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!

The IRS Taxpayer Advocate Service can also help if you filed on January 23rd and it's now April 11th - that's 78 days which exceeds their normal processing timeline. Call them at 877-777-4778 if you're facing financial hardship due to your delayed refund. Their office opens at 7:00 AM local time, and they typically have shorter wait times than the main IRS line.
This reminds me of my situation last year when my return was delayed for almost 3 months. The Taxpayer Advocate was more helpful than the regular IRS line, but they still couldn't speed up my processing. It's like comparing a slightly efficient DMV to a completely inefficient one.
I'm so stressed about my refund! Do they actually help get your money faster or just give you more information? I really need this refund to pay some bills that are already overdue! 😫
I was in your exact situation. Filed Jan 25th. Called the Practitioner Priority Line at 866-860-4259 and told them I was calling on behalf of a client (me). Got through in 15 minutes. Agent explained my return was flagged for income verification. Got my deposit 8 days later. Sometimes you need to be creative.

Has anyone compared the actual deposit times between: • Paying TurboTax fees upfront • Having fees taken from refund • Using a different tax service altogether? I'm trying to decide what to do next year and would love to see some real data on this.
Direct deposit is fastest. Always. Refund advances are actually loans. They charge interest. Hidden in the fine print. The bank account method adds delays. Pay your fees upfront next time. You'll get your money faster. No middleman.
I should perhaps clarify that while direct deposit is generally faster, there are some technical aspects to consider. The temporary account method involves the creation of a Refund Processing Service (RPS) account, which is subject to additional verification processes at some financial institutions. This can sometimes add 1-3 business days to the timeline.
Did you notice any difference in how quickly the IRS processed your return when you used direct deposit vs. the fee deduction option? I'm wondering if the temporary account might trigger additional verification on the IRS side too?

Be very careful about how long you wait. According to IRS Publication 556, taxpayers generally have a limited window to address processing issues before certain automated systems take over. I waited 12 weeks last year thinking it would resolve itself, and ended up with my return being auto-adjusted incorrectly. Had to file Form 12807 (Request for Reconsideration) which took an additional 16 weeks to process. If you hit week 12 with no movement, I strongly recommend taking proactive steps per Section 6213(a) of the Internal Revenue Code.

When my wife and I PCS'd to Fort Bragg last year, we ran into the exact same issue! The ID.me verification kept failing because our cell phones were still registered to our previous address in a different state. What worked for us was visiting the local Taxpayer Assistance Center in person. I made an appointment through the IRS website, brought my military ID, last year's tax return, and two forms of identification. The representative was able to print the transcripts right there! It took about 45 minutes total, but we walked out with everything we needed. Most bases have a TAC within reasonable driving distance.
Military families face this constantly. Not just with IRS. With everything. Been there. Done that. Got the t-shirt. Try the Taxpayer Advocate Service. They help military specifically. Call your installation's legal assistance office too. They have connections. Don't create new accounts. Bad idea. Flags your file. Causes more problems. Trust me on this one.

I was in your exact situation last year. When my refund got delayed: • Called IRS 14 times • Spent 3+ hours on hold • Got disconnected twice • Finally reached someone who confirmed PayPal was causing the delay This year I used Claimyr (https://claimyr.com) and got through to an IRS agent in 15 minutes. They confirmed my PayPal deposit was scheduled correctly. Worth every penny not to waste a day on hold.

There's a significant misconception regarding Treasury Disbursement protocols for third-party financial platforms. The Automated Clearing House (ACH) network processes IRS refunds according to established Federal Reserve parameters, but PayPal operates as a Financial Service Provider (FSP) rather than a traditional depository institution. This distinction means they're not bound by the same Regulation E requirements for immediate fund availability. Most users report receiving funds on the actual DDD, not before.
