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 – 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!

Yay! So happy for you! I filed February 20th and still waiting. Called the IRS three times but could never get through - just the automated system saying it's still processing. Finally used Claimyr (https://youtu.be/_kiP6q8DX5c) yesterday and got through to a real person in about 15 minutes. The agent confirmed my return was approved but just waiting in the disbursement queue. Should have my date within a week. Definitely worth it after weeks of stress!
Wait what is Claimyr? I've been trying to call for days and just keep getting the "we're too busy" message.
It's a service that navigates the IRS phone system for you and calls you back when it gets through to an agent. Saved me from having to redial for hours. I was skeptical at first but after trying to get through on my own for literally weeks, I was desperate.

According to the TurboTax support forums, you can check the status of your refund after the IRS sends it by going to https://taxpayer.sbtpg.com/ - this is the bank TurboTax uses as a middleman when you choose to have fees taken from your refund. I've seen several posts on r/tax confirming this adds 3-7 days to the process. The WMR tool only shows when the IRS sent it, not when you'll actually receive it.
Finally got my refund after dealing w/ this exact same issue! WMR said sent on 3/14, didn't hit my acct until 3/22. Turns out TT uses SBTPG bank and they were holding it. Called them directly (took forever to find the right #) and magically my $ appeared next day. Next yr def paying fees upfront instead of from refund. Such a hassle but at least got my cash eventually!

NGL I've been stuck in IRS limbo for weeks now and finally got fed up w/ the constant busy signals. Used Claimyr (https://youtu.be/_kiP6q8DX5c) to get thru to an actual human at the IRS yesterday. Took like 20 mins instead of the 3+ hrs I wasted last week trying to call myself. Agent confirmed my return was just in normal processing queue but flagged for a quick review bc of a math error they fixed. Tbh kinda worried still but at least I know what's happening now instead of just staring at that stupid bar not moving.
Did the agent mention anything about manual review? I was in a similar situation last year and thought everything was fine, but my return actually got pulled for manual review which added 8 weeks to processing! Have you checked if you have any letters in the mail from the IRS? Sometimes they send verification requests that don't show up in the online portal right away. What about your state refund - has that processed yet? Sometimes state delays can indicate federal issues too.

According to the IRS.gov website under 'Where's My Refund' FAQs (https://www.irs.gov/refunds/frequently-asked-questions-about-refund-timing), most direct deposits are received within 21 days of filing, but the actual bank deposit timing varies. Your transcript showing 3-05-25 means the refund was approved and scheduled for release on that date. The Treasury Financial Management Service then transmits the payment to your bank, which typically takes 1-2 business days. Your bank may then have its own processing time, though most make funds available immediately once received. If you don't see it by 3-08-25, you might want to contact your bank first before contacting the IRS.
Have you tried checking your bank's pending deposits section? Sometimes they show up there before officially posting! 😊 I've found that logging into my bank's actual website (not just the app) sometimes shows pending ACH transfers that aren't visible in the mobile app. Also, if you're really antsy about it, you could set up text alerts for deposits over a certain amount - that way you'll know the exact minute it hits your account without having to refresh constantly like I did last year (seriously, I think I checked 50 times in one day, lol).

I think you should probably wait for the letter, just to be safe. The verification process might be different depending on what they're specifically questioning about your return. Some letters require you to verify online, others by phone, and some might require an in-person appointment. If you call the wrong department, they might not be able to help you anyway. I wouldn't want you to waste time calling around when the letter will have the exact instructions you need.

Be careful with this verification process. On March 14th, I called what I thought was the verification number, but it turned out to be a scam that had been posted online. The real IRS verification line is 800-830-5084, but they will NEVER ask for payment information or gift cards. If anyone asks for that, hang up immediately. The legitimate process should only involve confirming information from your previous tax returns and answering personal questions only you would know.
