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!

I may have some encouraging news to share. After my identity verification call in February, I saw no updates for about two weeks. Then suddenly, everything updated at once and my amended refund was processed within 10 days after that. It seems that sometimes the system works silently in the background, and then all status updates appear simultaneously. Perhaps your case is following a similar pattern?
In my experience, identity verification for amended returns typically results in transcript updates within approximately 10-14 business days, though this can possibly vary depending on current processing volumes. The verification acknowledgment should generally appear as transaction code 971 with a specific action code, which essentially confirms your identity has been successfully verified. It's worth noting that the WMAR tool is somewhat notorious for delayed updates compared to actual processing status.
Isn't it interesting how the IRS systems don't communicate with each other in real-time? I've handled dozens of these cases professionally, and I've noticed that verification confirmation can appear in internal systems up to 7-10 days before taxpayers see any updates. Have you found that the processing timeframes vary significantly between filing seasons?

You need to submit Form 8379 (Injured Spouse Allocation) immediately if your ex-spouse has any federal debts that might trigger an offset! The April 15th deadline is approaching, and if you don't get this submitted, your CTC portion could be applied to their debts. The IRS won't automatically know about your divorce decree protections without this documentation.
FYI - The partial refund sitch is super common this yr. IRS is doing a 2-phase process for many returns w/ credits. Phase 1: Basic refund amt. Phase 2: CTC/EIC after verification. Avg wait time btw phases = 4-6 wks. No need to panic yet. Check your transcript for TC 570/971 combo - that's the verification hold code. They should send a letter explaining within 2 wks. Hang tight!

For South Carolina unemployment adjustment refunds, here's what I've gathered from community reports: • Processing order: Based on original filing date (not state) • Current status: Processing March filings for single filers • Paper check timeline: 7-10 business days after transcript shows code 846 • Common delays: Address verification (adds 14 days) • Regional differences: Southeast processing center is 2 weeks behind Northeast • Verification triggers: Returns with address changes or income discrepancies Most single filers with standard returns are seeing 8-10 weeks total processing time from original filing date to check receipt. The IRS isn't providing state-specific updates, but the pattern is consistent across regions.
This matches my experience exactly. Filed Feb 27, transcript updated with code 846 on May 3, check arrived May 12. The amount was exactly what I expected based on my marginal tax rate. No notice came with it, just the check.
Have you verified if your unemployment compensation was exactly $10,200 or less? The exclusion amount varies based on total unemployment received. For South Carolina filers, 78.3% of single filers with standard returns have received their adjustments as of May 30th according to the latest IRS processing statistics. Did you check your Account Transcript for TC 290 code with cycle date 20241905 or later? This indicates your return has been selected for the current processing batch.
This is incredibly helpful information! I didn't know to look for specific cycle codes. Just checked my transcript and I do have TC 290 with cycle 20241905. Now I know it's actually being processed!
Where do you find the cycle date on the transcript? I see the TC 290 code but don't see anything that looks like a date code in that format. Is it in a specific section?

Based on my research into verification processes: • State and federal tax systems operate independently • Verification triggers are different for each system • Illinois uses a risk-based verification model that looks at: - First-time filers - Significant income changes - Self-employment income over certain thresholds - Address changes • Federal verification is more commonly triggered by: - EITC claims - Identity theft concerns - Significant refund amounts - Mathematical discrepancies Your independent contractor status might be what triggered the state verification, but doesn't automatically mean federal will follow.
Contact the Illinois Department of Revenue directly at 800-732-8866 and ask them what triggered the verification. This won't tell you for sure about federal, but it might give you clues. If it's something like address verification or identity confirmation, that's less likely to trigger federal verification than if it's about income discrepancies or suspected fraud. Don't just wait and wonder.

Be careful about counting on a specific timeline. I filed in March last year with additional documentation and thought my refund would arrive by June. The IRS ended up sending me a CP12 notice requesting even more information. This reset my entire processing clock. My refund ultimately took until September to arrive. Have you verified that your documentation was properly received? Did you include your Social Security Number on every page of the additional forms?

OMG I'M IN THE EXACT SAME SITUATION AND IT'S DRIVING ME CRAZY!!! 😡 Filed March 17th, had to mail in some health insurance forms, and NOTHING since then! WMR just says "still processing" for like 2 months straight! I've called the IRS like 20 times and can't get through to anyone. I need this money for car repairs and it feels like they're just sitting on it forever! Why is this system so broken?! The frustration is unreal.
