Need to reach IRS agent ASAP - Any tricks to bypass long wait times?
Hey everyone, I need to get in touch with the IRS but I'm dreading the long wait times. Has anyone had any luck getting through to a live agent recently? Any tips or tricks to make the process less painful? I've got some tax questions that I really need answered.

LPT: If you're eligible, try using the Taxpayer Advocate Service. They can sometimes help you navigate IRS issues without the crazy wait times.
What's the criteria for using the Taxpayer Advocate Service? Never heard of it before.
They typically help if you're experiencing financial hardship, if the IRS hasn't responded to you within 30 days, or if you believe an IRS system/procedure isn't working as it should. Check out their website for more details!
Honestly, at this point I'm considering hiring a tax professional just to deal with the IRS for me. Anyone had experience with that? Is it worth the cost?
I did it last year and it was a game changer. Expensive, but they handled everything and I didn't have to stress about it.
Depends on how complicated your tax situation is. For basic stuff, probably not worth it. But if you've got a complex return or ongoing issues, it can be a lifesaver.

EDD unemployment benefits for 40-hour union apprenticeship class? Need advice!
Hey everyone, I need some advice. I'm in a union apprenticeship program and I have to take a 40-hour class next week. The thing is, I'll miss work for the whole week because of it. I heard I might be able to get unemployment benefits for that week since I can't work. Has anyone gone through this before? What do I need to do to make sure I get those benefits? I've got a certificate of completion for the class, but I'm not sure if that's enough or what else I need to do.

Ugh, I feel for you. The whole system is so broken. I had to jump through so many hoops just to get my regular unemployment. It's like they don't want us to get the benefits we're entitled to 🙄
Preach! 👏 The system is designed to wear us down, I swear.

AuthorGood point, I'll double check my mail pile. Wouldn't put it past them to make important stuff look like spam 🙄

This happened to me last year. Turns out my claim had expired and I needed to file a new one. Might be worth checking if that's your issue too.

AuthorOh man, I didn't even think of that. How do I check if my claim expired?

Log into your EDD account online. It should show your claim status and end date. If it's expired, you'll need to file a new claim.
