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!

What kinda debts can they offset for? I thought it was just other tax debts, child support and student loans... is there anything else?

They can also offset for state tax debts, unemployment overpayments, and certain other federal debts like SBA loans or housing loans. Basically any federal debt and some state debts can be collected through tax refund offset.

Those offset notices are THE WORST. They give you a heart attack making you think they're taking everything, then you end up with some random small amount and no explanation. Classic government efficiency at work šŸ™„

IRS holding refund with 570/971 codes after missing W2s were found - will 60-day review resolve automatically once wages updated from $27,450 to $30,100?

I filed my taxes back in February and have been checking my transcript every week. At first I was confused because my wages weren't showing correctly on the IRS website. I called my employer who said they'd resubmit my W2s. Recently my wages on the IRS website finally updated, but now I have 570 and 971 codes on my transcript. When I check my IRS account, I can see a notice dated 03/03/2025 saying they're holding my refund for review. The IRS website shows a notice with the heading "We're Holding Your Refund" and it specifically states "We're holding your refund until we finish reviewing your tax return. We need to verify one or more of the following: income, income tax withholding, tax credits, or business income." The notice has a "View notice [PDF]" option, and there's also information that says "Get answers to your questions" and "View Understanding Your IRS Notice or Letter or call the number on the PDF notice." There's also a section that says "To Report an Error with Your Notice" followed by "View the Online Account Frequently Asked." Apparently I'm on a 60 day review now. I just realized I forgot to include 2 W2s when I filed - I reported $27,450 but the IRS now shows $30,100. Will everything fix itself now that the correct wages are showing? Will they just give me the difference for the extra withholding on those W2s I forgot? Not sure what to do next. Should I call the number on the PDF notice as mentioned on the IRS website? Has anyone dealt with this "We're Holding Your Refund" notice before when they had missing W2s? I'm worried because this notice is specifically saying they need to verify income, which is exactly my issue.

You should file an amended return (1040X) to correctly report those missing W2s. Even though the IRS has the information, it's still technically your responsibility to report everything accurately. This might speed up the process rather than waiting for their review.

0 coins

DO NOT do this! Filing an amended return while they're already reviewing your original return will cause more delays and confusion. When they have a 570/971 situation, let them finish their process first.

Oh you're right - didn't realize they had already started the review process. In that case definitely wait it out.

those transcript codes are driving me crazy too! i've been stuck with 570/971 for 4 months!!!! tried calling 37 times but never got through. finally used claimyr.com and talked to someone who explained everything and fixed my issue on the spot. never would have gotten my refund without it. save yourself weeks of stress!

OK so this is probly not what u want to hear but sometimes they do "random verification" and dont tell u. I had exact same situation last year and when I FINALLY got someone on phone after 3 weeks of trying, they said my refund was selected for random review but system never sent me notice. Got my $ like 2 days after that call.

Pro tip: the phone number on the IRS website is basically useless. Call 877-777-4778 instead. It's for the Taxpayer Advocate Service. They're way more helpful and can actually see what's going on with your refund. I spent 2 weeks trying the regular number with no luck, then got through on this one in 20 minutes.

I tried this number last week and they said they're not taking cases unless you can prove financial hardship šŸ˜‘

Really? That sucks. Might depend on your local office. Mine was pretty helpful even though I wasn't in dire straits.

Each year the IRS gets worse. They're critically underfunded and understaffed, with ancient computer systems that barely function. Your return is probably just sitting in a digital queue waiting to be processed. The acceptance notification means they received it, but they may not have even looked at it yet. As long as you have proof you filed (like the acceptance confirmation), you're protected even if they somehow lose it.

0 coins

Try logging into your IRS online account and checking your tax records there rather than just using the Where's My Refund tool. Sometimes your transcript will show processing activity even when WMR shows nothing. Also, with the multiple W-2s, they might be doing income matching which can take extra time.

That's where I checked and saw nothing. It's like they don't even have a record of me filing this year.

Hmm, that's frustrating for sure. But as others have said, as long as you got the acceptance notification you should be fine. Their systems are just extremely backed up. Give it another week or two before worrying.

Definitely check your transcripts - it has way more detailed info than the WMR tool. Most likely they adjusted your Premium Tax Credit based on the 1095-A you submitted, which would explain why they closed the return (processing complete) rather than sending it for further review. Unless there are other issues, your refund (possibly adjusted) should be issued soon.

My return was "closed" last year and it was honestly just a glitch in their system. Called them and they said everything was fine and my refund was being processed normally. Got it about 3 weeks later. The WMR tool is super unreliable.
