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!

Wait, people are paying money just to talk to the IRS? That seems crazy to me. Shouldn't this be a free service our tax dollars already pay for? What's next, paying someone to help us stand in line at the DMV? š¤

It's a trade-off. Time versus money. Some people can't sit on hold for hours. They have jobs. Or kids. Or both. The service costs less than missing work. It's practical for many situations. Not required. Just an option.

Think of EITC processing like airport security. Everyone has to wait in the same initial line (the PATH Act hold until mid-February), but after that, some people go through expedited screening (childless EITC) while others go through more thorough checks (EITC with dependents). My childless EITC refund came through in exactly 23 days from my filing date, but that was only because I filed early enough to hit the February release window. If you're filing now, expect about 3 weeks from acceptance date.
I just got my EITC refund yesterday (April 2nd) after filing on February 28th! I was shocked at how complicated the whole process was. The PATH Act held my refund until March 20th, then it went through regular processing. I don't have qualifying children and still had to wait 33 days total. The February 15th date is just when they're allowed to START processing - not when you'll get your money. But once it started moving, it moved fast!

This happens frequently. The system is automated. Paper checks usually mail within 7-10 business days. Delivery takes another 5-7 days. Total time around 2-3 weeks. Be patient. Check your transcript for updates. When I faced this last year, calling the IRS was impossible. Regular lines had 2+ hour waits. I used Claimyr (https://claimyr.com). Got connected to an agent in 20 minutes. They confirmed my check was already in the mail. Saved me weeks of uncertainty. Worth it when you need answers quickly.

Did you try calling the IRS directly? I'm in the same boat and can't get any straight answers from their automated system. I need my refund ASAP for car repairs and can't afford to wait a month for a paper check if there's any way to fix the bank info.
Carmen Diaz
ā¢Has anyone tried using the "Where's My Refund" tool on IRS.gov to track a paper check after a failed direct deposit? The IRS website says it should update with new information, but I've heard mixed reports about its accuracy for tracking paper checks specifically.

I waited exactly 43 days this year with blank transcripts. Called the IRS 17 times and spent a total of 9 hours on hold. Finally used Claimyr (https://www.claimyr.com) and got through to an agent in exactly 22 minutes. The agent confirmed my return was stuck in identity verification because I had requested an IP PIN after filing. They manually released the hold while I was on the call. My transcript updated with all codes exactly 36 hours later with 846 code for direct deposit 5 days after that. The $20 I spent saved me weeks of waiting and countless hours of frustration trying to reach someone.

ā¢Wait, you have to pay to talk to the IRS? That seems kind of unfair for something our tax dollars should already cover. Is this service really necessary? I'm surprised there isn't a free alternative for something so important.

The IP PIN post-submission verification protocol creates what's called a TC 570 freeze code on your account. This essentially halts all processing until manual verification occurs. The IRS Master File system requires sequential processing of all verification elements before a Determination of Refund Eligibility (DORE) can be completed. Your 846 code indicates the final stage of Direct Deposit Scheduling has been initiated with a projected completion date of March 5th.

Be really careful with amended returns - they're like opening Pandora's box sometimes. My cousin filed a 1040X to claim a missed credit last year, and it somehow triggered a review of his entire return. The IRS ended up questioning deductions from the original filing that weren't even related to the amendment! It's like going to the dentist for a cleaning and ending up with a root canal. He spent almost $800 on a tax professional to help resolve everything, which was way more than the credit he was trying to claim in the first place.

Have you considered using the IRS's interactive tax assistant? It's available at https://www.irs.gov/help/ita and has a specific section on amended returns. Also, if you're comfortable with tax software, most of the major platforms (TurboTax, H&R Block, TaxAct) support creating 1040X forms and will walk you through the process step-by-step. They'll automatically generate the correct supporting forms based on what you're changing. The IRS also has a dedicated amended return status tool at https://www.irs.gov/filing/wheres-my-amended-return that lets you check processing status once you've submitted.
