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!

According to Internal Revenue Manual section 21.4.1.3, the IRS is required to process returns claiming EITC and ACTC after February 15th, but there is no mandated timeline for how quickly this must occur. Last year, I filed January 18th and didn't receive my refund until March 14th despite PATH lifting on February 15th. This year seems to be following a similar pattern for many early filers with credits.

I don't think it's normal to wait this long. You should definitely call them. I was in the same situation last month and found out there was an issue they needed to verify.
Good luck calling the normal IRS number though. I tried for TWO WEEKS straight and couldn't get through. The wait times are insane this year.

ā¢I had the same problem until I used Claimyr.com to get through to an agent. They got me connected in about 25 minutes when I'd been trying for days on my own. The agent confirmed my return was just stuck in the processing queue and nothing was wrong. Worth the fee to stop worrying and actually get answers: https://youtu.be/_kiP6q8DX5c
The "N/A" transcript status just means your return hasn't been fully processed yet. It doesn't necessarily indicate a problem. The IRS is still catching up from the pandemic backlog and their antiquated systems don't update in real-time. As long as your return was accepted, it's in their system. For reference, I filed 1/30, was accepted 2/10, and my transcript didn't update until 3/15. Refund arrived 3/18.

Been trying to call the IRS to check on mine (also Chime, also NC) and it's impossible to get through. Spent 3 hours on hold yesterday before getting disconnected. Anyone know a better way to reach them?
I was in the same boat last week and used Claimyr.com to get through to the IRS. They called me back when an agent was available instead of me sitting on hold for hours. Actually spoke to someone who confirmed my refund was approved and gave me the exact deposit date. Worth every penny since I needed that info for planning some bills. Here's their link: https://youtu.be/_kiP6q8DX5c

Just got mine today! Chime user in Greensboro. Filed Feb 3rd, had the PATH Act delay, but it finally came through. Hang in there!

I would caution against assuming there's a problem just yet. The IRS processing times have been... unpredictable in recent years. While most returns might process within the standard 21-day window, many perfectly fine returns take longer, especially during peak filing season. It might be worth checking your transcript if possible, though sometimes even that shows nothing until processing is complete. The mortgage interest and property tax deductions probably aren't causing delays unless there's a significant mismatch with what your lender reported.

I NEED TO WARN YOU about something important! While it's great your 2024 return is processing, be extremely careful about the congressional inquiry for 2023. My friend went that route and it triggered an automatic review of BOTH tax years! The IRS suddenly put a hold on her 2024 refund that was about to be issued while they investigated the 2023 situation. I'm not saying don't contact your representative, but be prepared that it might cause them to look at your entire tax history. Make sure you have ALL your documentation ready for both years just in case. The IRS systems are connected in ways that aren't always obvious to us as taxpayers!

Have you considered that this might actually work in your favor from an interest perspective? The IRS is required to pay interest on delayed refunds after 45 days from the filing deadline or the date you filed, whichever is later. Wouldn't it be better in some ways to have your 2023 refund delayed if you're going to receive interest on that amount? Of course, this assumes you don't urgently need those funds right now. Another approach might be checking if you qualify for assistance through the Taxpayer Advocate Service, which can sometimes move things along faster than a congressional inquiry.

ā¢The interest accrual on delayed refunds is governed by IRC Section 6611(e), which specifies that interest begins 45 days after the return was filed or the due date, whichever is later. However, it's important to note that this interest is reported as taxable income on your next year's return via Form 1099-INT. The current interest rate is 7% annually, compounded daily, which translates to approximately 0.019% per day. While this is higher than many savings accounts, it's not necessarily an optimal financial strategy given the uncertainty of when the funds will actually be received.

ā¢Regarding the interest on delayed refunds: ā¢ Yes, IRS pays interest after 45 days ā¢ But interest is taxable income the following year ā¢ Uncertainty of payment timing makes financial planning difficult ā¢ Congressional inquiry might still be faster than waiting for interest ā¢ Interest payments don't compensate for inability to use funds now Has anyone calculated whether the interest actually offsets the inconvenience of waiting?
