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!

Wow, this is really encouraging to hear! I've been putting off calling about a question regarding my dependent care FSA contribution limits because I was dreading the typical IRS hold time nightmare. Your 2-minute wait experience is giving me serious hope that maybe they've actually turned things around. I remember in 2022 I waited almost 3 hours about a simple address change and nearly gave up twice. If this improved service is consistent, it would be such a relief for taxpayers who need quick answers during filing season. I think I'll finally bite the bullet and call them tomorrow morning about my FSA question. Thanks for sharing this positive experience - it's exactly the motivation I needed!
I'm so glad to see these positive experiences! As someone new to this community, I was honestly terrified about potentially needing to call the IRS. All the horror stories about multi-hour wait times had me convinced I'd need to take a full day off work just to ask a simple question. Hearing that they've actually improved their service this much is such a relief. I might finally call about my confusion over the child tax credit eligibility requirements instead of just guessing on my return. Thanks for sharing your experience - it's really reassuring for those of us who have been avoiding calling them!
This gives me so much hope! I've been avoiding calling the IRS for months about a notice I received regarding my 2022 return because I was dreading the wait time. Every time I thought about calling, I'd remember the stories of people waiting 2-3 hours just to get disconnected or transferred multiple times. Your 2-minute experience sounds almost too good to be true, but seeing all these other positive comments makes me think maybe they really have improved things. I'm definitely going to try calling this week - hopefully during one of those early morning slots that others mentioned. Thanks for sharing this encouraging update! It's exactly what I needed to hear to finally tackle this issue instead of continuing to put it off.

Hey! Just wanted to add my experience to help ease your mind - I went through this exact same thing about 6 months ago and nearly had a heart attack when I saw that $0! 😰 But like everyone else is saying, it's totally normal. In my case, the money showed up in my account exactly 4 days after the amount changed to zero. Ohio's system definitely does this regularly - I think it's just how they process the final approval before sending the funds. You're in good hands and should see that deposit very soon! 💰
Thank you so much for sharing your experience! It's really comforting to hear from someone who went through the exact same thing. I'm pretty new to dealing with tax refunds and all these system quirks, so when I saw that $0 I immediately thought the worst 😅 Really appreciate everyone in this community taking the time to explain what's actually happening - makes me feel so much better about the whole process!
Hey there! I totally understand the panic you're feeling right now - I went through the exact same thing earlier this year and was convinced something had gone horribly wrong! 😅 But everyone here is absolutely right - that $0 showing up is actually a GOOD sign, not a bad one. It means Ohio's system has finished processing your refund and is getting ready to release the funds. I know it seems backwards and super confusing (why would they show $0 if they're about to pay you??) but that's just how their system works. In my experience, once you see that zero, you're usually looking at about 3-5 business days before the money hits your account. Try not to stress too much - you should see that deposit very soon! 🙏

This is super helpful! I've been checking my WMR obsessively and my cycle code is 20250302 - so if I'm reading this right, I'm on daily updates? Still waiting for my 846 code to show up but at least now I know what to expect. Thanks for breaking this down in simple terms! 🙏
Exactly what @Freya said! I was checking my transcripts like 5 times a day until someone here recommended taxr.ai and it literally saved my sanity 😅 It predicted my refund date within 2 days of when I actually got it. For daily updaters like you, it's even more accurate since there's more data points to work with. Definitely worth the small fee to avoid the constant refresh anxiety!
Ayy another daily updater! 🙌 You're definitely in a good spot with that 20250302 cycle code. I had the same pattern last filing season and my 846 showed up on a Tuesday morning around 6:30am. The daily updates are clutch because you don't have to wait a whole week wondering what's happening. Just keep checking those transcripts every morning and you should see movement soon. Good luck! 🍀
This is exactly what I needed! Been stressing about my cycle code 20250205 for weeks thinking something was wrong. Now I understand I'm on weekly updates and need to check Thursday nights instead of obsessing over it daily like I have been 🤦♀️ The way you explained it makes so much more sense than all the other confusing posts I've read. Really appreciate you taking the time to break this down for everyone!

As a new community member, I want to add my experience to this excellent discussion! I completed this exact same transition about 4 months ago - LLC that had been taxed as an S-Corp for 2 years, then filed Form 8832 to change to disregarded entity status. Everyone here is absolutely correct - you keep your existing EIN throughout the process. The way I understood it after speaking with my CPA is that the EIN is like the "social security number" for your LLC as a legal entity. When you file Form 8832, you're not changing the entity itself, just telling the IRS to treat it differently for tax purposes. One thing I'd add that I haven't seen mentioned is to make sure you understand the timing for your final S-Corp tax return (Form 1120S) versus when you start filing Schedule C. The effective date on your Form 8832 determines this split, and it's important to get it right to avoid any filing issues. Also, I found it helpful to reach out to my business insurance provider after the change was approved. While it didn't affect my coverage, they appreciated being notified about the classification change for their records. The administrative simplicity of being a disregarded entity has been wonderful compared to the S-Corp requirements, even though I do pay a bit more in self-employment tax. Thanks everyone for creating such a comprehensive resource thread!
Welcome to the community! Thank you for adding another confirmation about keeping the EIN - it's really helpful to see so many people who've gone through this exact process sharing consistent experiences. Your point about the EIN being like a "social security number" for the LLC is a great analogy that really drives home why it stays the same. I'm just starting to research this change for my own business, and understanding the timing split between the final Form 1120S and when to start filing Schedule C is something I hadn't fully considered yet. The insurance notification tip is also really practical advice - it's those kinds of administrative details that can easily be overlooked but are important for keeping all your business relationships current. As someone new to navigating these tax classification changes, this entire thread has been incredibly valuable. It's reassuring to see such a strong consensus from people with real-world experience, especially when there's so much conflicting information available elsewhere. Thanks for contributing to what's become an excellent resource for anyone dealing with this type of entity classification change!
As a newcomer to this community, I want to thank everyone for such a thorough and helpful discussion! This thread has been incredibly valuable in clearing up what was a very confusing issue for me. I'm currently in the exact same situation - LLC that's been taxed as an S-Corp for about 18 months, and I'm planning to file Form 8832 to switch to disregarded entity status. The consistent confirmation from so many people who've actually been through this process is incredibly reassuring. The analogy about the EIN being tied to the legal entity (like a container) rather than the tax classification (what's inside the container) really helped me understand why the EIN stays the same. It makes perfect sense when you think about it that way. I'm particularly grateful for all the practical tips shared here - especially about keeping multiple copies of the Form 8832 acceptance letter and coordinating the effective date with quarterly tax periods. These are the kinds of real-world insights you just can't find in the official IRS publications. One question I have for those who've completed this transition: did any of you run into issues with your business credit cards or other financial products when the classification changed, or was it smooth sailing once you provided the acceptance letter documentation? Thanks again for creating such a comprehensive resource. This community is exactly what small business owners need when navigating these complex tax situations!
Welcome to the community! I'm also relatively new here and have found this thread incredibly helpful. Regarding your question about business credit cards and financial products - I didn't experience any issues when I went through this same transition about 6 months ago. Most financial institutions seem to understand that entity classification changes don't affect the underlying business entity or EIN. I did proactively contact my business credit card company and bank to let them know about the change and provided them with a copy of my Form 8832 acceptance letter, but they said it wasn't necessary since the EIN remained the same. The key thing seems to be having that acceptance letter readily available if any questions do come up. I've found that most vendors and financial institutions are satisfied once they see the official IRS documentation explaining the classification change. It's great to see how this thread has become such a comprehensive resource for anyone dealing with this type of transition. The consistency of everyone's experiences really demonstrates that keeping the existing EIN is the standard process for Form 8832 classification changes.

Be careful with these prepaid cards. According to IRS Publication 1345 regarding refund delivery, the IRS is only responsible for sending the refund to the financial institution. The timing of when funds are made available by the financial institution falls outside IRS jurisdiction. I had a terrible experience last year where my refund was delayed by 5 days on a similar card. The fine print in the Serve Card agreement states they can hold deposits for up to 5 business days for verification purposes. Check your cardholder agreement for the exact terms.

I'm going through the exact same thing right now! My DD date was also 3/8 and I'm still waiting. This is my first year using Jackson Hewitt and the Serve Card, so I wasn't sure what to expect. Reading everyone's experiences here is actually really helpful - sounds like 1-3 days after the official DD date is pretty normal for these cards. I checked WMR this morning and it shows "refund sent" so at least I know the IRS did their part. Going to try calling the Serve Card customer service line later today to see if they can tell me anything about pending deposits. Thanks for posting this question - I was starting to think something was seriously wrong!

•Welcome to the waiting game! I'm dealing with the same exact situation - DD date of 3/8 and still nothing on my Serve Card. It's reassuring to know I'm not alone in this. I've been checking my account obsessively every few hours like it's going to magically appear. Based on what everyone else is sharing, it sounds like we just need to be patient for a few more days. The fact that your WMR shows "refund sent" is definitely a good sign - that means the holdup is on the Serve Card side, not the IRS. I'm going to follow your lead and call their customer service too. Fingers crossed we both see our money by Monday!
