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 checked my account and the money is there! 🎉 Filed through Credit Karma on Feb 1st, got my DDD of 2/25 last week, and Chase just deposited it tonight (2/24) around 8pm. The IRS "deposit date" is more like a "by this date" promise rather than an exact time. Feels like waiting for a package that says "delivery by Thursday" but sometimes shows up Wednesday evening! So relieved this came through - was starting to think I'd have to subsist on ramen until next week!
Different banks. Different times. Credit unions often faster. Big banks sometimes hold longer. Check your bank's policy. Some release government funds early. Others wait until exact DDD. Call your bank directly. Ask about ACH processing times. Specifically for government deposits. Don't rely on general customer service. Ask for ACH department.

Think of the tax filing sites like those "free" mobile games - they let you start for free but then hit you with in-app purchases to continue. The key is accessing the truly free options through the IRS portal. The commercial sites create nearly identical-looking pages to confuse people, like how some stores create knock-off products with similar packaging.

I had this happen with a $3.42 check from 2019 that randomly showed up in 2023. The IRS agent explained they found a calculation error related to a rate change that affected thousands of returns, so they did a mass correction. The 570 froze my account briefly while they calculated the adjustment, then the 971 was generated when they issued the notice explaining the change. The whole process took about 3 weeks from codes appearing to check arriving. Did your check come with any explanation letter?
According to Internal Revenue Code §6402(a), the IRS is required to issue refunds for overpayments regardless of how small the amount. While many taxpayers worry when seeing these codes, Treasury Regulation 301.6402-1 clarifies that these administrative adjustments can be processed up to 3 years after the original return filing. I would recommend checking the specific date of the 971 code - it should be approximately 7-10 days before you received the physical check, per standard IRS processing timelines.

I made this exact mistake with FreeTaxUSA last year! The system doesn't catch that the routing and account numbers are identical during submission. My refund was rejected on the deposit date, then 19 days later I received a paper check in the mail. No need to do anything - the IRS handles it automatically. Have you checked your informed delivery from USPS to see if there's anything coming from the Treasury?
Just to clarify what happens technically: When the ACH transfer fails due to invalid routing/account info, the IRS system automatically flags your refund for paper check issuance. Unlike other tax issues that require amendments or forms, this process is handled entirely on their end. The timeline is typically 2-3 weeks longer than your original direct deposit date. For comparison, address changes require Form 8822, but banking errors are handled without any action from you.

FINALLY some good news on this sub!!! I've been stuck in processing hell for 42 days now and was starting to lose my mind! 😫 So frustrating that the IRS can't just be transparent about these delays! Why do they make us guess what's happening?! Your post gives me hope that maybe, just MAYBE, I'll see movement soon too. This waiting game is absolutely BRUTAL when you're counting on that money!

Did you have any credits on your return? Last year I had a similar timeline but I claimed the Child Tax Credit. The year before that I had a simple return with no credits and it processed in just 14 days. I'm wondering if the tax topic disappearing is specifically related to certain credits being verified.
