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!

Think of EITC processing like airport security. Everyone has to wait in the same initial line (the PATH Act hold until mid-February), but after that, some people go through expedited screening (childless EITC) while others go through more thorough checks (EITC with dependents). My childless EITC refund came through in exactly 23 days from my filing date, but that was only because I filed early enough to hit the February release window. If you're filing now, expect about 3 weeks from acceptance date.
I just got my EITC refund yesterday (April 2nd) after filing on February 28th! I was shocked at how complicated the whole process was. The PATH Act held my refund until March 20th, then it went through regular processing. I don't have qualifying children and still had to wait 33 days total. The February 15th date is just when they're allowed to START processing - not when you'll get your money. But once it started moving, it moved fast!

I'm on day 35 🙃 Filed Feb 1st. Called IRS twice and couldn't get through. Finally used Claimyr (https://claimyr.com) to get past the hold times - got connected to an agent in about 15 minutes. Found out my return was just stuck in the verification queue and nothing was wrong. Agent manually released it and I got my DD two days later. Sometimes you just need to talk to a human to get things moving.
Check your tax year 2023 account transcript, not return transcript. Account transcript will show any holds or processing codes. If you see code 570, that's a hold. If you see 971, that's a notice being sent. 846 is the refund issued code you're waiting for.
Just checked again and my account transcript for 2023 still says N/A. Does that mean they haven't even started processing it yet? 😤
Not necessarily. Sometimes the transcript doesn't update until processing is complete. The N/A status just means there's no completed transcript available yet. As long as your return was accepted (not just submitted), it's in their system being processed.

I've been filing taxes for my small business for 8 years now, and I've noticed a funny pattern - the years I file early, I wait forever. The years I procrastinate (like this year, filed April 5th), I get my refund lightning fast! 😂 Approved in 6 days this time. Maybe the IRS rewards us procrastinators? Or more likely, their systems are less congested now that the early birds are processed.
My brother-in-law and I both filed on the same day last week (April 10th). His simple return (just a W-2) was approved in 4 days. Mine with business income, home office deduction, and quarterly estimated payments is still processing. It's like comparing a highway express lane to being stuck behind a tractor on a country road. The complexity of your return matters way more than when you file it.

I track my TC150 date and DDD religiously every year. My return with an EITC claim was accepted on 2/8, hit with a TC570 hold on 3/4, resolved with TC571 on 3/18, and finally got my TC846 refund issued code on 3/20. Your timeline sounds similar to what many PATH Act affected returns are experiencing this year. The processing backlog seems to be about 2-3 weeks longer than the typical 21-day timeline.
According to the IRS Operations Status page (https://www.irs.gov/newsroom/irs-operations-during-covid-19-mission-critical-functions-continue), they're still working through a backlog from previous years while handling this year's returns. Have you checked your transcript for any specific TC codes? The Where's My Refund tool doesn't show detailed status, but your transcript can tell you exactly where you are in the process.

I waited exactly 43 days this year with blank transcripts. Called the IRS 17 times and spent a total of 9 hours on hold. Finally used Claimyr (https://www.claimyr.com) and got through to an agent in exactly 22 minutes. The agent confirmed my return was stuck in identity verification because I had requested an IP PIN after filing. They manually released the hold while I was on the call. My transcript updated with all codes exactly 36 hours later with 846 code for direct deposit 5 days after that. The $20 I spent saved me weeks of waiting and countless hours of frustration trying to reach someone.

•Wait, you have to pay to talk to the IRS? That seems kind of unfair for something our tax dollars should already cover. Is this service really necessary? I'm surprised there isn't a free alternative for something so important.

The IP PIN post-submission verification protocol creates what's called a TC 570 freeze code on your account. This essentially halts all processing until manual verification occurs. The IRS Master File system requires sequential processing of all verification elements before a Determination of Refund Eligibility (DORE) can be completed. Your 846 code indicates the final stage of Direct Deposit Scheduling has been initiated with a projected completion date of March 5th.
