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 – 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!

Don't expect the full $2500 deduction to translate to $2500 more in your refund. That's not how deductions work. It just reduces your taxable income. If you're in the 22% bracket, that's only about $550 more in your pocket. Ask yourself if it's worth the hassle and potential delays for that amount.
I've amended three returns. All for missed deductions. Process is straightforward. Use same software as original return. Enter correct information. Software calculates difference. Submit electronically. Wait patiently. Tracking is available online. My last amendment took 14 weeks. Worth it for the extra $680 I received. Just make sure your documents match what you're claiming.

Has anyone actually confirmed if the January 27th date was significant this year? I'm fascinated by how the IRS prioritizes returns! Did you notice any pattern with your processing compared to friends or family who filed at different times?
My sister and I both filed on the same day (Jan 24) with almost identical situations and she got her refund last week while I'm still waiting. Makes ZERO sense!
I've noticed that returns with W-2 income only seem to process faster than those with self-employment or investment income, regardless of filing date. Has that been your experience too?
Just to clarify what's happening with the 2024 tax filing season: The IRS officially began accepting returns on January 22nd, 2024. Any returns received before the processing date (January 29th this year) were held in a queue. Being in this early queue can sometimes mean faster processing, but it's not guaranteed. I filed on January 23rd and got my refund on February 12th, while my husband filed on February 1st and is still waiting. The system prioritizes different returns based on multiple factors beyond just submission date.

Based on the information provided, you're experiencing what's commonly referred to as a "split refund" situation. According to Internal Revenue Manual section 21.5.6, the IRS may release the undisputed portion of a refund while holding the remainder for examination. This typically occurs when certain schedules or credits trigger verification filters. For independent contractors with substantial refund claims, Schedule C expenses frequently trigger these reviews under compliance initiative projects (CIPs) authorized under IRC §6201. I would recommend checking your transcript for Transaction Code 570 (refund hold) followed by TC 971 with a specific action code. If you see AC 05, that indicates a potential examination is underway. Be cautious about making financial commitments based on the expected remainder until you receive formal notification about the review's completion.
Has anyone asked you about past tax issues or debts? Sometimes when there's a huge difference like that, it could be an offset for back taxes, student loans, child support, or other government debts. The $500 might be what's left after they took payment for something else. (Although that would be one heck of a debt to reduce $10k to $500! 😬) Have you checked the BFS Treasury Offset Program online to see if you have any debts in the system?

OMG I was literally freaking out about this SAME THING yesterday!!! My refund is supposed to hit tomorrow but my transcript still shows N/A and I was convinced something was wrong! After panicking for hours, I finally found the solution: The transcript system updates on a completely different schedule than the Where's My Refund tool. As long as you have a DDD on WMR, you're good! Your refund will most likely arrive as scheduled, and your transcript will probably update a few days AFTER your refund is deposited. The IRS basically has different computer systems that don't talk to each other very well. Just keep checking your bank account on your DDD - that's what matters most right now!
NGL, same thing happened to me last month. Had a DDD of 3/15, transcript was MIA until 3/18. IRS systems are weird AF - the WMR tool and transcript database don't sync in real-time. My $ hit my acct exactly on the DDD date even tho my transcript was still showing zilch. Don't sweat it unless your DDD comes and goes w/no refund. Then it's time to worry lol.

I might be in a similar situation, I think? I sort of received a letter about possible verification issues, but I'm not entirely sure if it's the same thing you're describing. Instead of waiting for the verification process, I went ahead and created an ID.me account and verified my identity proactively through the IRS online portal. It seemed to possibly help speed things up? My return was processed about a week later, though I can't be completely certain if that's what made the difference.

•Interesting approach with the proactive verification. Did you have to upload any specific documents when you did this? And did you receive any confirmation that this satisfied their verification requirements?

I successfully navigated through this exact situation last month. After checking the IRS2Go app daily with no updates, I finally found the right process. I submitted the requested verification documents (unexpired ID, Social Security card, and utility bill) through the secure portal link in the letter. Verification completed in 9 days, and my refund was deposited exactly 11 days after that. Make sure you're using the official verification portal at https://idverify.irs.gov and not responding to any emails claiming to be from the IRS.
