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 experienced this EXACT situation in 2023. My ex claimed our son in 2022 with some SSN mismatch issues, then I claimed him in 2023 after getting full custody. The IRS held my refund for verification due to the "dependent TIN previously claimed" issue. They specifically needed Form 8332 (Release of Claim to Exemption) even though we had a court-ordered custody agreement. The terminology they use is so specific - they kept referring to "qualifying child determination" and "residency verification" during the review process. It took 11 weeks total, but I did eventually receive my full refund including the Child Tax Credit.
Did your client receive any specific notice or just the generic "refund is delayed" message on Where's My Refund? And has she been able to access her tax transcript online? I'm wondering if there are specific codes that might indicate whether this is a routine review or something specifically tied to the ex's unresolved issues from last year?

YES!!! This EXACT thing happened to me and I was SO WORRIED!! My transcript updated with a DD date of 4/12 but WMR still showed one bar for DAYS after that! I was checking it constantly and freaking out! But guess what?? The money showed up RIGHT ON TIME on 4/12 just like my transcript said! I was literally doing a happy dance in my kitchen when I checked my bank account that morning! 💃💰 WMR finally updated like 2 days AFTER I already had my money!
According to Internal Revenue Manual section 21.4.1.3, the Where's My Refund tool operates on a separate update cycle from the Master File that generates transcripts. Per IRS guidelines, taxpayers should allow up to 5 business days after a Direct Deposit date appears on a transcript before expecting WMR to reflect the updated status. This discrepancy is actually documented in IRM procedures and considered normal processing, though surprisingly not communicated clearly to taxpayers.

My DDD is 3/14 and I'm still waiting. Filed through TT too but using a credit union. Did you have any issues with your return or was it pretty straightforward?
Pretty straightforward. Just W2 income, standard deduction. No credits or anything complicated. Processing seemed quick this year compared to last year when I waited like 6 weeks.
Been trying to reach the IRS for 3 days to check on my refund status since my WMR isn't updating and I'm getting nowhere. Just endless hold times or disconnects. Anyone know a better way to reach them?
Try Claimyr.com - I was in the same boat last week and they got me connected to an IRS agent in about 15 minutes. Saved me hours of redial hell. The agent confirmed my refund was approved and gave me my DDD even though WMR still showed processing. https://youtu.be/_kiP6q8DX5c
Thanks! I'll check it out. Anything is better than listening to that hold music for another hour just to get disconnected.

IMO the IRS is just using generic msgs to buy time. Been thru this rodeo b4 and the "delayed" status doesn't mean much tbh. Last yr my return had the same msg for like 7 wks then suddenly approved w/o any contact from IRS. Ppl need to chill and stop checking WMR every 5 mins (guilty lol). The system is overwhelmed AF and they're prob just triaging returns based on complexity not errors per se.
Have you noticed whether paper returns seem to get this message more often than electronic ones? I'm wondering if the filing method might be related to how they prioritize processing.
The whole IRS processing system is like a giant funnel with different sized filters. Your return is like water flowing through - some passes right through (quick refunds), some gets caught in different filters (verification stages), but only a small percentage actually gets diverted to the special container (errors department). It's like how my bank flags certain transactions for "review" but 99% still process normally after a short delay. I'm concerned though - does anyone know if these delays could affect other financial processes like mortgage applications where they need to verify your tax info?

I'm with Capital One! Filed on 2/2, accepted same day. Had path act credits so had to wait until after 2/15 for them to even look at my return. Cycle code 20240705. Hope everyone else sees theirs soon!
