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!

The early deposit feature might possibly depend on several factors, including your banking institution, whether you're receiving your refund via direct deposit or another method, and potentially the tax preparation service you used. Generally speaking, the DDD is when the funds are released by the IRS, but your bank may make them available sooner at their discretion.
But why would some banks hold the money when they already have it? Isn't that just them earning interest on our money for an extra day or two? Seems like the online banks have figured out that giving people their money faster is good customer service, while traditional banks are stuck in old practices.

ā¢Thanks for this detailed explanation! I appreciate everyone's insights on this topic.

I can share my experience from last year - I had a DDD of 2/28 and banked with Wells Fargo. The deposit showed up exactly on 2/28 at around 6 AM. This year I switched to a local credit union and I'm curious to see if there's any difference in timing. From what I've gathered reading everyone's responses, it really does come down to your specific financial institution's ACH processing policies. The IRS does their part consistently, but banks handle the final step differently. I'd suggest checking your bank's website or calling them directly to ask about their Treasury/government payment processing timeline - most customer service reps can tell you their typical posting schedule for ACH transfers.

Tip from someone who's been there: make sure you check if your CD interest is simple or compounded. My bank advertised a great rate but buried in the fine print that it was simple interest, not compound. Makes a difference in how much you actually earn and therefore how much tax you'll pay. Just something to double check!
Sophia Clark
ā¢This is such a good point! My credit union CD compounds daily which makes a noticeable difference compared to monthly or quarterly compounding. Read the fine print people!
Thanks everyone for all the helpful info! This thread has been super educational. I had no idea about the timing of when interest gets reported vs when CDs are opened. Sounds like I'm in the clear for my 2024 taxes since I just opened these in October. I'm definitely going to keep an eye out for those 1099-INT forms next January. Since I'm already dealing with 1099 contractor stuff, adding another form to track isn't too bad. At least CD interest seems more straightforward than estimated quarterly payments! One quick follow-up question - do credit unions send the 1099-INT forms at the same time as banks? My credit union is pretty small and sometimes they're slower with paperwork compared to the big banks.
Mei Lin
ā¢Credit unions are required to follow the same IRS deadlines as banks for sending 1099-INT forms - they must be mailed by January 31st. However, you're right that smaller credit unions can sometimes be a bit slower with their processing. I'd recommend checking with your credit union directly about their typical timeline, especially since some smaller institutions batch their tax forms differently than big banks. If you don't receive your 1099-INT by early February, definitely follow up with them. You're still required to report the interest income even if the form is delayed, so keep track of any interest payments you receive throughout the year just in case!

just called the state tax office and they said theres a system wide delay affecting some 2/14 deposits. should be resolved by end of week
Tami Morgan
ā¢ty for the update! at least we know whats going on now
StarStrider
I'm in the same situation with a 2/14 state refund date! Still waiting but feeling a bit better after reading that there's a system-wide delay. Has anyone tried checking their state's "Where's My Refund" portal to see if there's any updated status info?

I'm in the same situation! Filed early and got the 2/14 date too. Been refreshing my banking app every hour like it's going to magically appear lol. Reading through these comments is actually really helpful - didn't realize Valentine's Day being a holiday could affect processing times. Guess I'll try to be patient for a few more days before I start panicking!

Just a warning to anyone thinking about reporting someone - make absolutely sure you're right before doing it. My neighbor reported my small business because I have a lot of clients coming to my home office and she assumed I wasn't reporting the income. IRS did contact me and I had to provide documentation, but thankfully I keep meticulous records. The audit was still super stressful even though I hadn't done anything wrong. When it was all over, the IRS agent actually told me they get a lot of "neighborhood dispute" reports that turn out to be nothing. I'm pretty sure my neighbor was just mad about the extra cars parking on our street.

ā¢That's messed up! Did you ever confront your neighbor about it? I'd be so tempted to let them know that I knew what they did.

ā¢I never directly confronted her, but the IRS agent told me they don't reveal who made the report, so I couldn't be 100% certain anyway. I did make a point of mentioning very loudly during our next neighborhood BBQ that I'd recently passed an IRS audit with flying colors and how the agent mentioned they get lots of false reports from nosy neighbors. The look on her face told me everything I needed to know. Honestly, it wasn't worth escalating the conflict. I just installed better parking guidance for my clients and focused on keeping my business growing. Living well is the best revenge!

This is really helpful info, everyone! I'm in a similar situation where I suspect a contractor has been underreporting income. From what I'm reading here, it sounds like the key is having solid documentation rather than just suspicions. A few follow-up questions for those who've been through this: 1. What kind of evidence is most compelling to the IRS? Bank records, receipts, witness statements? 2. Is there any risk of retaliation if the person figures out who reported them? I know the IRS doesn't reveal the reporter's identity, but in small communities it might be obvious. 3. For those who mentioned the reward programs - is it worth going through the Whistleblower Office (Form 211) even for smaller cases, or should I stick with the basic fraud reporting (Form 3949-A)? I'm leaning toward reporting because it's clearly a pattern of behavior, not just a one-time mistake. But I want to make sure I do it right and have realistic expectations about what might happen next.

ā¢Great questions! As someone new to this community but who's been researching tax fraud reporting, I can share what I've learned: 1. The IRS seems to prioritize cases with financial documentation - bank statements showing unreported deposits, copies of cash payments, invoices that don't match reported income, etc. Text messages or emails where someone admits to hiding income (like in Brianna's case) are apparently gold. Witness statements help but need to be backed up with concrete evidence. 2. On retaliation risk - this is real in small communities. Even though the IRS keeps reporters anonymous, if you're one of only a few people who would know about someone's tax situation, they might figure it out. Consider whether you have any ongoing business or personal relationships that could be affected. 3. From what others have shared here, Form 211 (Whistleblower) seems worth it even for smaller cases since you might still get up to 15% of collected amounts. The extra paperwork might be worth the potential reward, especially if you're confident in your evidence. Just make sure you're reporting actual tax evasion, not just someone running a cash-heavy business (like Camila's situation). The difference matters a lot!
