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 ā 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!

Just to clarify for everyone - the PATH Act only applies to returns claiming EITC or ACTC. If you're not claiming either of those credits, you're not actually under a PATH hold even if WMR shows that message. It's just their generic processing message they use for everyone during busy periods. Are you claiming either of those credits? That would explain why you're seeing the PATH message specifically.
Thank you so much for posting this! I've been checking WMR obsessively for the past two weeks and driving myself crazy. Just checked my transcript after reading your post and sure enough - there's my DDD for 3/31! The WMR tool still shows "Your tax return is being processed" with no mention of when I might get my refund. This is such a relief because I was starting to think something went wrong with my return. Really appreciate you taking the time to share this tip - it's going to save a lot of people unnecessary stress during an already stressful time.

Just got my audit notice too š° They're asking for detailed records of fuel purchases, business use logs, and proof of qualified activities. The letter mentions they're specifically targeting 8849 forms from 2022 due to "compliance concerns." Anyone know if there's a standard response template or should I just gather everything and send it in?
There's no standard template but definitely organize everything systematically before sending. Create a cover letter explaining each document, separate your receipts by month/quarter, and include business logs showing dates/purposes. Don't just dump everything in a box - the cleaner your response, the smoother the process usually goes.
Same here - got the audit letter last week and I'm honestly terrified. I run a small landscaping business and claimed fuel credits for our equipment, but my record keeping wasn't the greatest in 2022. Does anyone know if they accept reconstructed records if you can prove the business expenses through bank statements and invoices? I have most of my fuel receipts but some are faded or missing completely. Really kicking myself for not being more organized š£

Anyone else feel like we're living in a dystopian novel where the government just... doesn't work? š¤
Cmon guys, it's not that bad. Every country has its problems.

I'm in the exact same boat! Filed in March 2020 and still waiting. What's really frustrating is that they processed my stimulus payments just fine, but can't seem to handle a regular refund. I've tried the transcript route like @Giovanni Rossi suggested - turns out there was a code on mine indicating "additional review needed" but no explanation of what that means. Currently trying to get through to a human being but the hold times are absolutely insane. This whole situation is beyond ridiculous.

I'm in the exact same situation! Filed January 28th and just got these 570/971 codes with March 10th date showing up on my transcript. Been refreshing that thing way too much lately. After reading through everyone's responses here, I'm feeling a bit more optimistic that this is just part of the process rather than a major problem. The traffic light analogy really helped put it in perspective. Has anyone who got their refund after these codes noticed if the final amount matched what they originally expected, or did most people end up with adjustments? I'm trying to figure out if I should prepare for a different amount than what I calculated.
I'm new here but dealing with the exact same thing! Filed January 29th and just saw these codes pop up yesterday. From what I'm reading in this thread, it sounds like most people either get the same amount or sometimes even a little more due to math corrections in their favor. The waiting is definitely nerve-wracking though - I keep checking my transcript multiple times a day even though I know nothing's going to change that fast. Really appreciate everyone sharing their experiences here, makes me feel less alone in this process!
I'm dealing with the exact same codes and timeline! Filed January 29th and just saw the 570/971 combo appear on my transcript with March 10th date. Been 43 days now and I was starting to panic, but reading through everyone's experiences here is really reassuring. It sounds like this is more common than I thought and most people do eventually get their refunds processed. I'm also working remotely and was really counting on this refund for some upcoming expenses. The traffic light analogy really helped me understand what's happening - just a temporary stop while they sort things out. Going to try to be more patient and stop checking my transcript 5 times a day (easier said than done!). Thanks StarSurfer for starting this discussion, it's so helpful to connect with others going through the same thing right now.
Hey Jacob! I'm new to this community but in the exact same boat - filed January 31st and just got these same 570/971 codes yesterday with the March 10th date. Been 42 days for me too and I was honestly freaking out until I found this thread. It's such a relief to see so many people with identical situations and timelines. I'm also working from home and really need this refund, so the waiting has been stressful. After reading everyone's experiences, it seems like we're all part of some kind of batch processing delay rather than having individual problems with our returns. Planning to stop obsessively checking my transcript too (we'll see how that goes!). Really grateful for this discussion - makes the waiting so much more bearable knowing we're not alone in this.

Has anyone successfully gotten the IRS to waive penalties for late 941 filings? I'm in a similar position but afraid of getting hit with thousands in penalties even though we paid everything on time.

ā¢Yes! I just went through this last month. Request first-time penalty abatement if you've had a clean record for the past 3 years. I called the IRS (after waiting 2 hours) and specifically asked for this, and they waived about $3,400 in penalties. You need to be persistent tho and specifically mention "first time penalty abatement" or "reasonable cause abatement.

ā¢Thanks so much for this info! That gives me some hope. I've never had any issues with filing before, so hopefully they'll consider the first-time abatement. $3,400 in savings is huge for a small business like mine.

I'm dealing with a very similar situation right now! My small business also used QuickBooks for payroll and tax payments, but somehow we missed filing several 941 forms in 2022. I just got an IRS notice last week showing discrepancies between our W-2s and what they have on file for quarterly returns. One thing I learned from calling the IRS Business Tax Line is that they have a specific department for employment tax issues (different from individual tax problems). The representative told me that as long as you can show you made the payments on time through EFTPS or QuickBooks, they're usually willing to work with you on penalty abatement. She also mentioned that many small businesses run into this exact issue when winding down operations - the focus shifts to closing everything up and sometimes the quarterly filings get overlooked even though the payments continue automatically. I'm planning to gather all my QuickBooks payment confirmations and file the missing quarters this week. The IRS gave me 30 days to respond to their notice, but they said filing sooner rather than later shows good faith compliance.
