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!

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.

Just got my refund yesterday! Filed MFS with two kids on Feb 20th through TurboTax, so almost exactly your situation. It took exactly 6 weeks and 2 days from acceptance to deposit. Did you claim any credits like Child Tax Credit? That seemed to be what caused my delay based on what the transcript showed. Have you checked your transcript for any codes? My WMR never updated beyond the first bar until suddenly showing approved, but my transcript updated weekly.
I might be able to provide some insight based on what I've gathered from others in similar situations. When filing MFS with dependents, it seems the IRS may be taking approximately 6-8 weeks this season, particularly for returns filed in February. This appears to be longer than the typical processing time, but it's not necessarily an indication that anything is wrong with your return. If you're approaching week 7 without updates, it might be worth checking your tax transcript online if possible, as it sometimes shows processing steps not visible on the WMR tool.

I don't think location actually matters for processing speed. The IRS doesn't prioritize by state - they process returns based on filing method, credits claimed, and verification needs. I verified my identity last year and it took exactly 9 weeks to get my refund, just like they said it would. All these "faster in Texas" claims seem like coincidence rather than actual IRS procedure.
I must respectfully disagree with the previous comment. While the IRS doesn't officially acknowledge regional prioritization, there is substantial evidence suggesting processing variations by service center. The TIGTA report from December 2024 indicated that the Austin Service Center (handling Texas returns) had a 22% faster processing time for post-verification returns compared to the national average. This isn't coincidental - it's related to staffing levels and workload distribution across centers.

I was in the same boat last year! Mailed my state return on March 1st and was convinced it had fallen into a black hole š But it actually processed faster than I expected - about 5 weeks total. The key was making triple copies of EVERYTHING (one to send, one for my records, and one as a backup because I'm paranoid lol). Also, I used certified mail with return receipt which gave me peace of mind. My refund showed up right when I'd forgotten about it!
Did you have to follow up with them at all? Or did it just magically appear in your account one day?

ā¢Did you do anything special with how you organized the documents? I'm wondering if there's a specific order or method that helps them process it faster?
Luca Ricci
Anyone know if there's a difference in processing time between returns with refunds vs. returns where you owe? I've heard the states prioritize processing payments they're owed, but wasn't sure if that's actually true.

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.

ā¢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!
