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'm not convinced amending is worth it if it's truly a small amount. The IRS has a materiality threshold they don't publicly disclose. They're not going to chase down every $50 discrepancy. Cost-benefit analysis, people! The processing centers are still backed up from the pandemic era. Your amendment might sit in a pile for 6+ months. But hey, if you can't sleep at night knowing you're technically not in compliance, by all means file that 1040-X. š“
I appreciate your practical perspective! It's like that old saying about the IRS - they're not looking for perfection, just reasonable compliance. The tax code is basically 10,000 pages of exceptions to exceptions, so sometimes you have to make judgment calls based on the actual impact.

I've been through this amendment process twice before. First time was back in 2019 when I forgot a small 1099. Second time was in 2022 with a missing W2 from a temp job. Both times I waited until after receiving my original refund, then filed the 1040-X. I'm slightly worried for you because the IRS seems to be more aggressive with matching programs lately, so I'd definitely recommend amending rather than hoping they don't notice.

Check your bank account. Not WMR. Many people get deposits before WMR updates. Transcript is more accurate. PATH delays are ending now. Most refunds process within 21 days. Your 2/26 date is probably correct. IRS systems don't talk to each other well.

I filed on January 29th, 2024. Transcript updated February 14th. WMR still showed first bar on February 17th. Deposit hit my account on February 19th at 3:17am. WMR finally updated on February 21st. The PATH Act verification process creates these gaps in updating. Don't trust WMR - it's notoriously behind actual processing.

OMG you actually got lucky!!! š® I had to go through the WHOLE identity verification nightmare last year and they made me wait for the letter, schedule an appointment, drive to the office, wait in line... took FOREVER! The fact that they just did it over the phone is AMAZING! Here's what happens next: your return gets released from the verification hold (usually within 24-48 hours), then enters normal processing. Your transcript will update first (usually within a week), then WMR will change to approved, and then you'll get your refund! The whole process after verification usually takes 7-14 days but can be faster. I'm so happy you didn't have to go through the in-person verification hell! š
I believe you might see movement very soon... The IRS seems to be processing ID verification cases faster this year than in previous years. While I'm not 100% certain, I've noticed that many people who verify their identity are seeing updates to their transcripts within about a week, sometimes even faster. Just make sure to keep checking both WMR and your transcript, as sometimes one updates before the other.

I'm seeing a pattern with February filers claiming dependents this year! The IRS is absolutely swamped with returns right now and they're prioritizing certain batches. God, it's so frustrating waiting for money that's rightfully yours! Most people I know who filed with dependents in early February are seeing updates this week or next. The good news is that once it starts moving, it usually moves quickly. Hang in there!

Tax pro here! Let me break down what's happening with your "5 days sooner" option (which is what we in the industry call a Refund Anticipation Loan or RAL): 1. Your actual IRS refund is still scheduled for 2/26 - that hasn't changed 2. Your tax preparer's bank partner is fronting you the money now 3. When the IRS releases your refund on 2/26, it goes to them, not you 4. They keep the refund as repayment for the advance they gave you The "fee" you paid is essentially interest on a very short-term loan. It's like paying the pizza guy to run a red light to get your pepperoni there 5 minutes sooner... except the pizza place charges you $20 for the privilege! š Check your account today - you should see the deposit already there or coming very soon.

I believe I may have some insight into your situation... I also used the early refund option last year. From what I understand, the money should appear in your account within 1-2 business days from when you received notification, possibly even today. The tax preparation company essentially provides a short-term loan against your expected refund, and they collect their fee from the total amount. When the IRS processes your actual refund on 2/26, that money goes to the tax preparer to cover the advance they gave you. I would suggest checking your account periodically throughout the day.
