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've been filing taxes for 15+ years and honestly, the easiest approach for your situation would be to use the IRS's own Free File Fillable Forms if you're comfortable with a bit of DIY. For the Child Tax Credit specifically, I had a similar issue in 2022 and found that the key is having all your children's SSNs and documentation ready. The recovery process is actually much simpler than the IRS makes it sound - you're essentially claiming a credit you were entitled to but didn't receive. Just make sure you have documentation showing eligibility for the tax year in question.
Success story time! š I was in almost the EXACT same boat last year. Missed out on about $3,600 in Child Tax Credits and was completely lost on how to reclaim them. I ended up using FreeTaxUSA (totally free for federal, like $15 for state) and it walked me through the whole process. The software asked if I'd received the full credit, I said no, and it automatically added Schedule 8812 to my return. Got my refund with the missing credits in about 16 days! Don't overthink it - the right software makes this super easy.

ā¢Thank you! This is reassuring. I've been worrying about this April 15th deadline approaching and feeling overwhelmed, so hearing a success story helps a lot!

Have you tried using the IRS2Go app? Sometimes it updates before the website does. Also, irs.gov/refunds often shows more detailed information than just the WMR tool. I've been tracking my refund using both and found that the transcript (which you can get at irs.gov/individuals/get-transcript) gives the most accurate timeline.

FYI - the lookback option is causing delays for tons of ppl this yr. IRS is doing extra verification on those returns. Most TaxSlayer filers w/ CTC and lookback are seeing 25-30 day processing times rn. If ur WMR bar disappeared, that's actually normal - just means it moved to the next processing stage. Hang tight, ur prob looking at another week or so based on current patterns.

OMG I was literally losing my mind waiting for my refund this year! š« Filed on February 1st and didn't get my money until March 2nd - a whole MONTH of checking my bank account every morning! The approval came on February 28th and then the deposit hit 2 days later. I was so stressed because I needed that money for car repairs! But when it finally came through it was such a relief! š The waiting is the worst part, especially when you're counting on that money!
Grant Vikers
Have you perhaps considered that filing method might affect your timeline? I've noticed that people using certain tax software seem to report slightly faster processing times, though I'm not entirely sure if that's just coincidence. It might be worth checking the IRS2Go app for updates as well, if you haven't already. Sometimes it shows updates a bit sooner than the website, at least in my limited experience. Just a thought that might help while you're waiting.

Think of the tax filing sites like those "free" mobile games - they let you start for free but then hit you with in-app purchases to continue. The key is accessing the truly free options through the IRS portal. The commercial sites create nearly identical-looking pages to confuse people, like how some stores create knock-off products with similar packaging.
Evelyn Xu
OMG how is it so complicated just to file taxes for free?? š« Do I need to create accounts on multiple sites to find one that works for my situation?

If you're concerned about what's happening with your refund, I'd recommend checking your tax transcript using taxr.ai. The IRS transcript codes can be really confusing, but this tool breaks down exactly what each code means for your specific situation. I was worried about a TC 570 on my account, but taxr.ai explained it was just a temporary hold during processing and predicted my DDD accurately. It also shows you the exact refund amount that should be deposited after any adjustments, so you'll know if the IRS made any changes to your expected refund amount.

According to several online resources, including the IRS's own website (https://www.irs.gov/refunds), Chime itself doesn't take fees from tax refunds. However, if you opted to have your tax preparation fees taken out of your refund (sometimes called a Refund Transfer or RT), then those fees would have already been deducted before the money hits your Chime account. You can verify this by checking your tax transcript through the IRS website - the amount listed with code 846 is exactly what should be deposited to your account. If that amount is less than what you expected, it likely means fees were already taken out at the tax processor level, not by Chime.

ā¢Thank you for this thorough explanation. I've been patiently waiting for my refund and was confused about the different amounts shown in different places. This clarifies that the 846 amount is the final deposit amount, which is really helpful information.
