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!

Fun fact: the IRS batch processes refunds in cycles, and banks have their own processing schedules too. So there's actually a complex dance happening between when the IRS says "we sent it" and when your bank says "we got it." 😂 Sometimes your bank won't even show a pending deposit until the night before it posts. This is completely normal and doesn't mean anything is wrong with your refund!
CYCLE DATES are critical to understand here. The IRS processes refunds in specific batches based on your cycle code on your transcript. If you have an 05 cycle code, your refund information updates on Thursday nights/Friday mornings. If you have a DDD of 02/28, the ACH transfer was initiated 1-2 business days prior. Financial institutions then have until EOD on the DDD to make funds available. I NEED my refund by Friday for rent, so I've been tracking this process obsessively.

I experienced the same delay and found that using taxr.ai helped me understand what was happening. According to Internal Revenue Manual 21.4.1.3, returns filed in early February often encounter systemic processing delays even when accepted. The taxr.ai tool analyzed my transcript once it appeared and explained that the 570 code I was seeing was actually part of normal processing, not an audit as I feared. It predicted my direct deposit date within 48 hours of actual deposit.
Has anyone who filed on 2/11 received any updates yet? It's like our returns are stuck in a traffic jam while later filers zoom past us on the express lane. I'm wondering if there's something specific about that filing date that's causing issues - like how sometimes a specific batch of mail gets misrouted and arrives later than mail sent days afterward?

Last year I was in the same boat. Checked daily for weeks - nothing changed. Then tried calling IRS but couldn't get through after 3 hours on hold. Finally used Claimyr (https://claimyr.com) and got connected to an agent in 20 minutes. They explained my transcript was stuck in a verification hold that wouldn't show online. The agent fixed it while I was on the phone and my transcript updated the next day. Sometimes you need to talk to a human to get real answers about why your transcript isn't updating.
So I've been tracking transcript updates for three tax seasons now, and I've noticed they definitely follow patterns. My transcript always updates between 3-6am on Friday mornings. Last year, I set an alarm for 5am every Friday during tax season just to check! I'd wake up, grab my phone, and refresh the transcript page. It sounds crazy, but it saved me from checking 20 times a day. The cycle codes on your transcript can also tell you which weekly cycle you're in - mine always ends in 05, which means Friday updates.

I had a somewhat similar situation last year. I moved in January but filed in February with my new address. However, they still sent the verification letter to my old address (which was weird since I hadn't used it on my return). When I finally got the letter forwarded and verified, it still took about 3 weeks for my transcript to show anything. I'm not 100% sure, but I think they might have your new address already in the system from when you verified in person, even if they didn't explicitly ask for it.
My brother had exactly this issue in 2022! He moved on January 15th, filed on the 30th with his old address, and then had to verify his identity. The IRS sent all his mail to his old address even though he told them he moved during verification. His transcript stayed blank for almost a month after verification! He ended up having to call them twice - once to update his address officially and again two weeks later when they still sent something to his old place. The second call finally fixed it and his transcript updated about a week after that.

In my experience from 2023, calling the IRS directly after verification speeds things up. Last year I verified on March 12th, called on March 18th, and my refund was approved on March 20th. The rep can confirm if your verification was properly recorded in their system. Don't just wait around like I did in 2022 when my verification sat unprocessed for 6 weeks before I called!

•I tried calling after my verification last month and couldn't get through on any of the numbers listed on the IRS website. Kept getting the "high call volume" message and disconnected. Ended up just waiting and my refund appeared 12 days after verification without any intervention.

Mine took 8 days. Verified on February 6th. Transcript updated February 14th. Refund deposited February 16th. No issues. No calls needed. Just patience. System works. Eventually.

•I can't tell you how relieved I am to read this! I just did my verification yesterday and have been frantically googling timelines. I was worried I'd have to wait months like some horror stories I've read. Your straightforward experience gives me hope that the system actually does work sometimes. Thanks for sharing!
