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!

Michigan resident here - filed same day as you and got my refund yesterday. Maybe double check your routing/account info?

I'm in the same situation! Filed my Michigan return on 2/9 and still waiting. The Michigan Treasury website is pretty slow to update compared to federal. I've heard from others that Michigan can take up to 6 weeks for processing this time of year, especially if you have any credits or deductions they need to verify. Try not to stress too much - you're definitely not alone in this wait!

Have you checked if you have an outstanding balance with the state? Exactly 17.4% of Michigan returns get held up because of prior-year balances or other state debts. The MI Treasury has 42 different hold codes that can delay processing, and many won't show up in the standard lookup. You might want to try the Michigan Treasury's alternative verification system at https://www.michigan.gov/taxes/check-my-return-status and click the "Verify Identity" option. It requires more information but often shows status when the regular system fails. I'm concerned this might be more than just a glitch if it's been more than 14 days since acceptance.

Could this also happen if you have an outstanding balance with a utility company? I have an old DTE Energy bill in collections - would that affect my state refund?

Is there a way to check if you have outstanding balances before filing? Would be nice to know about potential issues ahead of time.

I'm going through the exact same thing right now! Filed my Michigan return on February 18th, got the acceptance confirmation, but the status checker has been giving me that "information not found" error for over two weeks now. It's so frustrating when you're counting on that money! I've tried entering my info different ways (with and without dashes in SSN, different browsers, etc.) but nothing works. Reading through these comments is actually really reassuring - sounds like this is just how Michigan's system works unfortunately. I'm going to try calling that automated line someone mentioned and maybe check super early in the morning like Anna suggested. Fingers crossed we both get our refunds soon! 🀞

Has anyone received their Mississippi refund after filing in March? I filed on March 15th and I'm trying to figure out if I should expect it before my mortgage payment is due on May 1st. In previous years it seemed faster, but everything I'm reading here suggests I shouldn't count on it.

I filed my Mississippi return on March 22nd and just received my refund yesterday (April 15th) - so exactly 3.5 weeks for me! I was pleasantly surprised since everything I'd read suggested 4-6 weeks minimum. I did e-file with direct deposit and had a pretty straightforward return with no credits or complications. For what it's worth, I never got any email notification - the money just appeared in my account. So there's definitely hope for those March filers! 🀞

That's really encouraging to hear! I filed March 18th so we're in a similar timeframe. Did you notice any pattern with when they actually deposit - like was it on a specific day of the week? I've been obsessively checking my account every morning but maybe I should focus on Tuesdays and Thursdays like someone mentioned earlier.

I'm in a very similar situation with multiple part-time jobs and was making the same mistake of just filling out Step 1 and Step 5 on all my W-4s. Reading through these responses has been incredibly helpful! One thing I'm still confused about - when you check the box in Step 2(c) for multiple jobs, does that automatically increase the withholding rate, or do you still need to calculate additional amounts for Step 4(c)? I have two part-time jobs that vary between 15-25 hours each per week, so my income is pretty unpredictable. Would it be safer to just have them withhold an extra $50-100 per paycheck from my primary job to make sure I don't owe anything? I'd rather get a refund than be surprised with a big tax bill. Also, @Khalid Howes - definitely update that W-4 for job A as soon as possible! Even a couple months of under-withholding can add up, especially if your hours have been inconsistent.

Great question! When you check the box in Step 2(c) for multiple jobs, it does automatically increase the withholding rate - your employer will withhold taxes at the higher "single" rate rather than using the standard rate for your filing status. This helps account for having multiple income sources. However, depending on your total combined income, this automatic increase might not be enough. That's where Step 4(c) comes in - you can request additional withholding if you want to be extra safe. Given that your hours are unpredictable (15-25 hours each), I think your instinct to have extra withholding is smart! Having them withhold an extra $50-100 per paycheck from your primary job would definitely help ensure you don't owe anything at tax time. You can always adjust it later if it seems like too much. The peace of mind of knowing you won't get hit with a surprise tax bill is usually worth getting a slightly larger refund. Plus, with variable income, it's harder to predict exactly where you'll end up tax-wise anyway. @Khalid Howes - definitely second the advice to update job A s'W-4 ASAP!

I just want to echo what everyone else is saying - definitely update that W-4 for job A right away! I made the same mistake when I first started working multiple jobs and it cost me about $800 in unexpected taxes. Here's what I wish someone had told me earlier: when you have multiple jobs with unpredictable hours like yours, it's actually better to over-withhold than under-withhold. The IRS doesn't care if you get a big refund, but they definitely care if you owe money and can't pay it. For your situation, I'd recommend: - Job B (your main 30-hour job): Complete the full W-4 with Step 2(c) checked for multiple jobs - Jobs A, C, and D: Just Steps 1 and 5, plus check Step 2(c) for multiple jobs - Consider adding $25-50 extra withholding per paycheck in Step 4(c) on job B since your hours are so variable The extra withholding acts like a safety net. With four different jobs and unpredictable schedules, your total income could end up higher than you expect, which would push you into a higher tax bracket. Better to be safe and get money back than scramble to pay a tax bill next April! You can always adjust your W-4s throughout the year if you find you're withholding too much. Don't stress too much about getting it perfect - just get it reasonably close and err on the side of caution.

This is exactly the kind of practical advice I needed to hear! I've been so worried about getting the calculations perfect, but you're absolutely right that it's better to err on the side of caution with unpredictable income from multiple jobs. I think I'm going to follow your suggestion and add that extra $25-50 withholding to my main job (B) just to be safe. With four different jobs and variable hours, there are just too many unknowns to try to calculate everything precisely. One quick follow-up question - when I go to update the W-4 for job A, do I need to explain to HR why I'm changing it, or can I just submit a new form? I'm a bit embarrassed that I filled it out wrong initially and don't want to seem incompetent to my employer. Thanks to everyone who has shared their experiences here - it's such a relief to know I'm not the only one who found this confusing!

Quick question about depreciation start date for a multi-unit building - if I bought my fourplex in December 2023 but the tenants didn't move in until January 2024, when do I start depreciating? From purchase date or when it was "placed in service" with actual tenants?

0 coins

You start depreciating from when the property is "placed in service" - meaning when it's ready and available for rent, not necessarily when tenants actually move in. So if your fourplex was ready to be rented in December 2023, even though tenants didn't move in until January 2024, you would start depreciation in December 2023.

Great question about multi-unit depreciation! I went through this exact situation with my duplex a couple years ago. You're absolutely right to treat the entire building as one depreciable asset - no need to split it by individual units. The key thing is separating out the land value from the building value, since you can only depreciate the building portion. For your $475,000 purchase, you'll need to determine how much was land vs. building. Your property tax assessment is usually the easiest way to get this allocation. Once you have the building value, you'll depreciate it over 27.5 years using straight-line depreciation. Regarding your $28,000 in improvements - the roof would typically be depreciated over 27.5 years as part of the building structure, while the HVAC system might qualify for shorter depreciation (5-7 years) since it's considered equipment with a shorter useful life. One tip: consider looking into cost segregation if your improvements are substantial. Some components like appliances, flooring, and certain fixtures can be depreciated over shorter periods (5-7 years instead of 27.5), which gives you larger deductions in the early years. Make sure to keep detailed records of all improvements and their costs - you'll need this for Form 4562 and Schedule E. The IRS loves good documentation!

This is really helpful information! I'm new to rental property ownership and had no idea about cost segregation. When you mention that appliances and flooring can be depreciated over 5-7 years instead of 27.5 years, does this apply to things like refrigerators and washers/dryers that I provided for the tenants? Also, if I replace carpeting in one of the units, can I depreciate that separately from the building even though it's attached? I want to make sure I'm maximizing my deductions but also staying compliant with IRS rules.
