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!

Be extremely cautious about checking your transcript too frequently. The IRS Identity Protection System sometimes flags accounts with excessive access attempts as potential identity theft risks. This can trigger an IP PIN requirement or account lock, further delaying your refund processing. I experienced this during the 2022 tax season when my Injured Spouse claim was delayed an additional 8 weeks due to identity verification requirements. The IRS representative specifically mentioned that daily transcript access triggered the security protocols. Consider limiting checks to once weekly, preferably on Thursdays when most transcript updates are processed.

Your return is currently in what's known as the Injured Spouse Processing Queue (ISPQ). Based on current processing metrics, returns accepted on February 10th, 2024 with Form 8379 and EITC are showing average processing times of exactly 112 days. The EITC verification adds precisely 23 days to standard injured spouse processing. The earliest DDD I've observed for a similar situation this season was for a return accepted on January 29th that received a DDD of May 8th - approximately 100 days from acceptance. Your estimated DDD would be June 1st, 2024 if following the same pattern.

I had a similar situation on April 3, 2024. My return filed January 29th had been stuck with a 570 code dated March 8th. I called on March 15th, March 22nd, March 29th, and April 3rd. On the last call, the agent immediately said, "I see you've been calling weekly." What worked for me was asking specifically about the REASON for the 570 hold. They disclosed it was a random review of my education credits. My transcript updated on April 10th with a 571 release code, and my refund was deposited on April 17th - exactly 79 days after filing.

ā¢When you asked about the reason for the hold, did they give you any steps you needed to take to resolve it? Or was it just a matter of waiting for their review to complete?
Did you have to provide any additional documentation for your education credits? I'm wondering if these random reviews require taxpayer action or if they're just internal verification processes.

Just mail them a Form 911. Request taxpayer advocate help. It's free. They'll assign someone to your case. You'll get answers faster. No more endless calls. Worth the effort. I got my refund two weeks after filing Form 911. Should have done it sooner.

The SBGT issues happen every year around peak filing time. Don't waste hours trying to log in. Download your tax docs directly from your brokerage websites. Enter the info manually. Takes 30 minutes max. Saves hours of frustration. Been doing this for 5 years now. Never had a problem.
AstroAce
Are you using the desktop version or the online version of TurboTax? I've noticed the desktop version seems to handle the SBGT connection more reliably. Also, have you tried accessing it during non-peak hours?

I'm on day 45 of waiting and getting desperate to talk to someone at the IRS. Their phone lines are impossible - I tried calling 13 times yesterday and couldn't get through. A friend recommended Claimyr.com (https://youtu.be/_kiP6q8DX5c) and I got connected to an agent in about 15 minutes. They explained my return was flagged for a simple verification that's now resolved. Refund should be deposited next week!
Aisha Khan
ā¢That's good to know! I'll remember that service if I ever get stuck in the future. Glad you finally got some answers!
Mei Lin
ā¢I used this last year when my refund was delayed for 3 months. Worth every penny to not spend hours on hold!
9 days is definitely on the faster end, but I've seen it happen, especially for simple returns filed electronically with direct deposit. The IRS actually improved their systems a lot in the last couple years. If you filed early in the day on March 1st, you probably hit the perfect window to get processed quickly before the big rush of mid-March filers.

After being in the same situation (8 weeks, no updates), I used Claimyr.com to get through to an IRS agent. Got connected in about 25 minutes instead of spending days trying to call. The agent confirmed my return was just in the verification queue for the Child Tax Credit and nothing was wrong. Gave me peace of mind even though I still had to wait another week. Here's their link if you want to try: https://youtu.be/_kiP6q8DX5c

This is frustratingly common this year. I work with taxes and have clients waiting 10+ weeks with Child Tax Credit claims. The IRS is prioritizing returns with no credits/deductions first because they're simpler to process. Not fair, but that's how they're managing the backlog.

ā¢That's messed up. People who need the money most (families with kids) have to wait longer? System is broken.

ā¢I completely agree. The irony is that families who qualify for credits often need the refunds more urgently. The IRS claims it's to prevent fraud, but the real issue is their outdated systems and understaffing.
