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!

Is TurboTax's estimate reliable? I'm worried now. I just filed last week. Used TurboTax too. Got the same 5-day early option. Should I be concerned? Everyone's talking about transcripts. Never checked mine before. Is it really that helpful?
My situation was almost identical to yours last year, but I was expecting a much smaller refund. Filed with TurboTax on February 18th, got state back in about a week, federal took until April 2nd. The 5-day early option through TurboTax didn't make any difference for me compared to friends who didn't choose it. Their processing time was about the same as mine. If you're budgeting around your refund, definitely plan for it to take longer than they estimate.
Transcripts show actual IRS processing status. WMR only shows three basic stages. Your transcript will tell you if there's a review, verification, or other hold. It will also show if a refund has been scheduled. You need to create an account on IRS.gov to access it.
You should check the IRS2Go app right away! Sometimes it updates before the website does. According to the IRS Refund Status page (https://www.irs.gov/refunds), they're still processing many February returns. The 21-day normal processing time doesn't always apply during peak season. If it's been more than 21 days since you e-filed, you should definitely call them at 1-800-829-1040, but be prepared to wait a long time. Check your transcript ASAP to see if there are any hold codes!

Check your bank account, not TurboTax. TurboTax doesn't always update correctly. I filed March 2nd. My refund hit my account yesterday with no warning. WMR still shows processing. Transcripts updated last Friday. IRS doesn't follow their own timelines anymore.
In my experience with filing on March 1st for the past three tax seasons, there's a pretty consistent pattern. Last year I filed on March 1st and saw my refund exactly 17 days later. The year before was 21 days. This year I filed March 1st again and just got my deposit yesterday - so 20 days total. The community wisdom is that early March filers typically see 17-21 day processing times unless there are complications with credits or verification issues. Your state refund is definitely a good sign! I always tell friends that the transcript is your best friend during tax season - it updates way before WMR does.
Thanks for sharing your experience. Is there a specific day of the week when refunds typically hit accounts? I've heard Wednesdays and Fridays are common deposit days.

Have you considered the possibility of an ERS hold? Self-employment returns often get flagged for Error Resolution System review, especially with dependent-related credits. The Integrated Automation Technologies system might have your return in queue for manual verification. The transcripts showing blank with a March 24 date suggests possible IDRS cycle code assignment without transcript generation completion. Did you receive CP05 notice requesting additional verification?
I think everyone's overthinking this. Have you checked if your return is affected by the PATH Act? This happens with certain credits and causes a mandatory hold until mid-February. Did you claim EITC or ACTC with your dependents? Also, have you tried checking your account transcript instead of just the return transcript? Sometimes one updates before the other.

Oh gosh, I've been through this exact situation! The 570 code with an 'as of date' usually means they're reviewing something specific on your return. Based on the timeline you've shared: - Paper filed on Jan 27th ✓ - Processing started Feb 4th ✓ - Current date is mid-March ✓ - As of date shows March 24th ✓ I'd expect one of two things to happen: 1. The hold resolves automatically (look for code 571 followed by 846 with your refund date) 2. You'll receive a letter requesting additional information Since it's been about 6 weeks since processing began, I'm worried you might be cutting it close for getting the refund by month-end. The fact that it's a prior year return (2021) filed on paper means it's likely going through additional verification. I'm feeling anxious for you because I know how important this is for your remote work setup!
I just went through something similar with my 2021 paper return! According to the IRS.gov website FAQ section (https://www.irs.gov/refunds/tax-season-refund-frequently-asked-questions), the 570 code means there's a temporary hold while they review something. In my case, they were just verifying my identity because I hadn't filed for a couple years. My timeline was: - Filed paper return on Dec 20, 2024 - Processing started Jan 15, 2025 - 570 code appeared Feb 10 with "as of date" March 5 - 571 code (hold released) appeared Feb 28 - 846 code with refund date appeared March 7 - Refund received March 12 Does anyone know if this sounds similar to what might happen with OP's return?

I need to share a cautionary tale here. I verified online on February 27th (exactly 23 days ago), thought everything was fine, and waited patiently. After seeing posts like this, I called yesterday and discovered my verification had NEVER processed correctly. The agent told me that approximately 42% of online verifications since February 1st have been affected by this glitch. After verifying by phone, she told me to expect my refund within 9 business days. If I hadn't called, I might have been waiting indefinitely. The system won't notify you if your verification fails!

•42% failure rate? That's a massive system problem. IRS should send notices to everyone affected.

For anyone dealing with this issue, I created a timeline based on my experience and what I've seen from others: 1. If you verified online between January 29, 2024 and March 15, 2024, and were only asked about 2024 information, your verification likely didn't complete properly 2. After calling and completing phone verification, most people are seeing transcript updates within 2-5 days 3. Refunds are typically being issued 5-9 days after successful phone verification 4. The IRS updated their system on March 16, 2024 to fix this issue for new verifications, but they're not automatically fixing previously affected accounts Hope this helps others navigate this frustrating situation!
