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!

I received exactly $3,600 in advance CTC payments for my 1 child last year ($300 Ć 12 months), and my Letter 6419 arrived on January 18th. The IRS is sending out approximately 36 million of these letters, so they're being delivered in batches. If you received the full advance amount, you'll claim the remaining $1,800 on your 2023 return (total $5,400 for children under 6). For children 6-17, the total is $3,600 with $1,800 remaining to claim if you received all advance payments.
Caesar Grant
Has anyone compared the information on their Letter 6419 with what's shown in their IRS online account? According to the National Taxpayer Advocate report (https://www.taxpayeradvocate.irs.gov/reports/2023-annual-report-to-congress/), there were discrepancies in some cases last year. I'm curious if this is still happening with the current batch of letters.

Can I ask which tax year you used for your look back? 2021 or 2022? I've noticed people using 2022 seem to be getting processed faster than those using 2021, but I'm not sure if that's just coincidence or if there's actually a pattern there.
This is incredibly helpful information, thank you! Isn't it interesting how something designed to help people get larger refunds also creates these processing complications? I wonder if the IRS has considered streamlining this process given how many people rely on these credits.
Has anyone who used look back for self-employment income received their refund yet? My situation is a bit different since I'm using look back for Schedule C income rather than W-2 wages. Just wondering if that adds even more time to the process?

I tracked several look back returns this season. Filed on January 29th, 2024. Return processed March 12th. Refund deposited March 15th. Total 46 days. My colleague filed February 5th with look back. Still processing as of April 2nd. Already at 57 days. The income verification adds time but varies by tax center. Memphis processing center seems slower than Kansas City for these specific returns.

I filed Jan 29th, accepted Feb 13th, and also got the errors department runaround. Spent THREE DAYS calling the IRS number and could never get through. Used Claimyr (https://claimyr.com) after someone recommended it here, and got connected to an agent in about 15 minutes. The agent was actually helpful and told me my return was flagged for income verification but was cleared last week. Got my refund 5 days after that call. Worth every penny to not waste days on hold.
Zara Mirza
ā¢Thanks for the tip! I'm going to try this tomorrow. Did they tell you specifically what the issue was or just that it was cleared?
Ethan Moore
ā¢The agent told me exactly which line item triggered the review (was a 1099 from a side gig that didn't match their records exactly). She also gave me the exact date it was cleared and when to expect my refund. Way more info than I ever got from previous calls.
The IRS is severely understaffed this year. I know someone who works there and they said returns with even minor discrepancies are getting kicked to the errors department automatically, and then it takes weeks for someone to look at them. If you claimed any credits like EIC or CTC, that can trigger extra scrutiny too.

No, it's definitely the actual refund. When you get rejected for the advance but still have fees taken out, that's the final refund minus the preparation fees. I've been through this process three years in a row now. The advance rejection happens when they can't verify certain information, but the actual refund still processes normally. The timing matches perfectly with this year's processing schedule for returns filed in early February.
Joy Olmedo
I track refund patterns every year and noticed several things about this tax season: ā¢ Direct deposits are processing 2-3 days faster than last year ā¢ Returns with Child Tax Credit seem to be prioritized ā¢ Bank processing times vary wildly (Chase and Wells Fargo often release a day early) ā¢ Advance rejections are up 18% this year based on forum reports ā¢ The IRS batches refunds on specific days (usually Monday/Tuesday/Friday) Your experience fits right into what I'm seeing across the board. The system is definitely more efficient than last year!

I went through this exact situation two weeks ago. Here's what I learned: First, the N/A transcript means your return is in the pre-processing queue. Second, returns with Child Tax Credit are subject to additional verification under the PATH Act. Third, the IRS is experiencing higher than normal verification delays this year. Fourth, most returns with this status are resolved within 45-60 days from filing. Fifth, calling before that timeframe rarely provides additional information. I understand how frustrating this waiting period is, especially when you're counting on that money.

File IRS Form 911 immediately! Per Internal Revenue Manual 13.1.7.2, Taxpayer Advocate Service intervention is warranted after 30 days of processing delay if financial hardship exists. Document any expenses dependent on refund funds. Submit via fax to your local TAS office by COB tomorrow. Include all filing documentation. Reference IRC Section 6402 regarding timely processing requirements. Do not wait for automated systems to update! TAS can expedite processing in 5-7 business days in hardship cases.
