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 think I may have had a similar situation to yours. I verified my identity on April 10th, and my transcript updated exactly 6 business days later. First I saw code 971 appear (notice issued), then the next day I got code 846 with a direct deposit date. My verification was specifically for the tax advocate PIN issue though, so your timeline might be slightly different if your verification was for something else.
I had almost the exact same experience last year, but it took 8 business days instead of 6. I think they're processing a bit faster this year compared to last year's backlog.
When you say "tax advocate PIN issue" - was that related to an Identity Protection PIN or something different? I'm trying to understand if different verification reasons have different timelines.

After experiencing cycle code 20240805, transcript code 570, and WMR status "still processing" for 38 days, I finally decided to contact the IRS directly. Used Claimyr (https://claimyr.com) to bypass the hold time and got connected to an agent in about 15 minutes! Such a relief to finally speak with someone who confirmed my return was just in normal processing with no issues. They said to expect my DDD within 7-10 days, and sure enough, my transcript updated the next day!
Check the IRS2Go app right now! They just did a major update at 3am EST according to the r/IRS megathread. Many people with filing dates between 2/10-2/20 are seeing movement today. The tool updates overnight so what you saw this morning might already be outdated. www.irs.gov/refunds shows exactly when the next big update is scheduled.
• Did you file with any tax credits? (EIC, CTC, etc.) • Is your address the same as last year? • Have you checked your transcript for cycle codes? • What does the top of your transcript show for 2023 Return? Just trying to understand your specific situation better.

I'm... hesitant to recommend this because I generally avoid paying for things I should be able to get for free, but after three weeks of trying to reach someone at the IRS about my similar situation, I finally tried Claimyr (https://youtu.be/_kiP6q8DX5c). They got me connected to an actual IRS agent who could help with my offset issue. I probably could have eventually gotten through myself, but I was losing more money in missed work hours trying to stay on hold than the service cost. The agent explained exactly what forms I needed and where to send them. Such a relief after weeks of frustration.
Have you verified your current status in the Automated Levy Protection program? Sometimes there are specific conditions that can trigger automatic removal: • Missing an installment payment by more than 15 days • Failing to file a required return on time • Defaulting on another tax obligation • Exceeding income thresholds during verification periods Did any of these happen in the past 12 months? This could explain why the protection failed despite you thinking you were still enrolled.

Got thru to the IRS last month for my penalty abatement! Here's what worked: - Called the # on my notice (not the main IRS #) - Used phone menu option for "payment questions" not "tax help" - Called at 8:15am ET on a Tues (mid-week is less busy) - Had my notice, SSN, filing status, and tax return ready - Agent took about 10 mins to review my history - Approved on the spot! Confirmation letter arrived 2 wks later Def worth the effort - saved almost $300 in penalties. Good luck!
Had this exact situation last semester. Here's what worked for me: • Tried calling for 2 weeks with no success • Used the "Contact Us" option on IRS.gov (limited but better than nothing) • Submitted Form 843 by certified mail as backup • Found alternate number: 800-829-0922 (sometimes less busy) • Finally got through using Practitioner Priority Service trick The agent confirmed I qualified for First Time Abatement since: • No penalties in prior 3 years • Good history of filing on time before • Current year taxes were fully paid, just filed late They removed the penalty completely during the call!

Had same issue. Waited 8 days. Works now. System needs time. Don't worry. Normal process. Happens every year.

I experienced this exact scenario during the previous filing period. The IRS transcript system requires backend verification of your submission before granting access. This timing varies based on e-file volume, but typically ranges from 5-10 days post-submission. For financial aid verification purposes, you might consider requesting an Income Verification Express Service (IVES) transcript through your university's financial aid office as an alternative method.
