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!

According to the Internal Revenue Manual section 21.4.6, refund offsets are processed through the Treasury Offset Program (TOP) as authorized under IRC §6402. The contact number is indeed 800-304-3107 as others have mentioned. One important point: if you discover the offset is for a student loan and you're experiencing financial hardship, you may qualify for the Total and Permanent Disability discharge or income-driven repayment plans that could potentially release the offset. This is specifically outlined in 34 CFR §685.209.
Has anyone mentioned whether there's a timeframe for how quickly you can get information after calling the offset line? I'm wondering about: • How long the automated system takes to provide offset details • Whether they send any documentation by mail after you call • If there's a waiting period before you can dispute an offset • Whether calling multiple times might flag your account in some way

The PATH Act's impact on refund timing is often misunderstood. The mandatory hold only applies to returns with EITC or ACTC filed before mid-February. The delays April filers experience are due to normal processing queue dynamics. The IRS utilizes a Master File processing system that operates on weekly cycles. When you're assigned cycle code 20241605, the "05" indicates Friday processing, while "2024" is the year and "16" is the processing week. Many April filers receive cycle codes ending in 05, placing them in the Friday batch, which typically means refunds are issued the following Wednesday.

I work in the financial services industry and deal with this question frequently. Last tax season, I had a client who added his nephew as a dependent after gaining custody. His return was selected for additional verification, but here's the important part: he received his refund in 24 days despite the extra scrutiny. The key was that he had properly documented the relationship and residency requirements before filing. Another client with similar circumstances but incomplete documentation waited over 90 days. The difference wasn't the new dependent itself but the supporting documentation.
I added my father as a dependent on February 3rd, 2024, and received my refund on March 1st, 2024. That's 27 days total, which is about 10 days longer than my refund took last year without the new dependent. The IRS did send me a letter dated February 18th requesting verification, which I promptly provided on February 20th. Based on my experience and what I've seen with friends in similar situations, I'd say expect an additional 1-3 weeks beyond normal processing time, but it's not the months-long delay some people fear.

I'm not sure these services are necessary for most people. The IRS has clear guidelines on their website about required forms. Most tax software will also guide you through what documents you need based on your situation. Paying for third-party services seems unnecessary when free resources exist.

If you're really concerned, I'd recommend calling the IRS directly to check on status. I spent 3 hours on hold last week before giving up, then someone told me about Claimyr (https://claimyr.com). Got connected to an actual IRS agent in about 30 minutes who confirmed my refund was approved and gave me the exact deposit date. Worth it for the peace of mind.

•Thanks, might try that if nothing changes by next week. Getting pretty anxious about this since I need the money for some car repairs.

The offset line update is definitely a good sign, but the IRS systems don't always talk to each other in real-time. I've seen cases where the app was 3-4 days behind the actual status. If you filed with direct deposit, keep an eye on your bank account - you might see the deposit before the app even updates!
