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 IRS Where's My Refund tool (https://www.irs.gov/refunds) is your best resource for tracking. It updates once daily, usually overnight. The TurboTax advance is completely separate from the IRS process. Your refund timeline is determined by IRS processing, not by TurboTax or the advance you received.

You should understand that the Refund Advance Program from TurboTax is technically a Refund Anticipation Loan (RAL) underwritten by a third-party bank. The IRS processing timeline remains unchanged regardless of this product. The standard e-file processing sequence includes Transmission, Acceptance, Processing, and Disbursement phases. Your return is currently in the Processing phase, which typically concludes within 21 days of acceptance for non-complex returns.

I dealt with this exact situation on January 15th this year. The key distinction is between 'Home of Record' (military administrative term) and 'State of Legal Residence' (tax term). For tax purposes, your military income is only taxable in your state of legal residence. If you've maintained California as your legal residence (kept CA driver's license, still vote there, intend to return), then you file as a CA resident and MO nonresident. You'll need to file Form 540NR for California and Form MO-NRI for Missouri. On the Missouri form, you'll exclude military income under the SCRA exemption. The deadline for filing is April 15th, 2024, so you still have time to get this sorted correctly.

I was in a similar situation with Washington (home of record) and Virginia (stationed). Much easier than your situation though since Washington has no income tax! But the principle is the same as others have mentioned - it's about where you're legally domiciled, not where you're physically stationed. Just like when I moved from Texas to Virginia but kept Texas as my legal residence, you need to be careful about which state you've established as your actual legal domicile. So relieved when I finally figured it all out last year!

Be careful about checking too frequently. According to the IRS website FAQs, transcripts typically update once per week, usually on Friday nights/Saturday mornings. I've been tracking this for several years and found that obsessively checking doesn't make it go faster. In fact, some have reported being temporarily locked out of their accounts for too many login attempts. Best to check once per week, preferably on Saturday mornings when the weekly cycle completes.
The IRS Master File processing cycle technically completes every Friday at 00:00 UTC, which means transcript updates are generally available by Saturday morning Eastern Time. However, the Transaction Code Processing Sequence (TCPS) can vary depending on which department is handling your verification. TC 971 with Action Code 5071 indicates successful identity verification, and this should appear before any refund processing codes (846) can be applied to your account.

OMG I was freaking out about this exact thing last month! After verification, my transcript updated in 7 days - I was so happy I actually cried! The relief was incredible. My husband thought I was crazy but he didn't understand how stressful the waiting game was. Just hang in there - it WILL update, and when it does, the refund usually follows pretty quickly after that. Sending good vibes your way!

Is anyone else noticing that the PATH Act processing seems especially slow this year? I filed on February 12th, got the PATH hold as expected, but I'm still waiting with no updates whatsoever. No letters, no transcript changes, nothing! I'm starting to wonder if there's an unannounced delay affecting everyone or if it's just bad luck for some of us?
Don't assume no letter means you're in the clear. The IRS has been severely understaffed this season, and I've seen cases where review letters were sent 8-10 weeks after filing. Some taxpayers never receive a letter at all until they get a CP05 notice saying their refund is being held pending review. If you filed MFJ for the first time and claimed refundable credits, your return has a higher statistical chance of being pulled for review. Check your transcript weekly and don't count on that refund money until it's actually in your account.

I literally just got my refund on my Serve Card this morning! My DD date was 3/6, and I was pulling my hair out waiting. I need this money for my car payment that's due on Monday. Called the Serve Card automated line about 20 times yesterday, and it kept saying "no pending deposits." Then at 6:17 AM today, I got the deposit notification. So it took 2 days after my official DD date. Hang in there - it's probably coming soon!

Be careful with these prepaid cards. According to IRS Publication 1345 regarding refund delivery, the IRS is only responsible for sending the refund to the financial institution. The timing of when funds are made available by the financial institution falls outside IRS jurisdiction. I had a terrible experience last year where my refund was delayed by 5 days on a similar card. The fine print in the Serve Card agreement states they can hold deposits for up to 5 business days for verification purposes. Check your cardholder agreement for the exact terms.
