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!

Be careful about counting on that refund for immediate expenses! Last year I was in the same boat, filed February 15th with EIC and CTC. My return got randomly selected for review and I didn't get my refund until MAY. I had to take out a high-interest loan to cover expenses I'd planned to use my refund for. Now I never plan essential payments around expected refund dates.
The IRS Processing Pipeline for PATH Act returns (EIC/CTC) has distinct phases that aren't visible in WMR. Initial verification, fraud screening, income verification, and final processing each take 5-7 days on average. Returns accepted February 13-15 are currently in the final distribution queue according to multiple reports on this sub. The DDD (Direct Deposit Date) assignment typically happens in batches, with most February second-week filers receiving deposits between March 20-27.

Just wanted to share some good news - I was in EXACTLY your situation last month. CTC payment hit my account while my refund was MIA. I called the IRS (took forever to get through 😅) and found out my return was just sitting in a queue waiting for review. Nothing wrong with it! Three days after I called, my refund was approved and I had the money a week later. Sometimes just making contact with them seems to move things along. Hang in there - the money is coming!
According to the IRS.gov website FAQ section, this is actually normal. I was researching this exact situation yesterday because I'm experiencing the same thing. The IRS website explains that the Advanced Child Tax Credit system and regular refund processing operate on different timelines and verification protocols. If you check the IRS2Go app and the status still shows as processing, it means your return is still moving through the system but hasn't been flagged for any major issues.

Has anyone else noticed how impossible it is to get actual clarification from the IRS when you have questions about Form 8888 or split refunds? I spent three days trying to reach someone who could explain why my split refund was delayed last year. Finally used Claimyr (https://claimyr.com) and got through to an agent in under 30 minutes who confirmed there was a verification flag on my account due to the split refund request. Wouldn't it be nice if the IRS actually communicated these holds clearly instead of making us play detective with our own money?

I was in the same boat last year! My brother got his refund a full week before mine, even though I filed three days earlier. It's way less stressful than trying to get a payment plan with the IRS though - I did that in 2021 and it was a nightmare compared to just waiting for a refund. Your money is definitely coming, the banking system just processes things at different speeds. Chime and other online banks are almost always faster than traditional banks, sometimes by several days.
Have you perhaps considered checking your tax transcript instead of just WMR? It might possibly give you more detailed information about where your return is in the processing pipeline. Sometimes, if I'm not mistaken, the transcript will update with a DDD before WMR does. You could also, if you're comfortable with it, try calling the IRS directly at the account management number, though you may need to be somewhat persistent due to high call volumes this time of year. It seems that patience is unfortunately the main solution in these situations.

Been through this last month. Cycle 05 here too. Had clean codes. Checked obsessively. Got my 846 code on Friday update. Deposit hit Tuesday. No last-minute issues. System worked as expected. PATH Act isn't affecting current processing. You're in good shape. Just need patience. Almost there.

According to Internal Revenue Manual 21.4.1.3(7), returns with consecutive transcript updates showing normal processing codes without examination indicators are classified as "pipeline returns" that typically proceed to completion without additional review. Per the Taxpayer Advocate Service 2023 Annual Report to Congress (p.84-85), only 8.2% of returns are selected for additional verification after passing initial processing stages. Are you claiming any credits that might trigger additional scrutiny under IRC §32(k) or §24(g)? That could potentially affect your timeline.
