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!

Instead of constantly checking transcripts, I set up text alerts with my bank for deposits. Way less stressful than refreshing the IRS page all day. My refund showed up three days before the WMR tool even updated last year. The IRS systems don't always sync up in real-time with what's actually happening with the money.
I'm seeing the same thing and it's really frustrating! Filed 2/8 and still nothing on my transcript. Been checking every night hoping for a DDD but just seeing the same "processing" message. Has anyone noticed if the IRS is prioritizing certain types of returns? Like maybe simple 1040EZ forms are going through faster than returns with schedules? I have Schedule A and wondering if that's adding to the delay. Also wondering if anyone has insights into whether weekend updates are happening at all this year? Last year I remember seeing some Saturday morning transcript updates but haven't seen any mentions of that recently. Really hoping they sort out whatever system issues they're having soon. Need to plan some bills around this refund timing!

This is so frustrating!!! I've been seeing this 810 code everywhere in tax groups lately. Seems like the IRS is flagging way more returns this year than normal. Last year my friend got this and it took 8 weeks to resolve. I'm in the same boat and just trying to be patient but it's HARD when you're counting on that money! 😭
I'm going through the exact same thing! Filed 2/8, accepted same day, and then boom - 810 code appeared on my transcript last week. This is also my first time filing jointly (got married last year) and we claimed EITC and CTC for our two kids. What's really getting to me is how many people seem to be hit with this at once. Makes me wonder if there's some kind of systematic review happening or if they changed their screening criteria this year. I've been checking my transcript obsessively but no movement yet. Has anyone who got the 810 code recently actually received a letter yet? I'm trying to figure out if I should just wait it out or if I need to be more proactive about calling them.

Just wanted to add that if you're using tax software like TurboTax or H&R Block, they have specific sections for rental properties where you can enter these different scenarios. I had a similar situation (rented out my basement for part of the year, then the whole house), and the software walked me through allocating expenses properly. The key is to create TWO separate rental property entries in the software - one for the partial rental (1 bedroom of 3) and another for the whole house rental. That way you can enter the correct percentage allocation for each period. Just make sure the addresses show it's the same physical property (you might need to add "Room 1" or something to distinguish them).
Does this actually work? I tried doing two separate entries in TaxAct last year and my return got rejected because it looked like I had two different rental properties with the same address. Maybe I did something wrong? It would be great if this works because my situation is even more complicated - I rented 2 rooms for 3 months, then 1 room for 2 months, then the whole house.
You're right that it can sometimes cause issues if not done correctly. The trick I found was to clearly distinguish the entries. In TurboTax, I entered the first one as "123 Main St - Partial Rental" and the second as "123 Main St - Full Rental" in the property description fields. I also made sure to include a note in the miscellaneous section explaining the situation. For your more complicated situation, you might need to create three separate entries with very clear date ranges and descriptions. The other approach is to calculate a weighted average for the year - like if you rented 2/4 of the house for 3/12 of the year, then 1/4 for 2/12, then 4/4 for 7/12 of the year. That gives you an overall percentage to apply to annual expenses. But for one-time expenses during specific periods, use the allocation that applied during that time.
Don't forget about depreciation! This gets super complicated when you switch from partial to full rental. The way I understand it: 1) For the period when you rented just one bedroom, you start depreciation on just that portion (1/3) of the house 2) When you convert to full rental, you start depreciation on the remaining portion (2/3) using the fair market value at the time of conversion You'll end up with two different depreciation schedules for the same property. Also, don't forget to exclude the value of the land from your depreciation calculations.
This is so confusing. So are you saying we need to get an appraisal at the time we convert from partial to full rental? And what about when we convert back to personal use later? I'm trying to do all this myself without paying an accountant and I'm regretting it now lol.
You don't necessarily need a formal appraisal, but you do need to establish the fair market value when you convert the remaining portion to rental use. You can use comparable sales, online valuation tools, or a real estate agent's opinion. The IRS just wants a reasonable basis for the value. For the depreciation, yes it gets complex - you'll have two different basis amounts and start dates. I'd strongly recommend at least a consultation with a tax professional for this part, even if you do the rest yourself. The depreciation rules are tricky and mistakes here can be costly down the road when you sell the property. And yes, when you convert back to personal use, you stop depreciating that portion. Keep detailed records of all the conversion dates and values!

To all those having a human at IRS. I just ran across this video that gave me a shortcut to reach a human. Hope it helps! https://youtu.be/_kiP6q8DX5c
I've been dealing with the same issue! The silent calls are so frustrating. I've tried calling multiple times and keep getting disconnected without ever an actual person. Has anyone found a reliable time of day when you're more likely to get through? I'm wondering if calling first thing in the morning might work better than during peak hours.
I'm new here but I've been having the exact same problem with silent IRS calls! @Lydia Santiago you mentioned trying different times - I ve'actually had better luck calling around 7:00 AM EST right when they open. The wait times are still long but at least I don t'get the silent hang-ups as much. Also, I noticed that if you get a silent call, sometimes waiting about 30 minutes before calling back helps avoid getting stuck in the same queue loop. Hope this helps!

Try checking your transcript if you can access it. It might show if there's an issue with your refund that's not showing up on the IL website. I was in a similar situation and taxr.ai helped me decode what was actually happening with my refund when the state website was useless. Turns out there was a review flag on my account that was causing the delay. https://taxr.ai

I'm dealing with the exact same issue! Filed my Illinois taxes in early March using Cash App direct deposit and it's been showing "refund issued" for weeks now with nothing in my account. Reading through all these responses, it sounds like Illinois has major issues with payment apps this year. I'm definitely going to call the IL Department of Revenue tomorrow to see if my deposit failed. Thanks everyone for sharing your experiences - at least now I know I'm not alone in this! Next year I'm definitely going back to my regular bank account. These payment apps just aren't worth the hassle for tax refunds.
