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!

Isn't it interesting how the IRS expects us to file on time or face penalties, but they can just arbitrarily decide to process returns out of order with zero transparency? The community wisdom here is clear: file in March if you want your refund quickly. Early filers are essentially punished for being prompt. I've seen this pattern for three years running now. Early February filers wait the longest while March filers sail through. Anyone else notice this trend?
According to Internal Revenue Manual 3.30.123, the IRS is authorized to implement systemic workflow management procedures during peak filing season. Has anyone who was resequenced received any formal notification from the IRS about this status? I'm wondering if there's a specific notice number or explanation provided when this happens, or if you're just left in the dark until your refund eventually processes.

I NEED TO WARN YOU about something important! While it's great your 2024 return is processing, be extremely careful about the congressional inquiry for 2023. My friend went that route and it triggered an automatic review of BOTH tax years! The IRS suddenly put a hold on her 2024 refund that was about to be issued while they investigated the 2023 situation. I'm not saying don't contact your representative, but be prepared that it might cause them to look at your entire tax history. Make sure you have ALL your documentation ready for both years just in case. The IRS systems are connected in ways that aren't always obvious to us as taxpayers!

Have you considered that this might actually work in your favor from an interest perspective? The IRS is required to pay interest on delayed refunds after 45 days from the filing deadline or the date you filed, whichever is later. Wouldn't it be better in some ways to have your 2023 refund delayed if you're going to receive interest on that amount? Of course, this assumes you don't urgently need those funds right now. Another approach might be checking if you qualify for assistance through the Taxpayer Advocate Service, which can sometimes move things along faster than a congressional inquiry.

ā¢The interest accrual on delayed refunds is governed by IRC Section 6611(e), which specifies that interest begins 45 days after the return was filed or the due date, whichever is later. However, it's important to note that this interest is reported as taxable income on your next year's return via Form 1099-INT. The current interest rate is 7% annually, compounded daily, which translates to approximately 0.019% per day. While this is higher than many savings accounts, it's not necessarily an optimal financial strategy given the uncertainty of when the funds will actually be received.
Regarding the interest on delayed refunds: ā¢ Yes, IRS pays interest after 45 days ā¢ But interest is taxable income the following year ā¢ Uncertainty of payment timing makes financial planning difficult ā¢ Congressional inquiry might still be faster than waiting for interest ā¢ Interest payments don't compensate for inability to use funds now Has anyone calculated whether the interest actually offsets the inconvenience of waiting?

According to Internal Revenue Manual section 21.4.1.3, the IRS is required to process returns claiming EITC and ACTC after February 15th, but there is no mandated timeline for how quickly this must occur. Last year, I filed January 18th and didn't receive my refund until March 14th despite PATH lifting on February 15th. This year seems to be following a similar pattern for many early filers with credits.

Be careful with expectations this year. I used H&R Block and my return got caught in the Refund Integrity Verification Operation (RIVO) process which added 6 weeks to my processing time. Nothing was wrong with my return - just random selection. If your WMR shows "still processing" instead of "being processed," that's often a sign of additional verification. The IRS is particularly careful with returns claiming the Earned Income Credit and Additional Child Tax Credit due to historical fraud issues.

I was in your exact situation last month - waiting on my refund and checking constantly. I tried calling the IRS for three days straight but kept getting the "high call volume" message. I finally used Claimyr (https://claimyr.com) and got through to an actual IRS agent in about 15 minutes. They confirmed my refund was just in normal processing and gave me a much more specific timeframe than the website. It cost a little bit but saved me days of stress and uncertainty.

ā¢Wait, you paid money to talk to the IRS? Couldn't you just keep calling for free? Seems like these services are taking advantage of people's desperation during tax season.

Having TT fees taken from your refund is like taking the scenic route instead of the highway - it might be convenient, but it definitely adds time to the journey. The refund has to stop at TurboTax's bank partner first, they take their cut, then send the rest to you. It's never going to be faster than direct deposit without the middleman. For cycle code 0605, think of Thursday as your "update day" - that's when you'll see movement on your transcript, but the actual money usually follows about a week later.
