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!

Have you checked your tax transcript instead of WMR? Sometimes the transcript updates before the WMR tool does. What filing method did you use? Did you claim any credits like EITC or CTC? When exactly did you file? Are you seeing any particular message on WMR or just the processing status?
The IRS Internal Revenue Manual section 21.4.1.3 actually specifies that normal processing time is 21 days, but can extend to 45 days without requiring explanation to taxpayers. We're seeing unprecedented delays this year despite their claims of improved processing. I've been tracking patterns on various forums, and it appears returns filed between February 7-21 are experiencing the longest delays, especially those with Schedule C or education credits. Try checking your account transcript rather than return transcript - it updates more frequently with current activity.

Have you considered that this might actually be a good sign? When the bars disappear and it says "still processing," it often means your return has moved past the initial automated screening and into human review. I've seen this happen with 3 different returns this year, and all of them received their refunds within 10-14 days after the bars disappeared. The IRS doesn't do a great job explaining these status changes, do they? But in many cases, it's just a normal part of their workflow.
According to the latest IRS processing data, returns filed on March 15, 2024 should be in the 21-30 day processing window right now. The current backlog shows approximately 4.3 million returns in various stages of processing. Returns claiming certain credits (EITC, ACTC, etc.) typically take 6-8 weeks rather than the standard 21 days. If you check your tax transcript online, look specifically for codes 570 (refund hold) or 971 (notice issued), as these would explain the delay and status change from one bar to none.

According to the IRS Master File processing documentation (available at irs.gov/irm), cycle code 04 indicates Wednesday processing in the weekly update cycle. I tracked my transcript daily this season and can confirm that after receiving my cycle code (20241204) on Wednesday, my 846 refund code appeared exactly 2 days later on Friday morning. The direct deposit hit my account the following Monday. The IRS Data Processing Cycle Chart shows this is typical for weekly cycles.

Has anyone else noticed their cycle code changing mid-season? I was always 05 in previous years, but this year I started as 05 and then my amended return showed as 04. Did your refund amount change at all when your cycle code switched?

I went through this exact situation last month. According to the IRS Processing Delays page (https://www.irs.gov/newsroom/irs-operations-during-covid-19-mission-critical-functions-continue), Code 100 is their fast-track verification. My transcript updated exactly 3 days after entering Resolution with Code 100. The Transaction Code 571 appeared first (resolution of previous freeze), followed by 846 (refund issued). You can track these codes on the IRS2Go app or through the online transcript tool. Much more accurate than WMR!
The codes you mentioned are internal IRS processing designations. They aren't published officially but are known through collective experience. Code 100 typically indicates a discrepancy that can be resolved through automated or quick manual review. Most Code 100 cases resolve within 5 business days. Code 900 involves identity verification, prior year discrepancies, or potential fraud indicators. These require more extensive review. Keep checking your transcript daily for the most accurate status.

These aren't scams. They're legitimate tools. Claimyr doesn't access your tax info. It just connects your call. Been verified by tax professionals. Taxr.ai just reads transcripts you upload. No different than asking a tax pro. Both save time. Both optional. Both helpful. Your choice obviously.

Didn't you notice how retirement income processing changed after 2021? My neighbor and I both retired the same year. He filed with just W-2 income (worked until December). I filed with W-2 plus 401k distribution. His processed in 14 days. Mine? 47 days with a verification letter in between. Same tax preparer, similar income amounts. The difference? The income source change triggered verification. Wouldn't it be nice if the IRS was more transparent about these special processing paths?
