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 ā 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 the IRS2Go app instead of the website. Sometimes it updates there first. Also make sure you're looking at 2024 transcripts not 2023!

whatever you do DONT AMEND your return thinking that will speed things up. That'll put you at the back of an even longer line. Just wait it out. The IRS is slow but they'll get to it eventually.
I made this mistake last year and regretted it soooo much. Took me 11 months to get my refund because I amended when I got impatient after 6 weeks. DONT DO IT.
Thanks for the warning! Definitely won't be amending anything.

When I was trying to track my tax refund last season, I wasted SO much time trying to interpret all the transcript codes and cross-reference with WMR. Total nightmare. This year I used taxr.ai and it was a complete game changer! It explained exactly what was happening with my return in simple English, predicted my refund timeline accurately, and helped me understand why my transcript and WMR were showing different things. Saved me hours of stress and confusion. Check it out: https://taxr.ai
does it work for amended returns too? mine has been stuck for months
Yes! It works for amended returns, past year returns, everything. It can tell you exactly where your amendment is in processing and when to expect movement.
The IRS has the most broken, outdated systems ever. I swear they're still using computers from the 1980s š Don't worry about the transcript not updating yet - that's completely normal. I've had my refund literally in my bank account while my transcript was still showing nothing updated. As long as you got the acceptance confirmation, you're good!
QuantumQuest
ā¢For real though! I heard they're still running on COBOL which is like prehistoric programming language at this point š
No joke! My friend's dad works in IT at the IRS and says they have systems so old they can't even find people who know how to maintain them anymore. Like museum-level technology š¤£

After 6 weeks of waiting, I finally broke down and called the IRS using claimyr.com. Saved me HOURS of hold time and I actually got to speak to a human! Found out there was a simple verification issue holding up my refund that I never would have known about otherwise. Worth every penny to finally get my $3400 refund released. If you're still waiting, seriously consider giving them a try.
Pretty much! You enter the IRS number you want to call, and they have some system that keeps dialing and navigating the phone tree until they get a human. Then they call you and connect you directly to the agent. I was skeptical but desperate after trying for weeks on my own. The agent I spoke to was actually super helpful once I finally got through!

ā¢Might try this tomorrow. Been trying to reach someone about my amended return for months.

It's absolutely ridiculous that we need to constantly check transcripts and use third party tools just to figure out what's happening with OUR money. The IRS should be required to provide clear status updates and timelines instead of this cryptic nonsense.
Luca Ferrari
ā¢šÆ Preach! The IRS is stuck in 1985. Every other financial institution can give you real-time updates through a user-friendly app, but the government is still using fax machines and undecipherable codes.

CALL THE TAXPAYER ADVOCATE SERVICE! 1-877-777-4778. They helped me when I was in this exact situation. Found out my return was stuck in limbo because of a simple verification issue that nobody had bothered to tell me about. Worth a shot if you're desperate.
Taxpayer Advocate is so backlogged they're not taking new cases unless you can prove financial hardship (eviction, utilities shut off, etc

ā¢ah damn, that's new then. worked for me back in february but guess they're overwhelmed now too š

Dealing with the exact same thing and finally contacted my local congressional representative. They have caseworkers who can inquire with the IRS on your behalf. Mine got back to me in 3 days with more info than I could get after weeks of trying myself. Might be worth a try.
Yuki Tanaka
ā¢This is actually great advice. My cousin works for a congressman and says they get IRS issues resolved way faster than individuals can.
Ava Martinez
after struggling with this exact problem I found a service called Claimyr (claimyr.com) and they got me through to a live IRS agent in about an hour. The agent confirmed my verification letter had been sent and gave me the exact date to expect it. Talking to an actual person was so much better than the automated systems. It was the only way I could get real answers about my refund status.

ā¢Did it actually help resolve your issue faster or just give you more information?

Ava Martinez
ā¢The actual verification process still took the same time, but I was able to confirm exactly when they sent the letter and what type of verification they needed. Gave me peace of mind instead of wondering what was happening with my money.

Did you move recently or change addresses from your previous tax filing? That's usually what triggers these verification letters in my experience.

Malik Jackson
ā¢Yeah I moved last summer, so I guess that's why. Still seems excessive to delay everything for weeks over an address change.

ā¢It's because of refund fraud. People try to file returns for others and have refunds sent to different addresses. It's annoying but actually protects your refund from being stolen.
