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!

This happens more often than people realize. Tax Topic 152 simply means your return is being processed normally. Nothing to panic about. Keep the check for now. Don't spend it. Wait for further instructions. The IRS will send a notice. They'll adjust your refund. The system works slowly but correctly. Document everything. Take photos of the check. Save all correspondence. Be patient.
Just to clarify what others have said - Tax Topic 152 is actually a good sign, not a bad one. It means your return is in normal processing and you're still due a refund (though possibly adjusted). If there was a serious problem, you'd see Tax Topic 151 instead, which indicates a tax offset or debt. I've been tracking my returns carefully for years, and the 152 topic appears on most normal returns at some point in processing.
This reminds me of when I received an Economic Impact Payment after already claiming the Recovery Rebate Credit a few years back. Similar to your CTC situation, but the processing was actually faster than my normal returns. The IRS just adjusted the amount and moved on - much like when you make a simple math error and they correct it automatically. Unlike audit situations where they freeze your entire refund, these credit reconciliations are routine.

FINALLY some good news on this sub!!! I've been stuck in processing hell for 42 days now and was starting to lose my mind! š« So frustrating that the IRS can't just be transparent about these delays! Why do they make us guess what's happening?! Your post gives me hope that maybe, just MAYBE, I'll see movement soon too. This waiting game is absolutely BRUTAL when you're counting on that money!
Did you have any credits on your return? Last year I had a similar timeline but I claimed the Child Tax Credit. The year before that I had a simple return with no credits and it processed in just 14 days. I'm wondering if the tax topic disappearing is specifically related to certain credits being verified.

Just checked my account and the money is there! š Filed through Credit Karma on Feb 1st, got my DDD of 2/25 last week, and Chase just deposited it tonight (2/24) around 8pm. The IRS "deposit date" is more like a "by this date" promise rather than an exact time. Feels like waiting for a package that says "delivery by Thursday" but sometimes shows up Wednesday evening! So relieved this came through - was starting to think I'd have to subsist on ramen until next week!

Different banks. Different times. Credit unions often faster. Big banks sometimes hold longer. Check your bank's policy. Some release government funds early. Others wait until exact DDD. Call your bank directly. Ask about ACH processing times. Specifically for government deposits. Don't rely on general customer service. Ask for ACH department.

I filed on January 29th this year with education credits and had the EXACT same issue! My transcript only showed 768 and 806 until February 17th (two days after PATH lifted), then suddenly the 766 code appeared with my education credit amount. I was shocked by how complicated the whole process was - the IRS really doesn't make this easy to understand. My refund with all credits included was deposited on February 22nd, exactly 24 days after filing.
The collective wisdom around here is "transcript codes are like reading tea leaves" š Seriously though, education credits (AOTC/LLC) do typically appear after PATH restrictions lift, but not immediately. The system processes in batches. Your 768 (EITC) and 806 (withholding) are already there, which is a good sign. Most people see their 766 code appear within 7 days after PATH lifts. One thing to check: look at the expected refund amount on your return. If it's higher than what's currently shown on your transcript (the 768 + 806 amounts), then your education credit is likely still pending and not rejected. Patience is hard when you're waiting for money, I know!

Ever tried calling the IRS directly about your return status? I was in the same boat with TaxAct last month, and after getting frustrated with the lack of updates, I used Claimyr (https://youtu.be/_kiP6q8DX5c) to get through to an actual IRS agent. Why wait for weeks in uncertainty when you can talk to someone who can see exactly what's happening with your return? I was connected within 25 minutes instead of spending hours on hold or getting disconnected.

I've used TaxAct for exactly 7 tax seasons now. This year I filed on January 31st, 2024 and received my refund on February 21st, so it took 21 days precisely. Last year it took 18 days, and the year before that it was 24 days. From my experience, TaxAct itself doesn't affect processing time - it's more about when you file, what credits you claim, and whether your return gets selected for additional review. The software is just the messenger.

ā¢I'm sticking with TaxAct because it saves me $40 compared to TurboTax! So happy I found it three years ago. My refund came through in just 14 days this year - fastest ever! š But I did notice that my state return took FOREVER - almost 5 weeks! The federal was quick though.
