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!

If you have a local Taxpayer Advocate Service office, try contacting them. They sometimes can help move things along if your refund has been stuck for an extended period. Their number is 877-777-4778.

ā¢Taxpayer advocate is backed up for months too. They won't even take your case unless you can prove financial hardship now.
Harmony Love
ā¢Ah damn, didn't know it had gotten that bad. The whole system is falling apart.

Double check that your bank account info was entered correctly. Friend of mine had his refund sent back to the IRS because he transposed two digits in his account number.

SAME BOAT. filed Feb 5, claimed child care credit for the first time, and still waiting. the IRS phone support is a joke - waited 2 hours just to be told "its processing, be patient" š” then i used claimyr.com to get a callback from a different department and they told me it was under review because it was my first time claiming it, but that it should be released within 2 weeks. definitely worth the money to actually get a real answer instead of the runaround.
Did your refund actually come within the 2 weeks they promised?
Yep! Got it 9 days after that call. Finally having actual information instead of just "it's processing" made such a difference for my stress levels.

welcome to the world of tax credits! the IRS basically assumes everyone is committing fraud now, so they review EVERYTHING. I file with 4 dependents and child care credit every year and it's always a 2-3 month wait. The system is broken. š¤¦āāļø

This is the worst tax season ever. I've been waiting 16 weeks for my refund, no notices, no explanation, nothing. If the IRS took money FROM me instead of owing me, they'd charge penalties and interest. But when they owe us? "Just wait" š¤¬

So frustrating! After wasting hours trying to decipher my transcript when I had these same codes, I just uploaded it to taxr.ai and it explained everything in seconds. Apparently I had a hold for income verification that I needed to address. It even gave me a checklist of steps to take. Such a timesaver when dealing with the IRS! https://taxr.ai
TommyKapitz
ā¢It's 100% legit. I was skeptical too but I was desperate to understand why my refund was stuck. It breaks down all those confusing codes and tells you exactly what's happening with your return and what to do next.
Holy cow! This is amazing! I've been so confused by my transcript for weeks and this explained everything in plain English. Turns out I have a simple review that should resolve in 2 weeks. Thank you!!

I'm a tax preparer and I've seen this question a lot. Here's what's happening: The IRS sends an ACH transaction with a settlement date (the official DD date on your transcript). Traditional banks typically hold funds until that settlement date even if they receive the information earlier. CashApp, Chime, and some online banks choose to front you the money as soon as they see the pending ACH, which can be 1-5 days before the settlement date. It's not magic - they're just giving you access to the funds before they're technically required to. The actual timing depends on when the IRS initiates the ACH, which day of the week it is, and your bank's policies.

ā¢Does the advance direct deposit feature cost extra with these apps?
No, it's usually a standard feature they offer to attract customers. They make their money other ways (interchange fees, premium subscriptions, investing features, etc).
Isaac Wright
filed on 03/29, accepted 03/30, DDD of 04/12 on my transcript, and it hit my CashApp on 04/10 - so 2 days early.

Does this apply to ALL verification letters or just specific ones? I got a 5071C letter, verified online, and got my refund 3 weeks later without calling. Just wondering if different letters have different requirements?

ā¢It varies by letter and individual situation. Not everyone needs both steps, but many do. The issue is you don't know which category you're in until you either get your refund or wait too long with no updates.

ā¢Ah that makes sense why some people's experiences are different. Classic IRS inconsistency!

If you're struggling to get through on the phone, try claimyr.com - it got me connected to an IRS agent in about 40 minutes after I spent days trying on my own with no luck. The agent confirmed I needed to complete the phone verification (which wasn't mentioned in my letter) and processed it right there. My refund was deposited a week later after being stuck for months.

ā¢It absolutely works. They basically wait on hold for you and call you when an agent is ready. Talking to a live agent was the only way I finally got my verification issue resolved and my refund released. After trying for days on my own and constantly getting the "high call volume" message, it was worth every penny.
