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!

Is the AGI the same as the MAGI? My tax software is asking for verification but doesn't specify which one. Also, if I filed jointly last year but am filing single this year, do I still use the same AGI from the joint return?
AGI and MAGI are different figures. For IRS verification purposes, you need your AGI from Form 1040 Line 11. Regarding your filing status change: if you filed jointly last year, you still use the full AGI from that joint return for verification purposes, not half or some other calculation. The IRS system is looking for an exact match to the AGI that was processed under your SSN last year.
Has anyone had problems with their AGI not working even when they're sure it's correct? I've tried three times with what I know is the right number from my saved PDF of last year's return, but the IRS keeps rejecting it. Is there somewhere online I can double-check what the IRS actually has on file for me?

Isn't it interesting how something as seemingly simple as knowing which number to use can cause so much stress? I had the same question last year and discovered it's definitely the AGI. What worked for me was logging into the tax software I used last year - they had my returns saved and I could see my AGI right there! Have you tried checking if you still have access to whatever software you used for 2022? Most of them keep your returns on file for several years.

Your situation involves multiple tax components that the IRS processes sequentially rather than concurrently. The initial refund is processed through the standard Automated Underreporter (AUR) system, while the stimulus recovery and unemployment adjustment are handled by the Accounts Management (AM) division. Instead of constantly checking WMR, I recommend pulling your full Account Transcript directly from IRS.gov. Look specifically for Transaction Code 290 with the unemployment adjustment amount or TC 846 for scheduled additional refunds. The IRS typically batches similar adjustments, so you may see movement in the next 2-3 processing cycles.

I'm in a similar timeline as you but with slightly different circumstances. Filed 3/5, got my regular refund on 3/29, but I'm still waiting on an education credit adjustment rather than unemployment. Compared to last year, I'm actually seeing faster processing - last year I waited until June for the second part of my refund. This year's processing seems about 30% faster based on what I'm seeing in various tax forums. My guess is you'll see movement on the second part within the next 2-3 weeks if the pattern holds.

I had this exact problem with my May payment. After waiting 14 days with no resolution, I used https://taxr.ai to analyze my tax transcript. It showed the payment was issued but then had a specific code (846 followed by 971) indicating the check was returned to the IRS. The tool explained exactly what each code meant and predicted a reissue would happen within 10 days. Sure enough, 9 days later I received a reissued check. Without seeing those transcript codes, I would have been waiting much longer not knowing what was happening.
Kyle Wallace
ā¢I've used this tool too. In my case, it showed code 971 with a specific date, which meant they were sending a notice about the payment. Different from the return-to-sender situation, but equally helpful to understand what was happening behind the scenes.
OMG this is so helpful!! š I've been staring at my transcript for hours trying to figure out what all those numbers mean! I had no idea there was a tool that could explain everything!!
I had the same thing happen last month (mail carrier must be collecting these checks, haha). Called USPS first, they said to wait 7 days. Then called IRS, waited on hold for 2.5 hours (not joking), and they said they'd reissue after 4 weeks. BUT! The plot twist - my check randomly showed up 10 days later in my neighbor's mailbox. They had it sitting on their counter for a week before realizing it wasn't theirs. Might be worth checking with neighbors too!

Did they tell you what triggered the review? Was it a specific deduction? Did they mention any documentation you need to provide? Will you get another call?
Jean Claude
According to Internal Revenue Manual section 4.1.3, random selection for review is part of the IRS's Taxpayer Compliance Measurement Program. It's not necessarily indicative of any issues with your return. Most of these reviews complete within the stated timeframe as long as no discrepancies are found. If you don't receive your refund within 3 weeks, you may request a Taxpayer Advocate intervention under IRC section 7811 if the delay creates financial hardship.

Have you tried checking your account transcript instead of just the amended return tool? My amended return status never updated online, but my account transcript showed all the changes. It's similar to how regular refunds work vs. the Where's My Refund tool - sometimes the transcript updates first. Would be worth checking if you haven't already?

I believe... most of us are experiencing similar delays with amended returns. From what I've gathered... the IRS is still working through a backlog from previous years. It might be worth checking your transcript every couple of weeks rather than daily, just to preserve your sanity. Some folks here mentioned seeing movement around the 20-week mark, so perhaps there's light at the end of the tunnel soon.
