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 โ€“ 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!

IRS Recovery Rebate Credit Confusion - Transcript Shows 12/30/24 Issue Date But CP-21B Says Check Coming in 2-3 Weeks

I received a CP-21B notice from the IRS dated January 6th, 2025, but my transcript shows an issue date of December 30th, 2024. The notice says "Changes to your 2021 Form 1040" and shows I'm due a refund because they corrected my Recovery Rebate Credit based on "recent tax laws, rulings, or regulations." The letter is from the Department of the Treasury, Internal Revenue Service, Mail Stop C1 6525, Kansas City MO 64999-0025. It says I should receive a refund check within 2-3 weeks as long as I don't owe other taxes or debts they're required to collect. They mention the refund amount may include interest, which would be taxable income for the year I receive it. The notice gives me options if I don't agree with the changes - call 800-829-8374 to review my account with a representative. It also directs me to visit www.irs.gov/cp21b for more information and mentions I can search "Form 8888" for information about "Changes in Refund due to Math Errors and Refund Offsets under General Instructions for deposit rules." My bank account info is correct and verified, but I'm starting to get worried since rent is coming up soon. I was expecting a direct deposit based on my transcript date, but now I'm confused about whether they're sending a check instead of direct deposit. Has anyone else experienced delays with their direct deposits recently? The notice says 2-3 weeks for a check, but I really needed this money sooner.

Michigan Home Heating Credit Status Disappeared After 8 Weeks - Filed 02/03/2024, Previously "Under Review"

My state refund status for Michigan was showing under review last week. Now when I try to check it, nothing comes up at all. The website won't even show my return exists anymore. I filed my Home Heating Credit Claim (MI-1040CR7) on 02/03/2024 - almost 8 weeks ago. When I go to etreas.michigan.gov and look at the "Please select the return below to view the details for the 2023 Tax Year" section, I can see my Home Heating Credit Claim is listed as "Filed on 02/03/2024" with a "View Status" button. But when I click on it, I'm getting nothing. Last week it at least showed "under review" but now it's like my return doesn't exist in their system at all. The website says "Some Michigan income tax refunds are taking longer than expected to get to" but cuts off mid-sentence. I'm really worried because this is a significant amount of money I was counting on. Has anyone else experienced their Michigan tax return disappearing from the system after previously showing as "under review"? Is this normal or should I be concerned?

Had this happen too, mine disappeared for about 4 days then came back approved! hang in there

IRS Transcript Shows $2,696 Tax Return with $1,700 Credit and $7,830 EIC on 4/15/2025 - How Will My Refund Be Paid?

Looking at my transcript and I'm really confused about the refund amounts I'm seeing. I have my tax transcript in front of me and there are different amounts listed: TRANSACTIONS CODE EXPLANATION OF TRANSACTION CYCLE DATE AMOUNT 150 Tax return filed 20250405 02-11-2025 $3,789.00 76221-421-72975-5 766 Credit to your account 04-16-2025 -$2,600.00 768 Earned income credit 04-17-2025 -$8,830.00 This Product Contains Sensitive Taxpayer Data I'm trying to understand what all these different amounts and dates mean. From what I can see, there's a "Tax return filed" entry for $3,789.00 dated 02-11-2025 with a cycle date of 20250405. Then there's a "Credit to your account" of -$2,600.00 on 04-16-2025, and an "Earned income credit" of -$8,830.00 on 04-17-2025. Does this mean I'll receive multiple refunds? Or will these be combined into one payment? I understand that the negative amounts (-$2,600.00 and -$8,830.00) are credits to me, but I'm confused about how they relate to the $3,789.00 amount. Will I receive a total refund of $11,430.00 ($2,600.00 + $8,830.00)? Or is there some other calculation happening here? Why are there different dates for each entry? Does this mean the payments will come separately on those dates? I'm also not sure what the cycle date means or what that long number (76221-421-72975-5) is referring to. Has anyone dealt with this type of transcript before and can explain what I'm looking at? I just want to understand when my refund is coming and how much I'll actually receive.

Help Decoding My IRS Transcript - Refund Freeze Since 2023, Examination Recently Closed, $10,500+ Credits Showing

I'm completely lost looking at my transcript. It's just a bunch of numbers and codes and I have no idea what any of them mean. Can someone help me figure out what I'm looking at and if my refund is coming soon? Starting to get worried because it's been a few months since I filed. Here's what my transcript shows: RETURN DUE DATE OR RETURN RECEIVED DATE (WHICHEVER IS LATER) Apr. 15, 2023 PROCESSING DATE Apr. 09, 2024 TRANSACTIONS CODE EXPLANATION OF TRANSACTION CYCLE DATE AMOUNT 150 Tax return filed 20241205 04-09-2024 $0.00 76221-419-17943-3 810 Refund freeze 03-10-2023 $0.00 971 Amended tax return or claim 05-27-2023 $0.00 forwarded for processing 977 Amended return filed 05-27-2023 $0.00 43277-550-06373-3 971 Amended/duplicate tax return processed to wrong identifying number or tax p 202212 766 Credit to your account 04-16-2023 -$3,599.00 768 Earned income credit 04-16-2023 -$7,935.00 576 Refund held for review 04-09-2024 $1,020.00 971 Notice issued 04-09-2024 $0.00 420 Examination of tax return 03-23-2024 $0.00 577 Removed refund hold 04-09-2024 -$1,020.00 421 Closed examination of tax return 04-11-2024 $0.00 971 Notice issued 04-30-2024 $0.00 This Product Contains Sensitive Taxpayer Data I see all these codes like 971, 150, 766, etc., and I'm not sure what they mean. There's something about a refund freeze (code 810) from March last year and then something about an amended return in May? I also see "examination of tax return" (code 420) in March of this year that was closed in April (code 421). I notice there was a credit to my account of $3,599 and earned income credit of $7,935 from April 2023, but then I see "refund held for review" in April 2024 for $1,020 that was then removed. Does this mean I'm getting my refund soon? I'm so confused by all these dates and amounts. What's going on with my refund? Why has this taken almost a year to process? Any help deciphering this would be greatly appreciated!

Dmitry Smirnov

Let me break down the most common transcript codes you might see: First, look at your account transcript's cycle date - this tells you when the IRS processes updates. Then check for these codes: - 150: Return filed and entered system - 570: Hold placed on account - 971: Notice issued - 846: Refund issued But honestly, the easiest way to understand everything is using taxr.ai - it scans your transcript and explains everything in plain English, predicts your refund date, and tells you if there are any issues you need to address. Saved me hours of research and stress!

Finally Received My $33k Tax Refund After 13-Month Wait: Transcript Shows Refund Freeze, Multiple Amendments, and Interest Payment

Just got my deposit this morning after waiting since January 2023! Over $33k with interest. Had every issue imaginable - verification needed, income verification, review department, then manual processing. If your still waiting dont give up hope! I filed my tax return before the RETURN DUE DATE of Apr. 16, 2023. My PROCESSING DATE shows Jul. 11, 2023 but the journey was way longer than that. Looking at my transcript: TRANSACTIONS CODE EXPLANATION OF TRANSACTION CYCLE DATE AMOUNT 150 Tax return 20232505 07-11-2023 806 W-2 or 1099 withholding 04-16-2023 810 Refund freeze 03-10-2023 $0.00 766 Credit to your account 04-16-2023 971 Amended tax return or claim 06-16-2023 $0.00 forwarded for processing 977 Amended return filed 06-16-2023 $0.00 768 Earned income credit 04-16-2023 811 Removed refund freeze 06-23-2023 $0.00 971 Amended tax return or claim 06-22-2023 $0.00 forwarded for processing 977 Amended return 06-22-2023 $0.00 290 Additional tax assessed 20232905 08-08-2023 $0.00 846 Refund issued 07-27-2023 776 Interest credited to account 08-08-2023 You can see the refund freeze (code 810) back in March, then the amended return issues, and FINALLY the refund issued (code 846) at the end of July. The interest credited (code 776) was substantial after such a long wait. The IRS put me through everything - they questioned my W-2 withholding, froze my refund while verifying my identity, then I had to file an amended return TWICE! They forwarded my stuff for processing multiple times. The refund freeze being removed (code 811) was a massive relief, but still had to wait another month for the actual refund to be issued. When it finally came, the interest payment was almost $4k on top of my refund amount. So if you're seeing codes like 810, 971, 977 on your transcript and feeling hopeless, hang in there. It eventually works out!
