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!

Code 971 can be nerve-wracking but it's actually pretty common! It just means the IRS issued or is about to issue you a notice. Don't panic - it could be anything from a simple acknowledgment to requesting additional documentation. The key is to wait for that notice to arrive (usually within 1-2 weeks) before taking any action. In the meantime, make sure your address is current with the IRS so you don't miss it. Hang in there! 💪

Code 971 just means they're sending you a notice - don't stress too much about it! I've gotten it twice and both times it was just them confirming info or explaining a small adjustment. The waiting is the worst part but most of the time it's really not a big deal. Keep checking your mail and your transcript for updates!
thanks for the reassurance! this is my first time dealing with any codes on my transcript so i had no idea what to expect. really appreciate everyone sharing their experiences here - makes me feel way less anxious about the whole thing 😊

Code 971 with 570 is actually pretty common this time of year - the IRS is just doing their due diligence on your return before releasing your refund. The 04-15-2024 date means you should get a CP05 notice around that time explaining what they're reviewing. In my experience, about 80% of these resolve automatically within 2-3 weeks without any action needed from you. The review could be something as simple as verifying your W-2 matches what employers reported, or double-checking calculations on credits like EITC or CTC. Try not to stress too much - the fact that you have a specific notice date is actually a good sign that it's moving through the system normally.
This is really reassuring! I was getting pretty anxious about it, especially since this is my first time seeing these codes. The CP05 notice explanation makes sense - I did claim the Child Tax Credit this year for the first time since my daughter was born in 2023, so they're probably just verifying that. Thanks for the percentage breakdown too, that really helps put it in perspective. I'll wait for the notice and try not to overthink it!
I just went through this exact situation a few months ago! The 971/570 combo you mentioned is actually really common - it just means the IRS put a temporary hold on your refund while they verify something. In my case, they were cross-checking my employer's W-2 data with what I reported. The whole process took about 3 weeks from the 971 date, and then I got both the notice in the mail AND my refund direct deposited on the same day. The notice was basically just "we reviewed your return, everything checks out, here's your money." Keep checking your transcript every Friday (that's when they typically update) - you'll likely see a 571 code appear when the hold is released, followed by your refund date. Hang in there!
This is exactly what I needed to hear! The timeline you mentioned really helps - I've been checking my transcript obsessively every day, so knowing to focus on Fridays will save my sanity. The fact that you got your refund and notice on the same day is encouraging too. I'll keep an eye out for that 571 code you mentioned. Really appreciate you sharing your experience - it's so much better hearing from someone who actually went through the same thing rather than just reading generic explanations online!

Those codes are definitely concerning! Code 810 (refund freeze) combined with 971/977 (amended return codes) when you didn't file an amended return suggests the IRS may have made an adjustment to your return. The 570 code with 07-30-2024 date likely means no action will be taken until then. I'd recommend calling the IRS again and specifically asking about the refund freeze and why an amended return shows when you didn't file one. You might also want to request they send you a copy of any correspondence or notices that should have been mailed to you. Don't wait until July - be proactive!
This is really helpful advice! I'm dealing with something similar and didn't realize I could ask for copies of correspondence. How do you specifically ask for that when you call? Do you need to reference a particular form number or just explain what you're looking for?
Those transcript codes are definitely red flags! Code 810 (refund freeze) usually means the IRS flagged something for review, and the 971/977 codes appearing when you didn't file an amended return could indicate the IRS made adjustments on their end. The July 30th date on code 570 might be a review deadline, but I wouldn't wait that long. I'd suggest calling back and asking specifically: 1) Why is there a refund freeze? 2) What triggered the amended return codes when you didn't file one? 3) Request they check for any undelivered notices. Also consider visiting your local Taxpayer Assistance Center if phone calls aren't getting results - sometimes face-to-face gets better answers.

Based on previous filing seasons, I've noticed PA refunds follow a pattern. Early filers (January) typically see 3-4 week turnaround. Peak season filers (February-March) experience 5-7 week waits. Late filers often receive refunds faster, sometimes in just 2-3 weeks. This matches what happened in 2022 and 2023. The system seems designed to handle the largest volume in the middle of tax season.

Just got my PA refund yesterday! Here's my timeline: • Filed: February 1, 2024 • Status changed to "Processing": February 3 • Status changed to "Under Review": February 17 • Status changed to "Approved": March 12 • Direct deposit received: March 14 Total time: 42 days from filing to deposit. Hope this helps give you a concrete example!

•This is exactly the kind of detailed timeline I was hoping to see! It's really helpful to know that "Under Review" doesn't necessarily mean there's a problem - just part of their normal process. Your 42-day timeline gives me a realistic expectation since I'm also a February filer. Did you do anything specific when it went to "Under Review" status or just wait it out?
