EDD claims $4k overpayment on PFL, wasn't even working. Taxes held. Help!
I'm in a tough spot with EDD Paid Family Leave. They say I was overpaid by $4000, but I wasn't even working - I was on paternity leave! Now my taxes are being held. Has anyone dealt with this before? What should I do when I finally get through to them on the phone?

Pro tip: if you do get through, ask for a direct extension or email for follow-up. It can save you a ton of time if you need to contact them again.
This! 💯 I got a direct line last time and it was a game changer.

Have you checked your spam folder? Sometimes important EDD emails end up there. Also, make sure you're certifying for benefits every two weeks, even if your claim is pending.
Thanks for the reminder! I'll double-check my spam folder. And yeah, I've been certifying religiously, just in case.
Anybody else notice that the EDD website is always 'under maintenance' when you actually need to use it? 🙄 It's like they're trolling us at this point.
omg yes! 😂 I swear they wait until I'm free to do my certification and then BAM! Maintenance time!
Right?! It's like they have a camera watching us or something 👀
Do 2021 stimulus checks show up on W2s? Trying to get IRS documentation
Hey everyone, I'm trying to figure out if I got a W2 for the 2021 stimulus check. I called the IRS to get copies of my 2021 and 2022 W2s, but now I'm not sure if that's even the right thing to look for. Does anyone know if stimulus checks are reported on W2s or if there's a different form I should be asking about?

Am I the only one who thinks its ridiculous that we have to jump through so many hoops just to understand our own tax situation? 🤦♂️
Preach! 🙌 The whole system needs an overhaul.
For real. In some countries, the government just sends you a completed tax form and you just verify it. Why can't we have that?

Wait, so they're holding your taxes because of this? That doesn't sound right... 🤔 You might wanna check with the IRS too, just in case.
