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!

Last year my mom had over $40k in medical expenses from cancer treatment. Her preparer made a mistake on how her insurance reimbursements were reported. The IRS actually caught it and INCREASED her refund by about $2,800! Sometimes errors work in your favor. The whole process took about 8 weeks to resolve, but the IRS was surprisingly helpful. They even assigned her a case worker who walked her through exactly what documentation they needed. It wasn't nearly as scary as we expected.

Keep all your medical receipts. Store them digitally. Back them up. IRS can audit up to three years back. Six years if they suspect substantial errors. Forever if they suspect fraud. Not trying to scare you. Just be prepared. Good preparers help but can miss things. Especially with complex medical situations.

If it's been more than 21 days since you filed, you can actually call the IRS to check on status. I was in the same boat last month - state came through but federal was stuck. After trying to call for days and getting the "high call volume" message, I used Claimyr.com (https://youtu.be/_kiP6q8DX5c) to get through to an agent. They confirmed there was a minor verification issue they fixed on the spot, and my refund showed up a week later.

ā¢Thanks for the tip! It hasn't been quite 21 days yet, but if it gets to that point I'll definitely try this. Did you have to pay for the service?
Yes, there is a fee, but considering I spent hours trying to get through on my own with no luck, it was worth it to me. They don't charge if they can't get you connected to an agent. I was connected in about 15 minutes after days of trying on my own.
The timing varies a lot, honestly. Last year my state (CA) came a full month before federal. This year they were only 4 days apart. The IRS is actually moving pretty quickly for most straightforward returns this season compared to the last few years. If you don't have any special credits or deductions, you'll probably see it within a week or so of your state refund.

Oh my goodness, this happens to so many people! The IRS Where's My Refund tool is notoriously slow to update, especially when you've used a service like TurboTax with fees taken out. I've seen hundreds of posts about this exact situation in tax groups! The important thing is that you HAVE your money - that's what matters most! The IRS system will eventually catch up, but there's absolutely nothing to worry about now that the funds are in your account. So happy you got your refund for your kids' summer programs! š
Instead of checking WMR, try looking at your tax transcript on the IRS website. It'll show the actual refund issued date (TC 846) which is more reliable than WMR. Lots of ppl have this same prob w/ TT and other prep services that take fees from refunds. The $ goes TurboTax ā fee deduction ā your bank, but WMR only tracks the first step.

Be really careful with amended returns - they're like opening Pandora's box sometimes. My cousin filed a 1040X to claim a missed credit last year, and it somehow triggered a review of his entire return. The IRS ended up questioning deductions from the original filing that weren't even related to the amendment! It's like going to the dentist for a cleaning and ending up with a root canal. He spent almost $800 on a tax professional to help resolve everything, which was way more than the credit he was trying to claim in the first place.

Have you considered using the IRS's interactive tax assistant? It's available at https://www.irs.gov/help/ita and has a specific section on amended returns. Also, if you're comfortable with tax software, most of the major platforms (TurboTax, H&R Block, TaxAct) support creating 1040X forms and will walk you through the process step-by-step. They'll automatically generate the correct supporting forms based on what you're changing. The IRS also has a dedicated amended return status tool at https://www.irs.gov/filing/wheres-my-amended-return that lets you check processing status once you've submitted.

Had this exact issue. Called TOP. Got nowhere. Tried regular IRS line. No luck. Used Claimyr instead. Got through in 15 minutes. Agent confirmed no offset taken. Worth the fee. Saved me days of worry. Here's their link: https://www.claimyr.com. Peace of mind matters.

You might want to hold off on spending that money for about 2-3 weeks, just to be safe. I've occasionally seen cases where the offset happens after the deposit in rare situations. It's probably fine since your transcript only shows 846, but it could potentially be a timing issue with the Treasury Offset Program database. Most people in your situation end up keeping the full amount, but there's always those few exceptions that end up with a surprise withdrawal later. Better safe than sorry, especially for large purchases.
