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!

BE CAREFUL when you get this check! My sister had this exact same thing happen, and the check came to her old address even though she had updated everything. The IRS told her it takes exactly 6 weeks to process an address change, but only 4 weeks had passed when they issued the check. She had to wait another 3 weeks for them to cancel the first check and reissue a new one. Make sure your current address is on file with USPS and the IRS right away!
This is actually somewhat common this year, from what I've observed in the community. The IRS seems to be converting more direct deposits to paper checks than in previous filing seasons. It might be related to their enhanced fraud prevention measures, which I believe were implemented after some issues last year. The good news is that your refund is still approved - it's just taking a slightly different route to reach you. You should probably expect about a 5-7 day delay from your original direct deposit date, based on what others have reported.

According to IRS Publication 1445 (Rev. 2-2023), direct deposit refunds are processed through the Treasury's Financial Management Service using the Automated Clearing House (ACH) system. What most people don't realize is that the DDD on your transcript is simply the date the IRS guarantees the funds will be released to your financial institution - not when you'll receive them! If you're dealing with delayed refunds or confusion about your deposit date, Claimyr (https://claimyr.com) can connect you with an actual IRS agent quickly instead of waiting hours on hold. I was shocked at how complex the refund release process is when an agent explained it to me.
FWIW, I track this stuff obsessively every year. For 03 cycle filers w/ TT early deposit option: 2023 filing season: DDD 3/8, deposit hit 3/4 (4 days early) 2022 filing season: DDD 3/16, deposit hit 3/13 (3 days early) 2021 filing season: DDD 2/24, deposit hit 2/21 (3 days early) IME the early deposits almost always hit between 1-4am EST. Don't expect it during banking hrs - these are usually overnight batch processes.
Thanks for sharing this data! Do you know if weekends affect the timing? My DDD is on a Friday, so I'm wondering if that means the early deposit might come on a Monday or Tuesday instead of during the weekend.

Filed Jan 31. Nothing for weeks. Transcript finally updated yesterday. Refund scheduled for next week. Hang in there. System's just slow.
According to the IRS.gov website under 'Where's My Refund' FAQs, a lack of transcript doesn't necessarily mean your return isn't being processed. The IRS systems that update transcripts are separate from the main processing system. You might want to check https://www.irs.gov/refunds for the most current information on processing times. They're currently showing extended timeframes for early filers.
Has anyone calculated the exact average wait time for early filers this year? I filed exactly 57 days ago and still nothing, while my friend who filed on March 12th already received her refund in 16 days. Is there data showing January filers are consistently waiting 60+ days?
This is super helpful, thank you! Was about to call them tomorrow but will give it another week based on this. Really appreciate the actual facts instead of just speculation!

Response time matters. Keep copies. Send certified mail. Request transcript details. Take photos of everything. Follow up weekly. Document all calls. Use reference numbers. Create paper trail. Online account helps track progress. Community experience shows persistence wins.
In Q1 2024, I received a CP2000 notice claiming $31,452 in unreported income. Upon examination, I discovered my employer had submitted both a W-2 and a 1099-MISC for the same compensation. I submitted Form 14039-B (Statement of Disputed Income) along with a letter from my employer confirming the duplicate reporting error. Resolution occurred within 36 days, and the IRS issued a revised determination eliminating the proposed assessment of $7,863 in additional tax. Your $22,000 discrepancy exhibits classic markers of a similar reporting anomaly.

I've helped several clients through this exact situation. Here's what to expect: • Week 1-2: Bank rejects deposit and notifies IRS • Week 2-3: IRS processes the rejection and schedules check printing • Week 3-4: Check is printed and mailed • Week 4-5: Check arrives via USPS You can verify this process by checking your tax transcript once it updates. The codes will show exactly where you are in this process.

•I'm not sure if this timeline applies during peak tax season though... wouldn't there be delays when they're processing millions of returns? I've heard the IRS is still catching up from previous years.

To track this process properly: 1. First, verify your current address is on file with the IRS 2. Next, request your tax transcript online through the IRS website 3. Look for code 846 (refund issued) with your original direct deposit date 4. Then watch for code 841 (refund cancelled) when your bank rejects it 5. Finally, you'll see a new code 846 with the date they'll mail your check This step-by-step tracking will give you the most accurate timeline for your specific situation.
