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!

Oh gosh, I've been through this exact situation! The 570 code with an 'as of date' usually means they're reviewing something specific on your return. Based on the timeline you've shared: - Paper filed on Jan 27th ✓ - Processing started Feb 4th ✓ - Current date is mid-March ✓ - As of date shows March 24th ✓ I'd expect one of two things to happen: 1. The hold resolves automatically (look for code 571 followed by 846 with your refund date) 2. You'll receive a letter requesting additional information Since it's been about 6 weeks since processing began, I'm worried you might be cutting it close for getting the refund by month-end. The fact that it's a prior year return (2021) filed on paper means it's likely going through additional verification. I'm feeling anxious for you because I know how important this is for your remote work setup!
I just went through something similar with my 2021 paper return! According to the IRS.gov website FAQ section (https://www.irs.gov/refunds/tax-season-refund-frequently-asked-questions), the 570 code means there's a temporary hold while they review something. In my case, they were just verifying my identity because I hadn't filed for a couple years. My timeline was: - Filed paper return on Dec 20, 2024 - Processing started Jan 15, 2025 - 570 code appeared Feb 10 with "as of date" March 5 - 571 code (hold released) appeared Feb 28 - 846 code with refund date appeared March 7 - Refund received March 12 Does anyone know if this sounds similar to what might happen with OP's return?

Have you considered the possibility of an ERS hold? Self-employment returns often get flagged for Error Resolution System review, especially with dependent-related credits. The Integrated Automation Technologies system might have your return in queue for manual verification. The transcripts showing blank with a March 24 date suggests possible IDRS cycle code assignment without transcript generation completion. Did you receive CP05 notice requesting additional verification?
I think everyone's overthinking this. Have you checked if your return is affected by the PATH Act? This happens with certain credits and causes a mandatory hold until mid-February. Did you claim EITC or ACTC with your dependents? Also, have you tried checking your account transcript instead of just the return transcript? Sometimes one updates before the other.

Did you file your return before March 1st? I'm curious because I've noticed a pattern where returns filed in February with verification requirements seem to have longer processing times compared to those filed in early March. Also, did the IRS employee who verified your identity mention anything about the specific type of verification code on your account? Some verification codes (like 5071C) clear faster than others (like 4883C).
Think of the IRS verification system like a traffic jam that's slowly clearing. The February filers are like cars stuck in the middle of the congestion, while March filers might be at the edges where things move a bit faster. Your 5071C verification is like having a special pass, but you still need to wait for the traffic controllers (IRS agents) to process it and wave you through. The good news is that once you're through that verification checkpoint, the rest of the journey should move at normal speed.
According to the IRS Operations page (https://www.irs.gov/newsroom/irs-operations), they're currently experiencing higher than normal verification processing times. The site states that February returns with identity verification requirements are taking 14-21 days to clear verification status, even after successful verification. I'm frustrated that they don't communicate this clearly in the verification letter or during the appointment. It creates unnecessary anxiety when people think something went wrong with their verification.
I might be able to provide some insight based on what I've observed. The IRS typically updates their transcript database on Thursday nights and sometimes on Sunday nights. If your verification was processed after the Thursday update cycle on March 7th, it's possible that your records might update this coming Thursday (March 14th). I would suggest checking your transcript on Friday morning, March 15th. I don't want to make any guarantees, but this pattern has been fairly consistent in my experience with the IRS processing cycles.

I think we've all been there with IRS calls... maybe try the lesser-known approach? Perhaps contact your local Taxpayer Assistance Center and schedule an in-person appointment? I'm not entirely sure, but I believe they might be able to help with refund status questions. Just be aware that you'll need to call the appointment line at 844-545-5640 to schedule, and appointments are typically available 30 days out. Might be worth considering if your issue is time-sensitive and you haven't had luck on the phone.
I work with tax issues daily and here's what actually works: 1. Call 800-829-1040 2. When prompted, press 2 for Spanish (even if you don't speak it) 3. When the Spanish menu begins, press 1 (this gets you to an English-speaking representative) 4. Press 3 for "other tax questions" 5. Press 2 for "all other questions" 6. When asked for SSN, DON'T ENTER ANYTHING 7. When prompted again, press 2 8. Press 4 for "all other inquiries" This bypasses the highest-volume queues. I got through in 20 minutes yesterday using this method. The representatives speak English regardless of which language queue you enter through.

Check your bank account, not TurboTax. TurboTax doesn't always update correctly. I filed March 2nd. My refund hit my account yesterday with no warning. WMR still shows processing. Transcripts updated last Friday. IRS doesn't follow their own timelines anymore.

In my experience with filing on March 1st for the past three tax seasons, there's a pretty consistent pattern. Last year I filed on March 1st and saw my refund exactly 17 days later. The year before was 21 days. This year I filed March 1st again and just got my deposit yesterday - so 20 days total. The community wisdom is that early March filers typically see 17-21 day processing times unless there are complications with credits or verification issues. Your state refund is definitely a good sign! I always tell friends that the transcript is your best friend during tax season - it updates way before WMR does.

•Thanks for sharing your experience. Is there a specific day of the week when refunds typically hit accounts? I've heard Wednesdays and Fridays are common deposit days.
