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 very careful with the PATH message! Last year I ignored it for weeks thinking it was just normal processing. Turns out my return had an error code that required attention, but the generic PATH message was hiding the real issue. I ended up having to: 1. Call the IRS (took 3 days to get through) 2. Verify my identity again 3. Submit additional documentation 4. Wait another 9 weeks for processing Check your transcript for TC 570 codes - don't just assume it's normal processing!
Just got my refund yesterday after being stuck on PATH message since January 28th! Here's what happened: ā¢ Filed Jan 28 with EITC ā¢ PATH message appeared immediately ā¢ No transcript updates until Feb 29 ā¢ Transcript showed TC 150 (return filed) ā¢ March 7 - TC 768 (EIC credit) ā¢ March 8 - TC 846 (refund issued) ā¢ March 12 - Money in my account The PATH message on WMR never changed until AFTER the deposit hit my account. System is definitely delayed this year.

ā¢Thank you for sharing this detailed timeline. It's helpful to see the exact progression of codes and dates. I'm going to check my transcript more carefully now.

I'm dealing with this right now too. I tried calling the IRS for three days straight but couldn't get through because of 'high call volume.' Finally used Claimyr (https://claimyr.com) and got connected to an agent in about 15 minutes. The agent confirmed they were just doing a standard review of my return and everything was fine. The WMR tool glitch is apparently happening to lots of people this tax season. Saved me days of stress wondering what was happening!
Emma Wilson
ā¢Did they say how long the review would take? I'm in a similar situation.
The agent said standard reviews are taking about 10-14 days right now. She mentioned it's not a full audit or anything serious - just part of their normal verification process during busy season.

The IRS systems are notoriously glitchy during peak filing season. I've worked in tax prep for years and see this all the time. Usually it resolves itself within a week. If you don't see any updates by next week, then it might be worth looking into further.

Sometimes what happens is the IRS doesn't immediately know about offsets when you first file. Your return goes through normal processing, then when it's about to be issued, the Treasury's Bureau of Fiscal Service runs a check against the offset database. That's when they discover debts and apply the offsets. I've seen this happen to several clients where they think everything is normal until suddenly there's an offset notification. The good news is that once they've given you that May 5th date, it's usually pretty reliable.
I tracked exactly 137 offset cases in a tax preparer forum last year, and the average time between offset date and refund receipt was 4.6 business days. 92% of people received their remaining refund within 7 business days of the offset date. Only 3% had additional delays beyond that timeframe. Based on this data, you should expect your remaining refund between May 5th and May 14th, with May 11th being the most likely date if you're getting direct deposit.

This is so frustrating!! š Have you tried contacting the tax preparer through other means besides texting? Maybe calling her or reaching out on social media? It seems really unprofessional that she would just file without your approval and then ignore you!

Think of this like being locked out of your house - you need to prove it's your house before they'll let you change the locks. The verification is like showing your ID to the locksmith, and the amendment is like changing those locks. You can't skip the first step! The good news is that the IRS deals with this situation all the time, like how locksmiths have seen every type of lockout imaginable. Stay calm and follow the verification process - you'll get back control of your tax situation.

OMG I'm in the EXACT same boat!!! Filed on January 29th and STILL waiting! Called yesterday and they told me it could be ANOTHER 60 DAYS!!! I have bills due NOW! This is absolutely INSANE! The deadline for us to file is strict but they can take FOREVER to process?! š¤š¤š¤ If I owed them money they'd be charging me interest and penalties already!

This delay is actually shorter than what many people are experiencing with amended returns. Standard processing is running about 10-18 weeks compared to amended returns taking 6-8 months in some cases. The error correction queue moves faster than the manual review queue, at least based on what I've seen across different tax situations.

ā¢Shorter than amended returns? Is that supposed to make anyone feel better? Why can't the IRS just process returns correctly in the first place? Why do we accept this level of incompetence from a government agency? My state refund came in 8 days, but federal takes months?

ā¢Has anyone checked the IRS2Go app for updates? Sometimes the app shows different information than the Where's My Refund website. I've also found that checking your tax transcript on IRS.gov can show processing stages that aren't visible on WMR.
