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!

Have you checked your tax transcript instead of WMR? Sometimes the transcript updates before the WMR tool does. What filing method did you use? Did you claim any credits like EITC or CTC? When exactly did you file? Are you seeing any particular message on WMR or just the processing status?
The IRS Internal Revenue Manual section 21.4.1.3 actually specifies that normal processing time is 21 days, but can extend to 45 days without requiring explanation to taxpayers. We're seeing unprecedented delays this year despite their claims of improved processing. I've been tracking patterns on various forums, and it appears returns filed between February 7-21 are experiencing the longest delays, especially those with Schedule C or education credits. Try checking your account transcript rather than return transcript - it updates more frequently with current activity.

When my mom passed last year, I was in a similar situation with needing my refund for funeral costs. After weeks of trying to reach someone at the IRS with no luck, I used Claimyr.com to get through to an agent in about 15 minutes. They were able to expedite my refund due to hardship. Sometimes just getting a human on the phone makes all the difference when you're dealing with something urgent. Glad you found the help you needed here!
I've seen Claimyr mentioned a few times here. Does it really work? I've been calling for days and can't get through.
100% worth it in my situation. I had spent literally days trying to get through on my own. Claimyr had me connected to an actual IRS agent in minutes. When you're dealing with something time-sensitive like I was, the service pays for itself.

I went through this exact situation last month. According to the IRS Processing Delays page (https://www.irs.gov/newsroom/irs-operations-during-covid-19-mission-critical-functions-continue), Code 100 is their fast-track verification. My transcript updated exactly 3 days after entering Resolution with Code 100. The Transaction Code 571 appeared first (resolution of previous freeze), followed by 846 (refund issued). You can track these codes on the IRS2Go app or through the online transcript tool. Much more accurate than WMR!
The codes you mentioned are internal IRS processing designations. They aren't published officially but are known through collective experience. Code 100 typically indicates a discrepancy that can be resolved through automated or quick manual review. Most Code 100 cases resolve within 5 business days. Code 900 involves identity verification, prior year discrepancies, or potential fraud indicators. These require more extensive review. Keep checking your transcript daily for the most accurate status.
Filed 1/30 with TurboTax - Still No Update (First Year Claiming Son in Rotation)
Hey tax pros - need some advice here. Filed on 01/30 w/ TurboTax and still zero updates on anything. Got 3 kiddos total, but this yr is my first claiming my son (his dad & I alternate yrs per our agreement). I've checked WMR daily, transcripts twice weekly, and even verified my ID through [ID.me](http://ID.me) just in case. My AGI is ~120k, so I'm not eligible for EITC, just standard CTC. Already double-checked all SSNs, DOBs, and filing status details. Any ideas why it's taking so long? Processing times seem way off compared to prev yrs. TIA for any insight!

The IRS has special verification procedures for alternating dependents. This is normal. They're preventing fraud. Their systems flag these returns automatically. Manual review takes time. Your return isn't lost. It's in a special processing queue. No need to worry yet. The 2023 processing timeline is longer than usual. Many first-time dependent claims take 8-10 weeks. Keep checking your transcript weekly. Look for code 570 or 971 to appear. That means verification has started.
This is super helpful. I've been checking my transcript daily which is probably excessive, right? Should I be looking at the account transcript or the return transcript to see these codes?
Welcome to the wonderful world of IRS dependent verification! 😅 I'm in the same boat (filed 2/2, alternating custody with ex). From what I've gathered lurking on this sub, returns with first-time dependent claims or alternating dependents are taking 8-12 weeks this season. The good news is that the vast majority process without requiring any additional documentation. The bad news is there's not much we can do except wait it out. I've seen several posts from people in our situation who suddenly got their DDD after 9+ weeks with zero prior updates. Hang in there!

According to the IRS Master File processing documentation (available at irs.gov/irm), cycle code 04 indicates Wednesday processing in the weekly update cycle. I tracked my transcript daily this season and can confirm that after receiving my cycle code (20241204) on Wednesday, my 846 refund code appeared exactly 2 days later on Friday morning. The direct deposit hit my account the following Monday. The IRS Data Processing Cycle Chart shows this is typical for weekly cycles.

Has anyone else noticed their cycle code changing mid-season? I was always 05 in previous years, but this year I started as 05 and then my amended return showed as 04. Did your refund amount change at all when your cycle code switched?
