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!

I filed 2/20 with TaxSlayer. Got my refund on 3/4 to my Chime account. Exactly the same experience as you. No fees taken out. Simple return with just W-2 income. No credits or deductions beyond standard. Chime always posts early when they get the notification from the federal reserve. Been using them for three years now just for this feature.

Be careful assuming everyone will have the same timeline! Last year I filed on 2/15, used TaxSlayer, had Chime, and still waited 47 days for my refund. Turns out there was an income verification issue that nobody told me about until I called after 6 weeks of waiting. My friend who filed the same day got hers in 2 weeks. The IRS works in mysterious ways, and just because one person gets a quick refund doesn't mean everyone will.

I successfully navigated this exact situation last month. Here's what worked for me: 1. Document the date and time TPG received your refund. 2. Take screenshots of your TPG account status page daily. 3. Call your bank to alert them of the incoming ACH deposit. 4. If not received by the promised date, call TPG with your documentation ready. 5. Request to speak with a supervisor if the first representative can't help. 6. Have your TPG account number and personal identification ready before calling. Following these steps, my funds were released exactly on schedule and my bank processed the deposit within hours of receiving it.

This is RIDICULOUS! š” Why do we have to jump through so many hoops just to get OUR money?! I'm shocked at how complicated they make this! Next year, I'm definitely choosing direct deposit straight from the IRS instead of letting it go through a third party. The extra days might not seem like much, but when you're waiting for YOUR money, every day feels like forever!

This is a common misunderstanding. TurboTax gives you an ESTIMATED deposit date based on normal processing times. It has no special insight into your actual IRS processing status. The transcript not showing your return yet is because there's a delay between IRS acceptance and transcript updates. This happens to thousands of filers every day. Your return is probably fine, just in the processing queue. Give it 3-5 more business days before worrying.
If the return was accepted but isn't showing on transcripts yet, would calling the IRS help at this point? Or would they just see the same information we can see online?

ā¢According to the IRS website at irs.gov/refunds, phone representatives won't have any additional information until 21 days after e-filing. I was in this exact situation last year and spent hours trying to get through on the phone only to be told they couldn't see anything more than what was showing online. I feel your pain with the uncertainty!
Think of it like checking your tracking number right after dropping off a package. The postal system knows it exists, but it hasn't been scanned at the first sorting facility yet. TurboTax is telling you they handed your return to the IRS (and the IRS accepted it), but the IRS hasn't fully processed it into their main system where transcripts live. This is totally normal this time of year when they're processing millions of returns.

According to IRS Publication 2043 (section 4.2), the Direct Deposit Date is when the IRS releases the funds to the financial institution, not necessarily when you'll receive them. When fees are deducted, your refund follows this path: 1. IRS sends to SBTPG (TurboTax's bank) 2. SBTPG deducts TurboTax fees 3. SBTPG sends remaining amount to your bank 4. Your bank processes the deposit This process typically takes 1-3 business days after your DDD. I'd recommend checking your SBTPG account at taxpayer.sbtpg.com to see the current status.
Last year I was in exactly the same boat - filed with TurboTax, had fees taken out, and my DDD was Feb 24th. The money didn't hit my bank account until Feb 27th, which was 3 days later. The delay happens because your refund doesn't go directly from the IRS to your bank - it goes: IRS ā SBTPG (TurboTax's bank) ā Your bank. Each step can take 24-48 hours to process. I remember checking my account literally every hour and driving myself crazy! The technical term for this is a "Refund Transfer Product" and it's how TurboTax can deduct their fees directly from your refund instead of charging your credit card upfront.
Is there any way to check the status with SBTPG directly? Do they have a tracking system or something?

ā¢Do credit unions process these faster than big banks? Wondering if that makes any difference.
Olivia Harris
According to IRS Publication 1345 (Rev. 1-2023), when a taxpayer selects a Refund Transfer product, the financial institution must make funds available within 5 business days after receipt from the IRS. Your son has grounds to file a complaint with the CFPB if it exceeds this timeframe. I recommend documenting all communication attempts with SBTG as evidence. Time is critical - file the complaint today at consumerfinance.gov/complaint/.

I was in the same boat last week - DD date of Feb 16 through SBTG and nothing for 8 days! š Called my bank thinking they were holding it, nope! Called the tax place, they just shrugged. Then suddenly on day 9 - BOOM - money appeared! No explanation, no warning, just magically showed up. The whole system feels like playing financial roulette sometimes. Hang in there, it's probably just days away!
