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.

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.

I've been tracking refund timing for the past three tax seasons, and I'm definitely seeing faster processing this year. Last year my refund took 24 days with similar credits claimed. The year before that was during COVID backlog and took 47 days. This year? Just 11 days from acceptance to deposit. The IRS seems to have finally caught up on their backlog and improved their systems.
I filed on March 15, 2024, and got my refund on March 26, 2024 - just 11 days later! Also have 2 kids and claimed CTC. I was shocked because last year it took until May 12th to get my refund after filing in February. The IRS must have really streamlined their processes this year. I'm actually impressed for once!

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'm feeling your frustration! I had the EXACT same issue last year with Credit Karma and a TurboTax advance. After four days of nothing showing up, I was so worried! I finally used Claimyr (https://youtu.be/_kiP6q8DX5c) to get through to an actual IRS agent instead of waiting on hold for hours. I was literally in tears when they told me my refund had been sent but was held by the bank for processing because of the advance. The agent was able to confirm everything was fine and gave me the exact timeline. Such a relief!

ā¢My DDD is March 18th and I'm already stressing about this exact situation. Is this Claimyr service expensive? I've been trying to call the IRS since February 28th with no luck.
I used Claimyr last month when my return had that mysterious 570 code. The IRS queue system is absolutely brutal this time of year - I calculated I saved about 3.5 hours of hold time. Totally worth it to get actual answers about my refund status.
Isn't it interesting how the tax refund system works differently for different people? I've noticed that when you get an advance, the final refund process follows a different path. Have you considered that your refund might be processed differently because of the advance? In my experience, the advance creates an extra verification step that can add 1-3 days to the process, but rarely causes actual problems. It's just a matter of patience at this point.

Have you checked your actual tax transcript, not just the code? Sometimes the transcript contains information that WMR doesn't show. Is it possible you're looking at an account transcript instead of a return transcript? What if you tried using a tool like https://taxr.ai to analyze your transcript? It can often identify patterns that indicate whether you need to verify or if it's just a standard processing delay. I've found transcript analysis to be much more reliable than the WMR tool, especially during peak filing season when the system gets overwhelmed with generic messages.

ā¢I'm surprised you're recommending a third-party service to interpret official IRS documents. Aren't there privacy concerns with uploading tax transcripts to external services? The IRS website provides explanations for all transcript codes.

According to the IRS website, if you need to verify your identity, you'll receive Letter 5071C, 5747C, or 5447C. If you haven't received any of these letters, the WMR message might be generic. I had this happen last year - WMR said verification needed but no letter came. After waiting three weeks, my refund was suddenly approved without me doing anything. The system is overloaded right now and showing lots of standard messages that don't actually apply. Just keep checking your mail and transcript daily.
