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 had a client on March 15, 2023 who didn't check before filing. Their $5,400 refund was completely offset for child support. They filed on January 28th and didn't find out until February 22nd when their refund was significantly less than expected. By April 10th, they had to postpone their home purchase because they were counting on that money for closing costs. Don't make the same mistake - call 1-800-304-3107 BEFORE you file so you can plan accordingly.
From what I've seen in this community, there are three key things you need to know: 1. Call the Treasury Offset Program at 1-800-304-3107 for federal offsets 2. File Form 8379 (Injured Spouse) to protect your portion of the refund 3. Contact your state's child support enforcement agency for the most accurate balance information The consensus here is that you should check BEFORE filing your return so you can make an informed decision about filing jointly vs. separately.
Yes, once you've filed jointly, you cannot switch to filing separately for that tax year. However, you can still file Form 8379 (Injured Spouse) to request your portion of the refund back if it gets offset.

ā¢Just to clarify - even if your refund gets offset, the child support debt doesn't go away. The offset amount is applied to the debt, but any remaining balance will continue to accrue interest and could affect future refunds.

OMG I was FREAKING OUT about this exact same thing last week! The one-bar to "processing" change is actually a GOOD sign! It means they've finished the initial verification and are now preparing your refund. I was so relieved when I figured this out! The IRS system follows a specific pattern: 1. Return Received (one bar) 2. Still Processing (verification complete) 3. Approved (final stage before deposit) Most people see their deposits 2-7 days after hitting the "Still Processing" message. You're almost there!

Instead of just relying on WMR, I'd recommend checking your tax transcript directly on IRS.gov. When I had this exact situation, my transcript showed code 846 (refund issued) even while WMR was stuck on "processing". The transcript is the actual backend system and updates more reliably than the WMR tool. Look specifically for TC 150 (return filed), 570 (additional review if present), and 846 (refund issued). Such a relief when I finally figured out how to interpret these codes!

Have you tried checking your tax transcript? It often shows your DDD before WMR updates. Did you file with any credits or deductions? Are you seeing any particular codes on WMR? What filing method did you use?
I was in this exact situation in February. Called the Taxpayer Advocate Service after trying the regular IRS number 9 times with no luck. They confirmed my return was approved and gave me my direct deposit date. Got my money 3 days later. The key was mentioning I had a financial hardship with my business expenses coming due. They prioritized my call because of the business impact. My refund was $4,800 and it saved my inventory order deadline.
What number did you call for the Taxpayer Advocate Service? And did you have to provide any proof of the hardship?
Thank you for sharing this! Definitely going to try this approach tomorrow morning.

The transcript system has been super glitchy this year. I couldn't view mine for 3 weeks after filing, then suddenly it appeared with a DDD. The WMR tool didn't update until after my refund was actually deposited lol.
When I was stuck in this situation last month, I got tired of waiting and tried calling the IRS. Spent hours on hold and kept getting disconnected. Finally used Claimyr (https://claimyr.com) to get through to an agent in about 15 minutes. The agent confirmed my return was just in normal processing with no issues, and gave me my DDD which wasn't showing up anywhere else yet. Totally worth it to stop the anxiety of wondering what was happening.
Omg thank you for this tip! I've been going crazy checking WMR like 5 times a day. Might try this tomorrow if nothing changes!

OMG I was JUST about to post this exact question!!! Filed 2/8, accepted same day, and my transcript FINALLY updated yesterday! Almost a month of waiting! I was getting so worried because I need my refund for car repairs, but everything processed perfectly once it finally started moving. Hang in there!

Quick q - did u claim any credits like CTC or EITC? Those always take longer bc of extra verification steps. My brother and I filed same day (2/7) but his had EITC and took 2 wks longer for transcript update.
