. TurboTax and other filing services connect to the e-file approval system, which is why they show updates first. If you have a specific deposit date, that's actually the most reliable indicator! The transcript will likely appear 2-3 days before your deposit hits. Hang in there! šŖ

ā¢Thank you so much for this information! I've been stressing for days about the same issue. This community is so helpful!
This happened to me too! My transcript finally showed up just ONE DAY before my deposit hit my account. The funny thing is, my refund was actually slightly higher than what TurboTax estimated because of interest they added for the processing time.
I think what's happening is that TurboTax is showing the acknowledgment from the IRS that they received your return and it passed initial validation, but the actual processing might still be ongoing. Have you checked the Where's My Refund tool directly on IRS.gov? That's often more accurate than third-party software status. Does it show the same approval and date?

Your timeline matches what we're seeing this tax season. I received my refund on February 21st after filing on January 27th with similar credits. The IRS began processing EIC and CTC returns on February 15th this year, and they're moving through batches quickly. Based on the data patterns, Venmo deposits are consistently arriving 1-2 days before the official DDD for most filers. If anyone filed around January 28-30 with similar credits, you should see deposits between February 22-24.

Be careful using payment apps for tax refunds. According to IRS Publication 1345 Section 5.2, the IRS isn't responsible for misdirected deposits if account information is entered incorrectly. I've seen cases where refunds were sent to closed or incorrect accounts, resulting in 6+ month recovery processes. While Venmo is generally reliable, their customer service has limited ability to trace government payments compared to traditional banks. Always verify your direct deposit information before filing!

Have you checked your Account Transcript specifically, or just your Return Transcript? The TC 150 posting with the cycle date is what you need to monitor. Also, are you seeing any Transaction Codes like 570/971 combination or just the basic processing codes?

I've been tracking the IRS processing patterns since January 29th when filing opened, and there's definitely a pattern with cycle 05 this year. The batch processing for 05 cycles from weeks 4-6 (late January/early February filers) is moving significantly slower than weeks 7-10. If you filed on January 29th as you mentioned, you're in that slower early batch. Most of those are updating between March 21st and April 4th based on the data I've been collecting.

The community consensus seems to be that the IRS is processing returns faster this year compared to the previous two filing seasons. Many early February filers are reporting 15-21 day turnaround times. However, there are always outliers - some get processed very quickly while others take longer due to various verification processes. The most reliable indicator is checking your account transcript rather than relying on the Where's My Refund tool, as transcripts typically update overnight on Thursdays/Fridays for many filers.
Filed 2/13 and just got my deposit yesterday. Isn't it weird how some returns zip through the system while others crawl? My transcript showed absolutely nothing until Tuesday when suddenly all the codes appeared at once - 150, 570, 571, and 846 all on the same day. Who knows why mine processed faster than others? Maybe because I had almost identical info to last year? Maybe because I didn't claim any credits? Maybe just pure luck of which processing center got my return?
Man, I appreciate hearing real experiences like this. Makes me feel less crazy for obsessively checking my transcript every morning at 6am š Guess the IRS just works in mysterious ways. Here's hoping mine follows your pattern!

Looking at the bigger picture here - has anyone considered that this might actually be faster in some cases? When the 5-day advance gets canceled, SBTPG sometimes processes more quickly because they're not doing the advance loan paperwork. Got my refund in 2 days after IRS approval last year when my advance was canceled. Anyone else notice this trend?

SBTPG has a status tracker. Use it. Enter your info. Check daily. Mine showed "unfunded" until IRS sent payment. Then "funded" status appeared. Money arrived next day. System works predictably despite the cancellation. Keep monitoring both WMR and SBTPG sites. Updates happen overnight usually.
