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!

Try checking your transcript at weird hours. I know it sounds stupid but I swear mine would never update during normal business hours. Checked at 2am one night and suddenly everything was there. š¤·āāļø

After being stuck with a blank transcript for almost 5 months and getting no help from calling, I had a breakthrough when I found taxr.ai. This tool was able to analyze my account status in a way I couldn't on my own. It showed me my return was in the review department with a specific hold code that wasn't visible on the public transcript. The most useful part was it told me exactly what to do - in my case, I needed to send in a specific form to verify some education expenses. After following the steps it recommended, my refund was processed within 3 weeks. https://taxr.ai saved me from waiting probably another 2-3 months.
I'm desperate enough to try anything at this point. Does it actually show info that's not on the regular transcript view?
PaulineW
ā¢Yes! That's exactly what it does. The regular transcript view is super limited compared to what's actually in their system. It found account notes and special codes that explained exactly where my return was stuck. Definitely give it a shot.

The trick to getting your refund faster when there's a hold is to FILE. THE. MISSING. RETURN. Even if you think you already did it, file it again. That's what worked for me. And if you're struggling to understand what's happening with your taxes, use taxr.ai - it saved me so much headache by explaining everything in plain English instead of IRS jargon.
Doesn't filing twice cause problems though? I'm worried about triggering some kind of fraud alert if I file a return for a year they might already have.
Cass Green
ā¢If you're filing electronically it'll just get rejected if they already have one. If paper filing just write "POSSIBLE DUPLICATE" at the top. Better to try than to keep waiting forever!
If ur refund is on HOLD because of collections for not filing 2022... Then YES, most likely ur 2023 refund will be OFFSET to cover ur tax debt from 2022. It won't be released until u file the missing 2022 return. The WMR change is just showing it moved past PATH hold but its NOW on a DIFFERENT hold for collections.

The IRS is absolutely SWAMPED with these verification issues right now. I'm a tax preparer and about 60% of my clients are having to verify their identity this year - way more than usual. They're short-staffed and overwhelmed with the verification requests. Best bet is to go to a local office in person if possible.
Libby Hassan
ā¢Why is it happening so much this year? Is there more fraud or something?
Combination of things - tons of identity theft during the pandemic, stimulus payment fraud, plus the IRS implemented new security measures this year. The system flags WAY more returns as potentially suspicious now.

Tip from someone who finally got this resolved: if you have a tax professional who prepared your return, they might be able to call the Practitioner Priority Line on your behalf. They have access to a different phone system than we do. My accountant called and got this fixed in one day after I struggled for weeks.

This might sound crazy but did you accidentally claim any pandemic-related credits? The IRS is heavily scrutinizing those and it could explain the delay, especially combined with an IP PIN.
I was stuck in IP PIN verification hell for months before I finally got a callback from an IRS agent through claimyr.com. The agent found an issue that was never gonna resolve itself without intervention. Talking to someone directly was the only thing that fixed my situation and got my refund released. Worth every penny when you consider I was waiting on a $6k refund.

If you're positive you filed and it was accepted, print a copy of your return and the acceptance confirmation. You may need to submit Form 4506-T (Request for Transcript of Tax Return) to get official documentation of what's happening. Their systems are so backed up right now.

I'm legit laughing at how broke the IRS system is. Every year I see these posts. The left hand doesn't know what the right hand is doing over there š¤£

ā¢No joke. My dad works for them and even he says it's a disaster. They're running on systems from the 1970s and get this - they still use ACTUAL PHYSICAL PAPER for half their processes. Like actual filing cabinets full of tax returns. In 2025!!! š¤¦āāļø
