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!

Just a warning based on my experience last year - don't assume these codes will resolve quickly for everyone! According to the IRS.gov website (https://www.irs.gov/individuals/understanding-your-tax-record) and several tax professional forums I've been following, the 570 can sometimes stay in place for months if they need additional verification. My 570 last year took 87 days to resolve because they were verifying my self-employment income. Make sure you watch your mail carefully for any notices, and respond immediately if they request documentation.
Tax pro here. This is absolutely a systemic change in IRS processing this year. The 570/971 combo is their standard procedure when a return gets flagged for verification. What's different in 2024 is the volume and the targeting criteria. They're focusing heavily on returns with credits, income disparities from previous years, and self-employment income. Most will clear automatically. Don't call unless your 570 has been there more than 45 days. And definitely don't file an amended return while these codes are active - that will only delay things further.

Just wanted to share some good news - I was in EXACTLY your situation last month. CTC payment hit my account while my refund was MIA. I called the IRS (took forever to get through 😅) and found out my return was just sitting in a queue waiting for review. Nothing wrong with it! Three days after I called, my refund was approved and I had the money a week later. Sometimes just making contact with them seems to move things along. Hang in there - the money is coming!
According to the IRS.gov website FAQ section, this is actually normal. I was researching this exact situation yesterday because I'm experiencing the same thing. The IRS website explains that the Advanced Child Tax Credit system and regular refund processing operate on different timelines and verification protocols. If you check the IRS2Go app and the status still shows as processing, it means your return is still moving through the system but hasn't been flagged for any major issues.

My transcripts took 31 days to update last year compared to 14 days the year before. The IRS is processing about 1.5 million returns per day right now, and HOH status changes get flagged for additional review almost 100% of the time. If you compare this to other filing status changes like going from Single to Married Filing Jointly, those typically don't trigger the same level of scrutiny. The IRS considers HOH a high-risk area for errors, so they're extra careful with those returns.
I feel your anxiety! When I went through my divorce in 2022, I filed HOH for the first time and my refund was delayed for almost 8 weeks! I was checking my transcripts every single day (sometimes twice 😬) and driving myself crazy. I finally broke down and called the IRS after 6 weeks. They told me my return had been selected for a "routine review" of my filing status. Nothing was wrong, but they were verifying I qualified for HOH. The relief I felt after that call was incredible - just knowing what was happening made the wait easier. My transcripts updated the following week. Hang in there!

Has anyone else noticed how impossible it is to get actual clarification from the IRS when you have questions about Form 8888 or split refunds? I spent three days trying to reach someone who could explain why my split refund was delayed last year. Finally used Claimyr (https://claimyr.com) and got through to an agent in under 30 minutes who confirmed there was a verification flag on my account due to the split refund request. Wouldn't it be nice if the IRS actually communicated these holds clearly instead of making us play detective with our own money?

I'm sort of in a similar situation, but I think it might be because I filed with a tax preparer who uses SBTPG for refund transfers. It seems like sometimes this adds a bit of extra time to the whole process. In my case, I filed around January 29th and didn't see anything on SBTPG until maybe the first week of March? And then my refund came about 3 days after that. Hopefully yours is just moving through the system and will update soon.

FORGET the transcript for now and try this instead - call the IRS automated refund hotline at 1-800-829-1954! It sometimes has different/updated info compared to the WMR tool online. I was FURIOUS when nothing was showing up on my transcript for weeks but the phone system told me my refund was scheduled! Worth a shot since it takes 2 minutes and doesn't require waiting for an agent. Military families sometimes get routed differently in their systems too!
