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!

FYI - there's a diff between "info doesn't match" and "still being processed" msgs on WMR. If ur getting the info error, double-check these EXACT things: 1. Refund amt - use the PRECISE dollar amount from line 34a (no rounding!) 2. Filing status - exactly as filed (MFJ, HOH, etc) 3. SSN - first person listed on return only 4. Check for typos - even one digit off = error If all that's correct, then ur return is likely still in pre-processing. The IRS master file db only updates once a week (usually Weds night) which is why many ppl see updates Thurs/Fri.
Luca Bianchi
ā¢Oh wow, I had no idea about the weekly update schedule! That actually explains so much about why I always seem to see movement on Thursdays. Thank you for breaking this down so clearly!
ā¢ Warning: Don't keep checking WMR multiple times per day ā¢ The IRS has started flagging accounts with excessive login attempts ā¢ My sister-in-law's return got pulled for manual review after she checked 30+ times in 2 days ā¢ They suspected potential identity theft due to the unusual access pattern ā¢ Try limiting yourself to checking once every 48 hours ā¢ Use the IRS2Go app instead of the website when possible (fewer security flags) ā¢ And for the love of everything, don't call unless you've waited at least 21 days - they'll just tell you to wait anyway

According to the IRS website (https://www.irs.gov/taxtopics/tc610), educational institutions must furnish Form 1098-T to students and the IRS. If you're having trouble getting the university to provide these forms, you might want to try Claimyr (https://youtu.be/_kiP6q8DX5c) to connect with an IRS agent who can advise on your specific situation. I used them when I needed to resolve a similar education credit issue, and they got me connected to an IRS specialist in about 20 minutes who explained my rights regarding educational institution reporting. The agent confirmed that universities are required to provide this documentation and suggested specific language to use when requesting the forms.
Has anyone determined if the American Opportunity Tax Credit or Lifetime Learning Credit would be more advantageous in this situation? Per IRC Section 25A, there are significant differences in benefit amounts and qualification requirements. The retroactive nature of these claims might impact which credit would be optimal to pursue.

Just to clarify something that might help others - there's a difference between transcript updates and WMR (Where's My Refund) updates. Transcripts typically update overnight Thursday into Friday for weekly processing cycles, while WMR might not update until Saturday morning. So if you're comparing your situation to someone else's, make sure you're both looking at the same tool. Your timeline is actually pretty quick compared to many filers this season!

FYI for anyone checking - transcripts usually update overnight Thurs-Fri, and once you see that 846 code w/ your DDD, you're good to go! The IRS batches refunds, so ppl who got their 846 code last week prob got their $$ today or tmrw. OP's 3/11 date is solid - I've never seen them miss a DDD once it shows up on transcripts. Congrats on making it through the waiting game!

If you're really concerned, you can call the IRS to confirm they sent the payment. But honestly, their phone lines are a nightmare right now. I spent 3 hours on hold last week before getting disconnected. I ended up using Claimyr (https://www.claimyr.com) and got through to an actual IRS agent in about 15 minutes. They confirmed my refund was sent on my DDD and just needed time to process through my bank. Saved me days of worry!
Thank you! I might try that tomorrow if it doesn't show up. I really need this money for some bills due next week. š©

Did you check the "Where's My Refund" tool on the IRS website? Sometimes that will update to "sent" before your bank actually shows it.
Yeah, it still shows "approved" with today's date. Hasn't changed to "sent" yet which is making me even more nervous.
CyberSamurai
ā¢That's actually normal. Sometimes WMR doesn't update to "sent" until after the deposit has already hit your account. The IRS systems don't always talk to each other in real-time.

I had a similar situation with my stepdaughter last year compared to what you're describing. Unlike claiming a niece or cousin where you might only get the $500 credit, stepchildren are treated almost the same as biological children for tax purposes. The IRS Publication 501 specifically lists stepchildren as qualifying children, not just qualifying relatives. This is completely different from how they treat more distant relatives where the rules are much stricter.

Be extremely careful here. I've seen numerous cases where stepparents claimed EIC, then got audited because the biological parent also claimed the child. Even with documentation, these cases can be nightmares. Form 8332 (Release of Claim to Exemption) from the biological parent can help, but isn't always required. The IRS tiebreaker rules will automatically favor the biological parent unless you have substantial documentation proving they had no involvement.
