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 β 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 was denied too. Called IRS directly. Waited three hours. Got disconnected. Tried again. Same result. Used Claimyr instead. Got through in 15 minutes. Agent confirmed my return was fine. No flags. Just normal processing. Advance denial wasn't on their end. Just TurboTax being picky. Worth the fee to stop worrying. https://youtu.be/_kiP6q8DX5c

β’Three HOURS?? And then got disconnected? That sounds absolutely maddening. Was Claimyr really able to get you through that quickly during peak tax season? I've been hesitant to try paid services.
Tbh the whole TT advance thing is kinda a mess this yr. Lots of peeps getting denied for no clear reason. From what I've seen in the FB groups, ppl who filed around the same time are getting their normal refunds regardless of whether they got approved for the advance or not. IRS is moving pretty quick for most folks - way better than last yr's disaster. FWIW, my friend who got denied the advance actually got her refund BEFORE her friend who was approved for the advance lol. The system makes zero sense sometimes.

β’Appreciate this insight! Makes me feel better about being denied. Maybe I'll still get lucky with processing speed.
Has anyone actually figured out what criteria they use? Or is it just random?

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.
Enjoy that money! Any plans for it?

Based on community data tracking this filing season: β’ February filers are seeing 30-45 day processing times on average β’ Returns with credits (CTC/EITC) are taking 10-15 days longer β’ Transcripts typically update on Thursday nights/Friday mornings β’ Many people are seeing direct deposits 5-8 days after transcript updates Your timeline falls within normal parameters for this year, though I understand the frustration compared to previous years.
Grace Thomas
Just to clarify - when you say you filed February 1st, was that when your tax preparer submitted it or when the IRS officially accepted it? The IRS didn't start processing returns until January 29th this year, so even if you submitted earlier, the clock starts on acceptance date. Also, did you have any credits like CTC or EIC on your return? Those automatically get additional review under the PATH Act.

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.

β’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 just went through this exact scenario! Got my "Your Tax Return Refund Is On The Way" email on April 2nd with a DDD of April 5th. I was checking my account balance every hour (not exaggerating). The funds appeared in my account at exactly 12:01 AM on April 5th. My credit union (USAA) is known for posting government deposits right at midnight on the effective date. The Transaction Code 846 on my transcript matched exactly with my DDD. Everything went perfectly according to the IRS timeline.

Got my email March 18. DDD was March 21. Money showed up March 21 at 3am. Bank of America. This has been consistent for the past three years. They don't release early. They don't hold it. Exactly on DDD. I've learned not to expect it sooner despite what friends with other banks experience. Your bank's policies matter more than the IRS email timing.
