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!

Word of caution - don't keep checking your transcript multiple times a day like I did! š I literally made myself sick with anxiety checking every few hours. The system only updates once a day anyway (usually overnight), so checking more frequently won't help. Plus, in my case, nothing changed for weeks and then suddenly EVERYTHING updated at once. Set a reminder to check once a week and try to forget about it in between.

UPDATE: After 46 days with blank transcripts, mine finally updated last night! Filed Feb 3rd with EITC and Additional Child Tax Credit. Transcript now shows processing date of March 25th and DDD of March 28th. So there is hope! The system is moving, just very slowly. Hang in there - your update is coming soon!

Just got my refund yesterday after having the EXACT same situation! Had 846 code dated May 15th while still showing PATH verification on WMR. Money hit my account right on the 15th as scheduled. The PATH message is just a system lag - they forget to update that part sometimes. š Don't stress, your money is coming! Set your alarm for the 22nd and prepare for a slightly better bank balance that morning!

I just went through this entire process and can give you the exact timeline: Step 1: Filed amended return on January 3, 2024 Step 2: Checked WMAR tool weekly - showed "received" but nothing else Step 3: At week 10, called IRS and was told it was "in process" Step 4: At week 14, transcript updated with code 971 Step 5: At week 17, transcript showed code 290 (adjustment made) Step 6: At week 18, received letter confirming adjustment Step 7: At week 19, refund deposited Total time: 19 weeks from submission to refund The key for me was watching my transcript, not the WMAR tool. The transcript updates were the only reliable indicator of progress.
Thank you so much for this detailed breakdown! This is exactly the kind of real-world timeline I was looking for. Helps me set realistic expectations instead of checking every day and being disappointed.

ā¢Did you e-file or paper file your amendment? I've heard paper takes significantly longer but wasn't sure if that's still true with all the IRS system updates.

Three important factors affect amended return processing times. First, method of filing. E-filed amendments process faster. Second, complexity of changes. Investment income adjustments take longer. Third, time of year submitted. January-March submissions face longer queues. Current average processing time is 18-22 weeks. Check transcript weekly. Look for code 971. Then watch for code 290 or 570. Final step is code 846 for refund issued. Hope this helps.

ā¢Does the complexity factor apply to all investment income or specifically cryptocurrency? My amendment is for missed dividend income, not crypto.
Mei Liu
ā¢The complexity factor applies to all investment income adjustments, but cryptocurrency tends to trigger more thorough reviews because of the IRS's special compliance initiatives in that area. Regular dividend income amendments typically receive less scrutiny than crypto-related changes.

The Master File cycle codes are actually more complex than most people realize. The first digit (0 in both your cases) indicates the IRS processing center, while the second digit (5 or 2) indicates frequency. What's interesting is that the IRS sometimes shifts taxpayers between cycles to balance their processing load during peak filing season. I was surprised to learn that daily cycles don't always mean faster processing - it depends on the Transaction Code sequence and whether there are any pending Freeze Conditions on your account.
OMG this EXACT thing happened to me too!! Been 05 forever and suddenly 02 this year! I was freaking out thinking they were gonna audit me or something! But my refund actually came FASTER than usual this year, got it in 9 days instead of the usual 3 weeks! So honestly... maybe it's a good thing? š¤

I tracked exactly 142 tax returns last year as part of a research project (I work adjacent to tax preparation), and found that 37% of returns with EITC/ACTC had transcript updates exactly 21 days after acceptance, regardless of the PATH message appearing. Another 48% updated between days 22-28. Only 15% took longer than 28 days. The PATH message is just a notification layer on top of the actual processing system - the engine is still running even if the dashboard light isn't on.

Have you verified that you're actually subject to PATH this year? Did your AGI change significantly from last year? Are you claiming different credits than before? Sometimes people assume they'll be under PATH when their tax situation has actually changed enough to put them in a different processing category.
