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!

Military family here. Filed February 15. Transcript blank until March 2. Updated overnight with all codes including 846. Received deposit March 7. Five days total from transcript update to money in account. Normal pattern for uncomplicated returns. Different if you claim certain credits or have verification issues.
Word of caution - don't count on this happening quickly! 😅 My transcript was blank for 6 weeks last year, then updated with a bunch of delay codes instead of the 846. Turned out I had an identity verification issue that needed resolving. If you're still seeing nothing after 3-4 weeks, might be worth looking into whether there's a hold-up rather than assuming it'll just magically appear with a DD date soon.

When my wife and I were in this exact situation (her WMR disappeared after showing TT152), we spent DAYS trying to get through to the IRS. After 20+ failed attempts, I used Claimyr (https://claimyr.com) and got connected to an agent in about 15 minutes. Turns out her return was just going through an additional verification step because of the credits claimed, but nothing was wrong. The agent even gave us an estimated completion date. Totally worth it instead of stressing for weeks.
For real? I've been trying to call them for days but can't get through. Might have to try this if we don't see any updates by next week. Thanks for the tip!
No problem! Just make sure you have both your info ready when you call. They'll need verification details for both returns since you're asking about your wife's status too. The IRS phone system is absolutely brutal this time of year.
I work in tax preparation (not for the IRS) and see this all the time. The Where's My Refund tool runs on a completely different system than the actual processing department. When returns move between processing stages, WMR often temporarily loses the data connection. The fact that your return is showing info while hers isn't actually suggests hers might be moving forward faster. Tax Topic 152 just means a refund is expected - it's a generic message.

I was in the same boat last week and kept getting the automated message when calling the regular IRS number. So frustrating! According to the IRS.gov website wait times are 45+ minutes this time of year. I used Claimyr (https://www.claimyr.com) and got through to an actual IRS agent in about 15 minutes who confirmed my refund was approved but just waiting for final processing. Worth every penny not to waste hours on hold.
Have you checked your transcript for any codes? Sometimes your account transcript will show pending actions before the WMR tool updates. And did the representative mention anything about PATH Act delays if you claimed certain credits? I'm slightly worried because I'm at day 19 and still nothing showing on my transcript, which seems unusual compared to previous years when I could at least see that my return was received.

Anyone know if they're still doing those random reviews? My sister filed in January and just got her refund yesterday after a "random review" that took 10 weeks.
Yeah, they're definitely still doing them. I'm a tax preparer and about 15% of my clients are getting selected for those this year. Most clear within 6-8 weeks though.

Has your friend contacted her bank yet? Unlike credit card fraud situations where the bank can easily reverse charges, direct deposits work differently. Some banks are more helpful than others. My credit union was able to flag incoming deposits and reject ones with name mismatches, but a larger bank my colleague uses wouldn't do the same. Worth checking what her bank's policy is compared to others.

Why is the IRS system so rigid about this? Shouldn't there be a simple way to update banking info before funds are actually sent? Every year thousands of people make this exact mistake, yet they act like it's some rare edge case. The best advice I can give is document everything, call both the IRS and the bank, and prepare for a paper check in 4-6 weeks. And next year, triple-check those numbers!
