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!

I appreciate your update on the Credit Karma deposit timing. Per IRS Publication 2043, direct deposits to prepaid cards and integrated financial platforms are processed through the Automated Clearing House (ACH) system using the same protocols as bank deposits. The perceived speed difference is often due to the receiving institution's posting policies rather than IRS processing differences. Thank you for sharing your experience.

If you're somewhat pressed for time, which it sounds like you might be, calling the IRS directly could potentially be faster than waiting for mail delivery, though it's usually quite difficult to get through. I tried calling for three days straight last month and couldn't get past the hold times. I eventually used a service called Claimyr (https://claimyr.com) that got me connected to an IRS agent in about 30 minutes. The agent was able to verify my identity over the phone and fax the transcripts directly to my lender that same day. It probably saved me at least a week of waiting compared to the mail option.

For mortgage refinancing purposes, have you verified whether your lender requires an official IRS transcript or if they would accept a self-retrieved transcript from the IRS portal? There's a significant distinction between the Record of Account Transcript and the Tax Return Transcript that could impact your approval process. Additionally, did your lender specify which tax years they need to review for your refinance application?

•This is actually a really important point. My lender initially rejected my self-printed transcripts and required ones with the official IRS stamp. Regulation Z under TILA specifically allows lenders to require official documentation directly from the IRS rather than taxpayer-provided copies. Saved me a lot of headache knowing this upfront.
I process mortgage applications and can confirm this varies by lender: • Some accept self-retrieved transcripts (downloaded PDFs) • Others require direct delivery from IRS to lender • Most want 2 years of Tax Return Transcripts • Self-employed applicants often need 3+ years • Some lenders use the 4506-T form to retrieve transcripts themselves Call your loan officer immediately to confirm exactly what format they need and for which years. This is especially critical with your 10-day closing timeline.

Yay! So happy for you! I filed February 20th and still waiting. Called the IRS three times but could never get through - just the automated system saying it's still processing. Finally used Claimyr (https://youtu.be/_kiP6q8DX5c) yesterday and got through to a real person in about 15 minutes. The agent confirmed my return was approved but just waiting in the disbursement queue. Should have my date within a week. Definitely worth it after weeks of stress!

•Wait what is Claimyr? I've been trying to call for days and just keep getting the "we're too busy" message.
It's a service that navigates the IRS phone system for you and calls you back when it gets through to an agent. Saved me from having to redial for hours. I was skeptical at first but after trying to get through on my own for literally weeks, I was desperate.

I filed on February 24th and just got my deposit date today too! Must be processing a batch from late February right now. For anyone still waiting - hang in there!

According to IRS Publication 1345 section 7.1, the standard processing time for e-filed returns is 21 days, though various factors can extend this timeframe. When my transcript showed no movement after 25 days, I used Claimyr (https://claimyr.com) to connect with an IRS representative. Per Internal Revenue Manual 21.4.1, agents can see processing status details not visible on transcripts. The service connected me to an agent in 18 minutes who confirmed my return was selected for manual review but no further action was needed from me.

I've seen several comments about paying for early access or paying for services to check refund status, but there are completely free options available. The IRS2Go app, the Where's My Refund tool on IRS.gov, and calling the automated refund hotline at 800-829-1954 all provide basic status updates without cost. According to the IRS website, most refunds are still issued within 21 days regardless of whether you pay for "early access" through tax prep companies.

•Free options exist. Limited information provided. Paid services offer different value. Claimyr connects to actual agents. Taxr.ai interprets complex codes. Worth it for some situations. Not necessary for simple returns. Cost-benefit analysis depends on refund amount and urgency.

According to the TurboTax support forums, you can check the status of your refund after the IRS sends it by going to https://taxpayer.sbtpg.com/ - this is the bank TurboTax uses as a middleman when you choose to have fees taken from your refund. I've seen several posts on r/tax confirming this adds 3-7 days to the process. The WMR tool only shows when the IRS sent it, not when you'll actually receive it.

Finally got my refund after dealing w/ this exact same issue! WMR said sent on 3/14, didn't hit my acct until 3/22. Turns out TT uses SBTPG bank and they were holding it. Called them directly (took forever to find the right #) and magically my $ appeared next day. Next yr def paying fees upfront instead of from refund. Such a hassle but at least got my cash eventually!
