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!

Has anyone noticed if this happens more with certain tax software? My TaxAct return last year showed up in transcripts right away, but my brother used FreeTaxUSA and had a similar delay to what you're describing. I'm wondering if some preparation software transmits differently compared to others?

Could it be that the IRS systems are just overwhelmed right now? I was worried about the same thing last month, but my transcript finally updated after about 18 days. What if the acceptance is just the first step in a much longer queue? My return was pretty simple too - just W2 income and standard deduction. Anyway, my transcript eventually showed up and my refund followed about a week later. Hang in there!

Watch out for the "kiddie tax"! My daughter didn't file when she made about $3000, but she had a small investment account I set up that earned $200 in dividends. The IRS sent us a notice a year later saying she should have filed and owed taxes on the unearned income! Had to pay the tax plus a small penalty. So frustrating because no one told us about this weird rule for dependents with investment income. š”
I've been a volunteer tax preparer for years, and here's what I tell parents of first-time workers: While filing isn't required below $12,950 for 2023, it's still a good educational opportunity. I had my kids file their first returns regardless of the amount. Helps them understand withholding, tax brackets, and the whole process. Plus, if she plans to work more next year, she'll already be familiar with the process. Many free filing options available that make it pretty painless.

The acceptance delay doesn't necessarily indicate a problem with your return. IRS processing occurs in batches, and early season returns often face variable timeframes. What matters is whether TurboTax shows a rejection notification. If not, your return is still in process. The transcript unavailability is expected until acceptance occurs. Most importantly, document your submission confirmation from TurboTax as proof of timely filing.
Is there any impact on processing time based on claiming specific credits? According to Internal Revenue Manual 3.42.5.18.2, certain returns with refundable credits like EITC or ACTC are subject to additional verification steps that can delay acceptance notification. Would this apply in OP's situation?

ā¢I believe I should mention that if you filed with dependents or certain credits, your return might be held for additional review. I've seen this happen with several community members I've helped. It's not necessarily a bad thing, just part of the verification process. Maybe check if you claimed any credits that might trigger additional scrutiny?
You might want to check your TurboTax account for any possible rejection notices that perhaps didn't get emailed to you correctly. I had a similar situation last year, and it turned out my return was rejected due to a minor AGI mismatch, but the notification went to my spam folder. If you don't see any rejection notices in your TurboTax account, it's probably still processing, which seems to be taking longer for many people this year from what I've read.

Matching info is good. Very good. Check for code 846. That's the refund code. Look for a date next to it. That's your payday. Military moves are expensive. Hope you get it soon. Try checking transcript again tomorrow. Sometimes updates overnight. Good luck with the PCS.
Nolan Carter
I was in the exact same situation last week! Matching transcript info is definitely a positive sign. My timeline was: ā¢ Feb 18: Return accepted ā¢ Mar 2: Transcript updated with matching info ā¢ Mar 6: Code 846 appeared with DDD ā¢ Mar 8: Money in my account I was so relieved when it finally came through. We're also military and had a PCS coming up, so I totally understand the stress of waiting for that refund to help with moving expenses. Hang in there!

I went through this exact situation. The IRS website (irs.gov/businesses/small-businesses-self-employed) has a whole section on self-employment tax obligations. According to TurboTax's estimator, with $18k and two dependents, you're looking at a decent refund if those are your only income sources. But don't count on others' situations - tax circumstances vary wildly. I've seen people with identical incomes get completely different refunds based on their specific deductions and credits.

ā¢It's like comparing apples and oranges when people talk about tax refunds! Think of it this way: your tax situation is like a unique fingerprint - the same basic pattern as everyone else, but with details that are yours alone. I'm amazed at how many factors go into the final calculation.

Let me share my *totally hypothetical* š experience from last year with similar numbers. Made about $19.5k in self-employment income, have two kids, and got back around $4,800. The key is keeping good records of all business expenses - mileage, home office (if applicable), supplies, insurance, phone bills, etc. I was worried about an audit too, but my accountant explained that the IRS is mostly looking for major discrepancies, not small businesses reporting reasonable income and deductions. Just don't claim your trip to Hawaii as a "business expense" and you should be fine!
