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 – 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!

I had this exact situation on February 23rd, 2023. Filed on February 7th, 2023 with TurboTax. Got the acceptance confirmation on February 8th, 2023. Checked transcript on February 23rd, 2023 and saw the Non-Filing Verification Letter. Called IRS on February 24th, 2023 and they confirmed my return was in the system but not fully processed. My transcript finally updated on March 9th, 2023 and I received my refund via direct deposit on March 14th, 2023. The IRS representative explained this happens frequently during peak filing season when their systems are processing millions of returns simultaneously. The acceptance confirmation is the key indicator your return was received - the transcript system simply hasn't caught up yet.
So basically we're just stuck in limbo for a month? 😩 Did they at least explain why some returns get processed in days while others take forever? I filed almost the same day as my sister and she got her refund two weeks ago already! Makes me wonder if there's some secret flag on my account or something, lol.
I've been through this process multiple times and here's exactly what's happening: Step 1: Your return is transmitted to the IRS through TurboTax Step 2: The IRS sends an acknowledgment that they've received it Step 3: Your return enters the processing queue Step 4: While in this queue, your transcript still shows as "not filed" Step 5: Once processing begins, your transcript will update The Non-Filing Verification Letter appears because the system is technically correct - your return hasn't completed processing yet. I'm skeptical of quick fixes for this situation. Despite what some suggest, this is simply how the IRS systems work. The confirmation from TurboTax is your proof that the return was submitted successfully. I wouldn't worry unless this continues past March 15th, at which point it might indicate a deeper issue requiring intervention.

I can confirm this timeline is consistent with current IRS processing procedures. Per Internal Revenue Manual 21.4.1.5.7, EITC claims filed early in the season should complete processing within 21 days after the February 15th PATH Act release date. My return was accepted February 3rd, held per PATH Act until February 15th, processed by February 28th, and deposited March 1st. The system is working as designed this year, which is a significant improvement over the 2021-2022 processing delays we experienced during the pandemic backlog.
This is so helpful! I filed on February 12th and was getting worried because today is March 4th and still nothing. But if I count from February 15th like you mentioned, I'm only at 17 days which is still within that 21-day window. I need this money for car repairs ASAP but at least now I know I'm still in the normal timeframe!
Is that 21-day timeframe business days or calendar days? The IRM procedures often specify business days for internal processing metrics, which would extend the expected timeframe significantly. Also, did you claim any additional credits beyond EITC that might trigger additional verification sequences?
Thx for sharing this! Just got my DD today too w/ EITC and CTC. Filed 2/10, accepted same day, WMR updated 2/28, DD today 3/2. Used TT and BoA. Seems like most ppl w/ EITC are getting pmts right around now. Huge relief tbh, was starting to stress bc my car payment is due Monday. Anyone know if the 2nd half of CTC comes separately or was it all included in this refund?

This delay is typical for refunds with Refund Transfer (RT) processing. When you elect to have fees withheld from your refund, your payment goes through Santa Barbara Tax Products Group (SBTPG) which serves as the Authorized IRS e-file Provider. SBTPG receives your refund, deducts authorized fees, then forwards the remainder to your designated financial account. Their processing window is contractually allowed to take up to 5 business days from the IRS Direct Deposit Date, though it's typically completed within 1-3 business days. The Emerald Advance repayment adds an additional reconciliation step to this process.
Just got my refund today after being in exactly your situation. DDD was 2/26, had fees taken out for tax prep, and used CashApp. Money hit my account this morning. This is actually faster than last year when I used a traditional bank and had a 4-day delay after my DDD. CashApp generally processes deposits as soon as they receive them, unlike some traditional banks that might hold them until morning processing cycles. Your money is probably just working its way through TPG's system to pay off your advance before sending the remainder to you.

I went through this exact situation and needed clarity on whether amending was worth it. Called the IRS for three days straight and couldn't get through. Finally used Claimyr.com (https://youtu.be/_kiP6q8DX5c) to connect with an IRS agent in about 15 minutes. The agent confirmed I would benefit from amending and explained exactly how to proceed. Saved me days of frustration and uncertainty. Some things you really need to hear directly from an IRS rep.
Thank you! I might try that service. I've been on hold with the IRS for over an hour today and keep getting disconnected. Did they explain why TurboTax shows it as "in progress" even after getting the refund?
Yes! The agent explained that tax software status and IRS status are completely separate systems. TurboTax is flagging your account for a potential amendment, but has no real-time connection to your actual IRS account status. The "in progress" is basically TurboTax's way of saying "we think you should take action on this account" - not that your original return is still processing.

My verification journey was like waiting for a cake to bake without being able to open the oven door. Verified on Feb 1st, and exactly 32 days later my transcript updated. The refund showed up 6 days after that. The IRS is basically running on computer systems from when disco was popular, so everything takes longer than it should. The 9-week estimate is like when your contractor says the kitchen remodel will take 2 weeks - they're padding the timeline.

Did you get any confirmation number or documentation when you verified in person? Have you tried calling the Identity Verification line directly instead of the main IRS number?
