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!

Check for an 846 code on your transcript - that's the refund issued code. Once you see that with a date, you'll know exactly when your money is coming. The 570/971 combo without an 846 means you're still in verification, but now that your wages are showing up, the 846 should appear soon!

I've learned that all the IRS codes seem scary but are mostly just normal processing steps. The system is ancient and inefficient but it does (usually) work eventually. Your case sounds like standard income verification that's now complete. Deep breaths - your money is coming soon!

Filed March 15, refund delayed 2 months - IRS identity verification tool rejects me, rep says verification letter is coming

Filed electronically on March 15th and got accepted the same day. Its now almost 2 months later and my transcripts are still completely blank. Where's My Refund tool hasn't moved at all. I finally managed to get through to the IRS yesterday to ask questions and the representative told me that my refund is delayed because I need to verify my identity. When I tried to use the online identity verification tool on the IRS website, I just get a message saying "We are not able to provide assistance to you via the identity verification tool." I've attached a screenshot of exactly what I'm seeing when I try to verify my identity. The page says: "We are not able to provide assistance to you via the identity verification tool. If you've already filed, processing usually takes 21 days (electronic returns) or six weeks (paper returns). To check the status of your refund go to: Where's My Refund OR Download our free IRS2Go app If you've filed an amended return, processing usually takes up to 16 weeks. To check the status of your amended return, go to Where's My Amended Return For information on identity theft, see the IRS Identity Protection Guide For other tax related information, visit IRS.gov" The date on the screenshot shows March 02, 2025. The IRS rep said she was typing up a verification letter while I was on the phone with me and that I'd receive it in the mail. But she couldn't tell me how long that would take or what I'm supposed to do after that. Has anyone dealt with this situation? What comes next and how much longer will this drag on? I'm getting really worried since it's been almost 2 months and I still can't get any clear information about my refund.

Pro tip: while you're waiting for the verification letter, make sure you have the documents you'll need to verify ready to go. You'll need your previous year's tax return, the current return info, photo ID, and possibly utility bills or other proof of address. That way you're ready as soon as the letter arrives.

IRS "Action Required" message for my 2024 tax return - Head of Household status under review with no refund amount showing

I filed my taxes back in April for tax year 2024 as head of household and was expecting a decent refund. When I checked the IRS website yesterday at around 5:29 to see my refund status, I got this weird message saying "Action Required" and that they're reviewing my return. The IRS website showed this exact message: "Action Required Please read the following information related to your tax situation. You may need to provide additional information to receive your full refund. We received your tax return and are reviewing it. If we need additional information, we'll mail a notice with further instructions. If you've already received a notice, please follow the instructions. If we determine no additional information is needed, we'll continue to process your refund." Under "Your personal tax information" it shows: Tax Year: 2024 Filing Status: Head of household Expected refund amount: [was blank] It says they might need additional information and might mail me a notice with instructions, but I haven't received anything in the mail yet. The message also says if they determine no additional info is needed, they'll continue processing my refund. Has anyone else gotten this message? I'm not sure if I should just wait for a letter or call them or what. It's been almost 3 weeks since I filed and I'm getting anxious about my refund. I checked the sa.www4.irs.gov website but there's no additional information beyond this message. Should I be worried? Will this delay my refund significantly?

Call them! I know everyone says it's impossible but I got through after trying at exactly 7:00 am on a Tuesday. The hold was because they needed to verify my identity. The agent helped me do it over the phone and my refund was released a week later.

You got incredibly lucky. I tried calling 23 times over 3 days and never got through. Just endless "due to high call volume" messages šŸ˜‘

Have you moved recently or changed banks? Sometimes that triggers additional verification. Also if this is your first time filing as HOH that can trigger a review.

I did move last year! That's probably what triggered it then. I updated my address when I filed but maybe that's what they're checking.

Anybody else notice how they can magically process your payment in 2-3 business days but need a year to process anything that benefits you? 🤔 system

It's by design. They have every incentive to take your money quickly and as little incentive as possible to give it back.

I work in tax resolution and see this all the time. The IRS is required by their internal policies to give maximum timeframes, but identity verification usually takes 6-12 weeks in practice. If you want to speed things up, call the number on your notice and request to verify over the phone, or make an appointment at your local Taxpayer Assistance Center. Both options can resolve verification in a single day rather than waiting for mail correspondence.

My $1,700 IRS balance for 2022 suddenly showing $0.00 - No payments made or notices received

So I was checking my IRS account online and something weird happened. Last week I could clearly see I owed about $1,700 for the 2022 tax year. Today I logged in to make a payment arrangement and the balance is completely gone - just says $0.00. I haven't made any payments or filed anything new. The account shows $0.00 for both 2021 and 2022 now. When I log into my account, at the top of the page at 8:45, there's a disclaimer that clearly states: "The numbers here may not reflect: Recently filed or processing returns, Pending payments or adjustments, Information on your business account, Installment agreement fees." Under the "Details By Year" section, it shows: + 2024 (with an INFO icon) + 2023 (with an INFO icon) 2022 $0.00 2021 $0.00 There's also a "Make a payment" button and "Frequently Asked Questions About Balances" link on the page. I checked the whole sa.www4.irs.gov private page but couldn't find any explanation for why my balance disappeared. I was literally about to set up a payment plan for the $1,700 I owed for 2022, and now it's showing zero balance for both 2022 and 2021. I haven't submitted any new documents, made any payments, or received any notices from the IRS explaining this change. Has this happened to anyone else? Should I be worried the IRS is going to suddenly hit me with the bill again later? Not sure if this is a glitch or if something actually changed with my account. Should I try to contact them directly or just consider myself lucky and move on?

their stupid website is always broken. wouldn't surprise me if you log in next week and its magically back to normal smh

My first step would be to check your transcripts, not the account balance page. The transcripts show the actual activity on your account. If you're having trouble understanding the transcript (most people do!), I highly recommend using taxr.ai - it breaks down exactly what's happening. Saved me so much confusion when my refund was delayed last year.
