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!

Same issue here! Filed Feb 2nd and been locked out multiple times. The system seems to be overloaded right now. I called the IRS helpline and they said transcript access issues are common during peak season and should resolve within a few days. In the meantime, you can also check "Where's My Refund" tool which might give you basic status info without needing the full transcript.

has anyone used quickbooks for tracking the mileage? ive been using it for my electrician business and it automatically tracks trips using gps. not sure if its good enough for irs though
I've been using QuickBooks Self-Employed for tracking mileage for my home inspection business for 2 years now. The IRS has accepted it during an audit because it records all the required information: date, starting point, destination, purpose, and mileage. Make sure you add the business purpose for each trip though - that's what the IRS specifically asked me about during my audit.
Great questions about your LLC tax situation! I run a small pet grooming business and went through similar decisions last year. For your vehicle situation, I'd actually recommend keeping it in your personal name initially and using the standard mileage rate like Isabella suggested. It's much simpler for record-keeping and you avoid the potential complications with insurance changes and transfer fees that NeonNinja mentioned. One thing I learned the hard way - definitely get that original purchase documentation from your grandparents. Even if you don't use Section 179 right away, having the proper basis established will be important for future depreciation. My accountant said it's much harder to reconstruct this information later if you get audited. Also, since you're doing pet transport specifically, make sure you're tracking not just the mileage but also any pet-specific vehicle modifications or supplies (seat covers, barriers, carriers, etc.) - those can be fully deductible business expenses. The mileage tracking apps mentioned earlier are definitely worth it. I use Everlance and it's been a lifesaver for keeping organized records. Good luck with your new business!

Be very careful with these access issues. According to IRS Publication 5199, repeated failed access attempts can trigger automated security flags on your account. I experienced this personally and it delayed my refund by 8 weeks while they conducted a review. The IRS has implemented stricter authentication protocols under IRC section 6103 for privacy protection. If you continue having issues, I recommend requesting an Identity Protection PIN for next year's filing to prevent these verification problems.
I went through this exact same frustration two weeks ago! The "access denied" followed by "information doesn't match" is maddening when you know you're entering everything correctly. Here's what finally worked for me: I was using the refund amount from my tax software's summary, but I needed to use the exact amount from line 35a of my actual 1040 form. Even a $1 difference will cause it to fail. Also, double-check that you're not accidentally including your spouse's SSN if you filed jointly - use only the primary filer's SSN. Give it 24 hours between attempts to avoid getting locked out. The system can be finicky but it's usually something small like this!

This might sound crazy, but have you tried faxing them? I know it's 2024, but sometimes old school methods work best with government agencies.
I'm dealing with the exact same issue! Filed my 2024 return back in February and the "Where's My Refund" tool keeps saying it can't find my information. I've been refreshing that page like crazy 😤 It's so frustrating because I know I entered everything correctly - SSN, filing status, refund amount. I even tried using different browsers and devices. At this point I'm wondering if there's some kind of system glitch or if they're just overwhelmed. Really hoping this gets sorted out soon because I was counting on that refund!

I've been dealing with this exact same issue! The WMR tool has been a nightmare lately - keeps saying my info doesn't match even though I'm entering everything correctly. It's so frustrating when you know your was approved but then the system just stops working. I tried calling the directly but the wait times are insane. Has anyone found a reliable way to actually get through to someone who can help figure out what's going on with these system glitches?
