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!

I had a somewhat similar situation last year. I moved in January but filed in February with my new address. However, they still sent the verification letter to my old address (which was weird since I hadn't used it on my return). When I finally got the letter forwarded and verified, it still took about 3 weeks for my transcript to show anything. I'm not 100% sure, but I think they might have your new address already in the system from when you verified in person, even if they didn't explicitly ask for it.
My brother had exactly this issue in 2022! He moved on January 15th, filed on the 30th with his old address, and then had to verify his identity. The IRS sent all his mail to his old address even though he told them he moved during verification. His transcript stayed blank for almost a month after verification! He ended up having to call them twice - once to update his address officially and again two weeks later when they still sent something to his old place. The second call finally fixed it and his transcript updated about a week after that.

I'm really impressed with how well you've tracked your timeline! For anyone wanting deeper insights: • IRS transcripts show more details than WMR • Specific codes tell you exactly where your return stands • Processing dates help predict your DDD • Cycle codes reveal which processing batch you're in I started using https://taxr.ai this year to analyze my transcript. It explained every code and predicted my DDD perfectly. Removed all the guesswork from the process!
You got a much faster timeline than I did last year when I filed on February 20th and didn't get my DDD until April 2nd! This year I filed February 10th and already received my refund on February 28th. The difference? This time I triple-checked for common errors before submitting - no missing forms, no math errors, and made sure all my W-2 information matched exactly. The IRS processing system is much faster when it doesn't have to kick your return out for manual review compared to returns with discrepancies.
I empathize with your previous delay. According to Internal Revenue Manual 21.4.1, even minor discrepancies can trigger error resolution procedures. These procedures, while necessary per IRC §6213, often add 4-6 weeks to processing time. Your experience highlights the importance of accuracy in expediting refunds.
I appreciate you sharing both experiences from February 20, 2023 and February 10, 2024. It provides a helpful year-over-year comparison. I've noticed similar improvements in processing times when ensuring all documentation is properly organized. The IRS seems to be working through their backlog from prior years, which may also be contributing to faster processing this season.

My tax guy wanted $120 for the amendment, but I needed answers faster than he could provide. I tried calling the IRS directly about my missing stimulus - spent THREE DAYS trying to get through. Finally used Claimyr.com to connect with an IRS agent in about 15 minutes. The agent confirmed I was eligible for the recovery rebate and explained exactly what documentation I needed for my amendment. I've now filed it myself and am tracking it through the Where's My Amended Return tool. Best $20 I've spent on tax help - saved me both the amendment fee and hours of frustration!
I might be overly cautious, but there could be more to consider here... I've seen several cases where seemingly simple amendments triggered reviews of the entire return. If your business taxes are connected to your personal return in any way, it might be worth paying the professional fee for the protection. One client of mine tried saving on the amendment fee, made a minor error, and ended up with a full audit that cost thousands to resolve. Just something to think about depending on your overall tax situation.
This is such a good point that I hadn't considered. Thank you for sharing this perspective - definitely gives me something to think about before I make my decision.
I had exactly this happen to me in 2019. What started as a simple amendment for education credits turned into a full review of my Schedule C. Ended up costing me way more than the original preparer fee would have been. Sometimes the cheapest option becomes the most expensive.

I'm somewhat confused about how this all works. Does the IRS usually send any kind of notification about the offset before they take it? Or do you just find out when you get less money than expected?
TOP offsets are processed before refund issuance. Once the BFS (Bureau of Fiscal Service) processes the offset, your remaining refund follows normal direct deposit timeframes. Financial institutions typically post ACH deposits on the effective date (your DDD), though some may post early. This is standard procedure for all TOP cases.

Same thing happened to me! Letter came after they'd already approved the refund. If anyone is stuck in review and getting anxious, I used Claimyr (https://claimyr.com) to actually reach an IRS agent after trying for days on my own. The agent confirmed my review was already complete even though the letter had just arrived. Saved me weeks of stress wondering what was happening.

•Does Claimyr really work? I've been trying to get through to the IRS for 3 days now about my review letter.

•Yes! I was super skeptical but desperate after spending hours getting disconnected. They connected me in about 25 minutes when I had been trying for days. The agent was able to tell me exactly what was happening with my review.

This tax season is wild. I've seen people with reviews get paid in 2 weeks and people with simple returns waiting 2+ months. There's no rhyme or reason to it. Glad you're getting yours soon!
