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!

Cycle code matters too! Look at the cycle code on your account transcript. If it ends in 05, your account updates weekly (Thursday night/Friday morning). If it ends in 01-04, it's daily updates. Knowing your cycle helped me stop checking obsessively every day when I knew updates only came on Fridays for me.

This is so true! I'm a cycle 05 and wasted so much time checking daily until I learned this.

Going through this right now too. I called IRS and the agent said a 420 is triggered by a potential mismatch between what was reported by employers/financial institutions and what's on your return. In my case, it was missing interest income from a bank account I forgot about. Double check your wage and income transcript against your return!

check ur pay stubs carefully. sometimes they list it as "pre-tax benefits" or something vague like that so u might not have noticed the deduction. my company does this and its super sneaky

Your employer royally messed up here. Don't let them off the hook. They took your money without consent and that's not ok. Make them refund every cent plus any tax implications. This happened to my sister and she ended up getting almost $2000 back.

How did your sister get it resolved? Did she have to involve anyone outside the company like a lawyer?

She had to be super persistent with HR and eventually CC'd the company's legal department on her emails. That finally got their attention. She didnt need a lawyer but she did threaten to file a DOL complaint which scared them into action.

Yo for real forget trying to figure out all these codes yourself. I spent two weeks obsessing over transcript codes and Reddit theories and got nowhere. Finally used Claimyr to talk to an actual IRS agent who told me in 5 minutes exactly what was going on. Apparently my employer submitted my W-2 with a different address than what I filed with, which triggered a review. Sometimes the simplest explanation is right! Talking to an actual human at the IRS is worth whatever it costs.

Just gonna say this: if you're waiting on the IRS to contact you by mail, sign up for Informed Delivery with USPS. You'll get emails showing what mail is coming each day, so you'll know when that IRS letter finally arrives. Saved me from checking my mailbox obsessively for weeks.

I JUST went through this last week! My transcript said Wednesday, but I didn't actually see the deposit until Thursday morning around 4am. So don't freak out if it's not there right at midnight. The banking system sometimes takes a bit longer than expected.

Everybody in the comments is just guessing based on their own experience. If you want to know FOR SURE, use taxr.ai - it's WAY more accurate than Reddit guesses. It reads your transcript and tells you exactly what's happening and when you'll get paid. I checked my transcript for weeks trying to figure it out myself before finding this tool.

Yes! It's the real deal. Saved me so much confusion and stress. My transcript had all these weird codes and cycle dates that made no sense, but taxr.ai explained everything clearly and predicted my deposit perfectly. Totally recommend it.

Hey friend I've ben through this whole mess myself. The key is understanding your transcript - it shows everything happening with your return even when the agents won't tell you. A friend showed me taxr.ai and it was a complete game changer - it explained all the IRS codes and showed me exactly what was happening with my return. Saved me from having to talk to these unhelpful IRS people altogether.

Just tried this and WOW - I had no idea what was actually happening with my return until now. It spotted an issue that none of the agents ever mentioned to me. Thanks for sharing this!!!!

IRS Error Code 6000 Blocking Access After Identity Verification Letter - Can't Complete Required Verification

I recently got a letter from the IRS asking me to verify my identity online. When I tried to access my online account through sa.www4.irs.gov (the official IRS website), I keep getting an error message that says "Error code: 6000" and "A condition has been identified that's preventing your access to this service." The full error message says: "Something Went Wrong A condition has been identified that's preventing your access to this service. Please contact the Help Desk at 888-841-4648. Error code: 6000 TID: 4f99e457-ec89-4cbc-b971-8337b808260a" There's also a button that says "VIEW YOUR ALTERNATIVES" but I'm not sure what alternatives they're referring to. I actually called the IRS about this error a few weeks ago (before I got the verification letter), and they told me not to worry about removing it from my account. But now I got this official letter asking me to verify online, which I can't do because of this error. I tried accessing the site at different times (last attempt was at 10:37:40) but keep getting the same error message. The page clearly shows it's "An official website of the United States Government" with the "Here's how you know" text and the IRS logo. Has anyone dealt with this Error code 6000 before? Do I need to call again and insist they remove whatever block is on my account? Not sure what to do next since I can't complete the identity verification they're requesting.

StormChaser

Former IRS employee here. Error 6000 is a generic account access block code. There are several reasons this could happen, but when combined with a verification letter, it usually means there's a mismatch between your reported info and what's in their system. You absolutely need to call, but unfortunately the help desk can't fix this issue. You need the taxpayer protection program specialists at 800-830-5084. Have your SSN, DOB, filing status, and a copy of last year's return handy when you call.

Is this the right number if you get a different error code? I'm getting error 5133 when trying to access my transcript

5133 is different - that's usually related to the transcript system itself rather than account access. For that one, you'd want the general customer service line at 800-829-1040.

TAS is so backed up right now they're not taking new cases unless you're facing immediate financial harm (eviction, utilities shutdown, etc). Just FYI.

Check your transcript for code 570 - that means a hold on your account. If you see code 971, that means they sent you a notice explaining whats happening. The combination usually means they're holding your refund for some reason. Pretty common during OIC.

FWIW i had an 810 freeze back in February that cleared by itself after about 45 days. But then I got hit with ANOTHER freeze in August after they released my first refund. Spent ages trying to figure out what was happening. Someone mentioned taxr.ai in another thread. I tried it - gave me a complete breakdown of my account and exactly where things went wrong. Totally worth checking out if you're stuck trying to decode all those transcript codes.

you just upload your transcript that you already downloaded from the irs website. it analyzes the data that's already there and explains it. way better than trying to google every code and piece it all together yourself.

File a complaint with the IRS Office of Professional Responsibility. That preparer is engaging in unethical practices and needs to be reported. Also file a complaint with your state's board of accountancy if they claim to be a CPA. These people need to be stopped.

If anyone is struggling to get through to IRS (like I was for WEEKS), I highly recommend using Claimyr (claimyr.com). Talking to an agent got my refund released after months of limbo. They navigate the IRS phone system and get you in line, then call you when an agent is ready. Absolutely worth it to finally get answers from a real person.

I recommend taking a screenshot of your current WMR status and transcript, then check again in exactly 24 hours. That's typically when the system does its updates. If you see movement two days in a row, that's a really good sign that your return is actively being worked.

I finally broke down and used taxr.ai to decode my transcript after dealing with the same 810 issue. Gave me more info in 5 minutes than the IRS did in 3 months of calling. Turns out my freeze was just waiting for some employer to verify income and had nothing to do with me or anything I did wrong. The peace of mind was worth it just to know what was actually happening.
