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!

Be careful with how you proceed! I filed February 15th last year, transcript didn't update for 8 weeks, and when I finally got through to someone, they told me my return had been flagged for identity verification but they never sent the letter! I had to complete the ID verify process which took another 3 weeks, and then wait another 9 weeks for processing. By the time I got my refund it was JULY! I'm concerned about your situation because the timeline is similar to mine. Have you moved recently or had any life changes that might trigger extra verification?
Did you receive any specific notice date on your transcript before discovering the identity verification issue? I filed on February 17, 2024, and I'm wondering if there are specific dates I should be watching for that might indicate a similar problem with my return.
The IRS Where's My Refund tool and transcript system don't always sync properly. According to irs.gov/refunds, transcript updates typically happen overnight between Thursday and Friday, while WMR updates can take 24-48 hours to reflect transcript changes. This explains why some users see transcript movement before WMR shows any change.

I'm curious - did TurboTax specifically say you'd get your refund 5 days before the IRS date, or did they say the refund would be "up to 5 days faster"? The wording makes a big difference in what they're actually promising, kind of like how a restaurant promising "up to 30 minutes delivery" doesn't mean your food will arrive in exactly 30 minutes.
Tax professional here. The confusion stems from misinterpretation of TurboTax's marketing. Under IRC §6402 and Treasury Regulation §301.6402-2(e), the IRS maintains sole authority over refund disbursement timing. The Direct Deposit Date (DDD) on your transcript represents the official date when the Treasury will initiate the ACH transfer to your financial institution. TurboTax's expedited service primarily accelerates their internal review process prior to IRS submission, not the actual IRS processing timeline. For accurate financial planning, rely exclusively on the DDD shown on your transcript.

I'm in EXACTLY the same situation! Filed through H&R Block on March 1st and my Adjusted Gross Income is $42,500 with a Child Tax Credit claim for my daughter. The IRS Where's My Refund tool still shows "Your return is still being processed" with no progress bar. Called H&R Block and they mentioned something about a Form 1310 verification that's causing delays for many CTC claims. This is way more complicated than I expected!
Has anyone who filed with H&R Block in April received their refund yet? I'm wondering if filing later in the season means faster processing since they've worked through the February/March backlog? Last year I filed in February and waited forever, but my brother filed in April and got his in 2 weeks.

For anyone wondering about the PATH Act timeline, here's what typically happens: 1. File your return (January-April) 2. Return accepted by IRS systems 3. Initial processing begins but pauses if PATH credits claimed 4. After February 15th, processing resumes for PATH returns 5. Verification of income and credits occurs 6. Transcript updates with cycle code 7. WMR updates to approved 8. Direct deposit or check mailed The test batch, if it exists, simply means your return completes steps 3-5 earlier, but step 4 still applies to when funds are released.
I actually did receive my refund yesterday and I filed with EITC on January 24th! My transcript updated last Friday with an 846 code dated for 2/28. I never saw any indication I was in a test batch - my WMR showed processing for weeks, then suddenly changed to approved last weekend. The money showed up exactly on the date shown in my transcript.

According to the IRS operations dashboard (https://www.irs.gov/newsroom/irs-operations), they're currently processing returns received in late January/early February. Your timeline actually fits within their current processing window. The r/IRS community wisdom suggests that identity verification adds approximately 9-14 additional processing days. Stay calm and keep checking your transcript weekly rather than daily - many people report that constant checking seems to delay updates (though that's probably just perception bias).

Call Taxpayer Advocate Service. Free help. Better than waiting. Number is 877-777-4778. They can check status. Sometimes they can expedite if hardship.

•Thx for this suggestion! I've dealt w/ TAS before when the IRS lost my amended return and they were super helpful. Just FYI for anyone considering this route - you usually need to demonstrate some kind of financial hardship (eviction, utilities shutoff, etc) for them to take your case, but they're def worth contacting if you're in that situation.

•I would perhaps add that the Taxpayer Advocate Service is somewhat backlogged as well, so while they may be able to help, it could still take some time. In my experience, they typically prioritize cases with immediate financial hardship.
