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!

You've received excellent advice throughout this thread! Just to summarize the key points for your peace of mind: 1. **No individual IRS reporting required** - The nonprofit handles all reporting through their annual Form 990 filing 2. **Your only obligation** - Submit a clear, written resignation letter with an effective date 3. **Liability ends on resignation date** - Not when it's eventually reported to the IRS 4. **Practical cleanup items** - Bank signature cards, vendor authorizations, digital access, organizational property 5. **Documentation** - Keep copies of your resignation and any follow-up communications Since this is an immediate resignation due to major life changes, you're absolutely making the right decision. Board service requires full commitment, and stepping away when you can't provide that is actually responsible stewardship. Your thoughtful approach to ensuring proper procedures shows real integrity. The nonprofit is fortunate to have had someone who cares enough to handle their departure professionally, even during a difficult personal transition. Best wishes with your life changes - you've got this handled properly!

This is such a helpful summary of all the key points discussed throughout the thread! Having everything laid out like this makes it really easy to create a clear action plan for my resignation. I especially appreciate point #4 about the practical cleanup items - that's something I probably would have overlooked if people hadn't mentioned it here. The reminder about digital access is particularly relevant since I do have admin permissions on several of their online accounts. Your point about this being responsible stewardship rather than abandonment really helps reframe how I'm thinking about the immediate resignation. You're absolutely right that it's better to step away when I know I can't give full commitment rather than trying to hang on and potentially letting the organization down. Thank you to everyone who contributed to this discussion - I feel completely confident now that I understand both my obligations and the proper procedures. This community has been incredibly knowledgeable and supportive. Time to write that resignation letter!

This has been such a comprehensive and helpful discussion! As someone who's also served on nonprofit boards, I really appreciate how thoroughly everyone has addressed both the legal requirements and practical considerations. One small addition that might be useful - if your nonprofit has any ongoing grants where you were listed as a key personnel or contact person, make sure to discuss this specifically with the remaining board members. Some funders require notification when key personnel change, and while this is typically the organization's responsibility, it's worth flagging any grants you were directly involved with. Also, since you mentioned this is due to major life changes, don't forget to update your own records if you've been claiming any volunteer hours or board service for tax purposes (like if you deduct related expenses). Your service period ends with your resignation date. You're really setting a great example of how to handle board departures responsibly. The organization will benefit from your thoughtful transition approach, and you can feel confident you've covered all your bases. Good luck with whatever changes are ahead!

I'm going through this right now too! Got flagged for identity verification about 10 days ago and still waiting for the 4883C letter. From what I've researched, the IRS says it can take up to 30 days to receive the letter, but most people seem to get it within 2-3 weeks like others mentioned. The verification process itself is pretty straightforward once you get the letter - you can do it online or by phone. Just make sure you have your documents ready like Victoria suggested!

@Nia Wilson That s'really helpful context! I was wondering about the online vs phone verification - did you hear which method is faster or if there are any advantages to one over the other? Also curious if the 9-week timeline starts from when you complete verification or from when they first flag your return?

0 coins

@Ravi Patel From what I ve'read, online verification is usually faster since you get immediate confirmation, while phone verification can have long wait times sometimes (hours on hold .)The 9-week timeline starts from when you successfully complete the verification process, not from when your return was initially flagged. So the sooner you can verify after getting the letter, the better! Hope this helps while we re'all stuck in this waiting game together 😊

This is a great discussion on installment sales! One thing I haven't seen mentioned yet is the potential impact of the Net Investment Income Tax (NIIT) if your modified adjusted gross income exceeds certain thresholds ($200k for single filers, $250k for married filing jointly). The 3.8% NIIT can apply to both the capital gains portion and interest income from your installment sale, which could significantly affect your overall tax liability. This is especially important to consider if the installment payments push you over the NIIT threshold in years when you might not have crossed it otherwise. Also, don't forget about state tax implications - some states treat installment sales differently than federal rules, so you'll want to check your state's specific requirements. The tax deferral benefit can vary significantly depending on where you live.

Great point about the NIIT! I hadn't considered how installment payments could push someone over those thresholds in years they might otherwise stay under. That 3.8% additional tax could really add up over time. Do you know if there's any way to structure the payments to help manage the NIIT impact? Like maybe varying the payment amounts in different years based on other income fluctuations? I'm wondering if having some flexibility in the contract terms could help with tax planning.

One additional consideration I don't see mentioned yet - make sure you understand the depreciation recapture rules if this property was a rental. Even with installment sale treatment, any depreciation you claimed on the property gets "recaptured" and taxed at ordinary income rates (up to 25%) in the year of sale, regardless of when you receive the payments. This caught me off guard on my first owner-carry deal. I thought all the gain would be spread out over the installment period, but the depreciation recapture portion was due immediately. It wasn't a huge amount in my case, but definitely something to factor into your cash flow planning for the tax year when you close the sale. Also worth noting - if you're planning to reinvest the proceeds eventually, you can't do a 1031 exchange with an installment sale since you're not receiving all the proceeds at once. Just something to keep in mind if tax deferral through exchanges was part of your original strategy.

Just got my refund this morning! Same situation - Navy Federal with 3/13 DDD. Woke up to the deposit at 6am. So they released it a full day early. Hope you see yours soon too!

Congrats on getting your DDD! I'm also with Navy Federal but my transcript is still showing "processing" - no DDD yet. Filed on 2/15 so I'm hoping mine comes through soon. Navy Federal has always been good to me with early deposits on other things like paychecks, so fingers crossed they do the same for tax refunds. The waiting is definitely the worst part! Keep us posted on when yours actually hits your account - it'll give the rest of us Navy Federal members a good idea of their timing this year.

Received CP05 Notice for 2024 Return with 810 Code - IRS Reviewing Return for up to 60 Days, No Action Needed Now

So I checked my transcript earlier this month and saw code 810 which I've never had before. I was nervous about what was happening with my refund and was told to wait for the notice. Just got this CP05 notice in my email today dated March 3, 2025 regarding my 2024 tax return. The notice states: "We're reviewing your return to verify its accuracy. We understand your tax refund is important to you and we'll work to complete our review as quickly as possible." It goes on to explain that they're reviewing returns to determine whether income, income tax withholding, credits, or expenses are reported correctly. The notice specifically says I don't need to do anything at this time, and they'll either: - Send me my refund - Ask for additional information - Deny all or part of my refund (with the option to appeal if I disagree) The frustrating part is that it could take up to 60 days to complete their review. The notice even says "Please wait 60 days before contacting us since we won't be able to provide any additional information." They suggest checking refund status at IRS.gov/Refunds or the IRS2Go mobile app. There's also a concerning section about identity theft that says "If you didn't file a 2024 tax return, someone may have attempted to use your personal information to obtain a tax refund." In that case, they recommend completing Form 14039 (Identity Theft Affidavit) and visiting IRS.gov/ID for more information about tax-related identity theft. But I definitely filed my return in mid-February, so that part doesn't apply to me. The notice is labeled as "CP05" for Tax Year 2024, Page 1 of 2. Has anyone dealt with this before? Is this really just a waiting game now or should I be doing something proactive? Filed in mid-February and was expecting my refund by March, now it seems like it could be May before I get anything. Should I call them before the 60 days is up or just keep waiting?

I'm in the exact same boat! Got my CP05 notice yesterday and have been spiraling ever since. Filed my return in early February with just W-2 income and standard deduction - nothing complicated at all. The 810 code showed up on my transcript about two weeks ago and I've been checking it daily hoping it would disappear. What's really frustrating is that I claimed the Child Tax Credit for my two kids, which I've done for years without any issues. Now I'm wondering if that's what triggered this "random" review. The timing couldn't be worse since I was planning to use my refund to catch up on some bills. Reading through all these responses is actually pretty reassuring though. It sounds like most people do eventually get their full refund, even if it takes the full 60 days. Still doesn't make the waiting any easier when you're living paycheck to paycheck and counting on that money. I guess I'll try to follow the advice here and stop checking my transcript every day. Maybe I'll set a weekly reminder instead. Thanks for posting this - it really helps to know other people are going through the same thing right now!

I'm going through the exact same thing right now! Also filed in early February with just W-2 income and standard deduction, plus Child Tax Credit for my daughter. Got the 810 code about 3 weeks ago and just received my CP05 notice this week. It's so stressful when you're counting on that refund money and suddenly you're stuck in this limbo for up to 60 days. I've been obsessively checking my transcript too but nothing changes. The uncertainty is killing me! From reading everyone's experiences here, it does seem like most CP05 reviews end with the full refund being released eventually. I'm trying to stay positive but the waiting is brutal. At least we're not alone in this - seems like a lot of people are dealing with these random reviews this year. Hang in there! Hopefully we'll both see some movement on our transcripts soon. šŸ¤ž

I'm dealing with the exact same situation right now! Got my CP05 notice a few days ago after seeing the dreaded 810 code on my transcript for the past couple weeks. Filed a simple return in mid-February - just W-2 income, standard deduction, and Child Tax Credit - so I have no idea why I got flagged for this "random" review. The most frustrating part is the complete lack of transparency from the IRS. They say it's to verify accuracy but won't tell you what specifically they're reviewing or give you any real timeline beyond "up to 60 days." Meanwhile I'm sitting here refreshing my transcript daily hoping to see some progress. Reading through everyone's experiences here is actually pretty comforting though. Sounds like the vast majority of these CP05 reviews end with the full refund being released, even if it takes nearly the full 60 days. I guess I just need to be patient and stop obsessing over my transcript every day. Thanks for sharing your experience OP - it really helps to know we're all in this together with these annoying delays. Hopefully we'll both see movement on our cases soon! šŸ¤ž

I'm going through this too! Just got my CP05 notice last week and it's so nerve-wracking. Like you, I have a super simple return - just W-2 income and standard deduction. The lack of explanation from the IRS is the worst part. They basically say "we're reviewing your return" but won't tell you what they're actually looking at or why yours got selected. I've been trying not to check my transcript every day but it's hard when you're waiting for that refund money. From everything I've read here, it sounds like most people do get their full refund eventually, it just takes forever. The 60-day timeline feels like an eternity when you're in limbo! Hang in there - at least we know we're not alone in dealing with these random reviews. Hopefully both our cases will resolve soon! šŸ¤ž
