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!

Has anyone used TurboTax to report a home sale? I'm selling my house next month and wondering how complicated the forms are for reporting it.
I used TurboTax last year for my home sale. It was pretty easy - they ask a series of questions about how long you lived there, the purchase price, selling price, improvements you made, etc. If you qualify for the exclusion, it calculates everything automatically. Just make sure you have your original purchase documents and the closing statement from your sale.
Just to add another perspective - I'm a tax preparer and see this confusion a lot during tax season. The Section 121 exclusion is one of the most misunderstood parts of the tax code because people mix it up with 1031 exchanges or remember old rules from decades ago. Rita, you're absolutely fine to take your time finding the right property. The $250k exclusion ($500k for married filing jointly) applies regardless of whether you buy another home, when you buy it, or even if you never buy again. The only requirements are that you owned and used the home as your primary residence for at least 2 of the 5 years before the sale, which you clearly meet. One small thing to keep in mind - if you do eventually buy and sell another primary residence, you can use this exclusion again, but generally not more than once every 2 years. Since you're taking time to find the right place, this timing rule shouldn't be an issue for you. Your financial advisor gave you the correct information. Enjoy living with your parents while you take your time finding the perfect next home!

Has anyone successfully used TurboTax for reporting futures trading correctly? My trades aren't that complicated and I'm wondering if I can just do it myself instead of dealing with CPAs who don't understand Form 6781.
I tried using TurboTax for my futures trading last year and it was a nightmare. The software technically supports Form 6781, but it's not intuitive at all for entering Section 1256 contracts. I ended up having to manually override several calculations because it kept trying to treat some of my futures trades as regular short-term gains.
Thanks for the insight. That's disappointing to hear. I was hoping for a simple DIY solution, but sounds like it might create more problems than it solves. I'll probably look into either one of the specialized tax services mentioned above or find a CPA with specific futures trading experience.
I went through almost the exact same situation last year with my CPA getting Form 6781 completely wrong. After wasting weeks trying to get them to understand Section 1256 treatment, I finally just switched to a new tax professional who specializes in active trader taxation. The difference was night and day - the new CPA immediately recognized the issues, correctly applied the 60/40 split, and saved me over $6,000 in taxes compared to what my old CPA had calculated. Don't let your current CPA's ego cost you money - if they're not willing to admit they made a mistake on something this fundamental, find someone who actually knows futures taxation. You might also want to double-check if they made similar errors in previous years' returns. I discovered my old CPA had been incorrectly reporting my futures trades for 2 years, so I had to file amended returns to get my refunds. The clock is ticking though - you generally only have 3 years to amend and claim refunds for overpaid taxes.

I got the 570 code about a month ago and finally received my letter yesterday. It was for income verification - they wanted me to send in my W-2s and 1099s. The letter gave me 30 days to respond. Don't stress too much, most of the time it's something straightforward that just needs documentation. The waiting is definitely the worst part though!
Just wanted to add my experience to help ease some anxiety! I had a 570 code last year and was freaking out for about 3 weeks before I got the letter. Turned out they just needed me to verify my identity online through ID.me - took maybe 20 minutes total and my refund was released within a week after that. The waiting is absolutely the worst part but try not to stress too much. From what I've seen here and in my own experience, it's usually something pretty routine that gets resolved quickly once you know what they need. Hang in there everyone! 💪
Thank you so much for sharing your experience! That's exactly what I needed to hear right now. I've been stressing out about my 570 code for the past few days and reading everyone's stories here is really helping me calm down. The ID.me verification sounds pretty straightforward - did you have to upload documents or was it just answering questions? Really appreciate you taking the time to reassure everyone going through this! 😊

I would caution about one thing that happened to me last year: Credit Karma's tax preparation service was acquired by Cash App Taxes, and during that transition period, some refunds experienced unusual delays. While your situation sounds like a normal processing delay, it's worth keeping in mind that sometimes system changes or updates on their end can affect processing times. If it goes beyond 3-4 business days, I'd definitely start making calls to both SBTPG and your bank.
I'm going through the exact same thing right now! Filed through Credit Karma, SBTPG shows funded as of yesterday, but still no deposit in my account. It's so frustrating when you're counting on that money. Based on what everyone's saying here, it sounds like this is pretty normal during peak season. I'm going to try to be patient and wait until Monday before I start panicking. Thanks for posting this - at least I know I'm not alone in dealing with this delay!

This is super frustrating! I'm in the exact same situation - filed my Michigan return in November and still waiting. The uncertainty is the worst part. Have you tried checking your account transcript online? Sometimes that shows more details than the generic "under review" status. Also wondering if anyone knows if Michigan pays interest on delayed refunds like the IRS does?

This whole situation is such a mess! I filed my Michigan return back in October and I'm still stuck in the same "under review" purgatory. What's really frustrating is that there's zero transparency about what's actually causing the delay or when it might be resolved. I've been tempted to try that taxr.ai thing someone mentioned, but honestly I'm just exhausted from this whole process. At this point I'm wondering if it's worth reaching out to my state representative like someone suggested - has anyone actually had success with that approach?

•@Yara Assad I totally feel your frustration! October filing and still waiting is absolutely insane. I actually did reach out to my state rep s'office about 2 weeks ago and they said they d'look "into it but" haven t'heard back yet. Might be worth a shot though - at least it makes you feel like you re'doing something proactive instead of just sitting around waiting! The lack of transparency is definitely the worst part. Like, just tell us what the actual issue is so we can fix it or at least know how much longer to expect!
