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!

My bet is you're fine. The IRS and their systems rarely sync up properly. Last year they said my return was 'still processing' for 3 months AFTER I had already received and spent my refund lol.

I went through this exact same thing! Filed in early March, app stuck on "Refund Received" for almost a month. I was checking my bank obsessively every morning. Then one random Tuesday - boom - there was my refund, no warning at all. The app didn't update to "Approved" until 3 days AFTER the money hit my account. Since you filed in early April and it's been 3+ weeks, you're right around that 21-day processing window. The app is notoriously unreliable - I've learned to just check my bank account instead of driving myself crazy with the app. Keep checking your account each morning since deposits usually post overnight. Your money could show up any day now even if the status never changes!

Think of the IP PIN system like a digital deadbolt that changes every year - the IRS is basically sending you a new key for 2024. The online retrieval system is like having a spare key hidden under the mat - it's there when you need it! For your 2022 return, the address change might be like telling the post office where you live but forgetting to tell your grandmother - the IRS might be sending notices to your old address. Have you checked both your old and new address mail for any IRS correspondence?

I'm dealing with a very similar situation! Moved last spring and never got my 2024 IP PIN in the mail either. I ended up using the "Get an IP PIN" tool on IRS.gov after reading through these comments - it actually worked pretty smoothly once I got through the ID.me verification process. Just a heads up though, make sure you have a good internet connection and plenty of time when you do the identity verification - mine timed out twice before I got through successfully. For your 2022 return still in processing, I'd definitely recommend checking your online transcript first to see what codes are showing up. Sometimes there are specific hold codes that can give you clues about what's causing the delay. The address change could definitely be a factor - I had similar issues when I moved mid-tax season a few years back.

Thanks for sharing your experience with the online tool! I'm curious - how long did the ID.me verification process actually take once you got through? I'm planning to try this route but want to set aside enough time. Also, when you mention checking the transcript for hold codes, are there specific codes I should be looking for that indicate address-related delays? I'm new to reading these transcripts and they look pretty cryptic to me!

Received CP2000 notice for RSUs already included in my W2 - IRS thinks it's additional income! Help needed

Hey everyone, So I got a CP2000 notice in the mail last week for my 2022 tax return, and I'm completely stressed out. The IRS is claiming I didn't report about $37k in income from restricted stock units (RSUs), and they're also saying I'm no longer eligible for around $1100 in student loan interest deductions because my adjusted gross income is now supposedly over the threshold. Here's my problem - my W2 ALREADY includes all those RSUs as part of my total income! I've got my W2 right in front of me, plus my final paystub from 2022 that clearly shows how my annual income breaks down, including the $37k in RSUs. It seems like the IRS is looking at my 1099-DIV form that shows the $37k and thinking this is separate income that I didn't report, when it's actually built into my W2 figures. They're trying to say I owe almost $11,000 in additional taxes! But if I had filed my taxes reporting both my W2 income (which already includes the RSUs) AND the 1099-DIV form separately, I would have been double-reporting that $37k income. I even have all the deposit statements for those RSUs showing I already paid approximately $9800 in taxes when they vested. Is this something I can resolve by just writing a detailed letter explaining the situation and including copies of my documents? Or did I actually file something incorrectly and will end up owing some/all of this money? I'm seriously panicking about this. Thanks for any guidance you can offer!

Has anyone had success resolving this kind of issue through the IRS online account system? I'm dealing with a similar RSU situation but really don't want to mail in physical documents if I can avoid it. The CP2000 notice mentions something about responding online, but I'm not sure if that's effective for this type of issue.

I tried the online response system for my CP2000 RSU issue last year and wouldn't recommend it. The online system doesn't allow you to fully explain complex situations like this or attach multiple supporting documents. I ended up having to mail a paper response anyway after my online response was rejected. For something like RSU income that requires detailed explanation and documentation, the paper response route seems to be much more effective.

Thanks for sharing your experience! That's really helpful to know. I was hoping to avoid the paper route, but it sounds like it's the better option for complex situations like this. I'll start preparing my documents for mailing instead of trying to force it through the online system.

I went through almost the exact same situation with my 2021 return! Got a CP2000 for about $42k in RSU income that was already on my W2. The stress was unreal - I was convinced I'd somehow messed up my taxes and was going to owe thousands. What really helped me was creating a simple chart showing the breakdown. I made three columns: "Source", "Amount", and "Already Taxed". Then I listed my base salary from my W2, the RSU amount from my W2 (which I found in Box 14 like others mentioned), and showed how they added up to my total W2 income in Box 1. Then I showed the same RSU amount on the 1099-DIV and wrote "DUPLICATE - already included above" next to it. I also included a copy of my final 2022 paystub that showed the year-to-date breakdown with RSUs listed separately, plus the tax withholding statements from when the shares vested. The IRS accepted my response within about 6 weeks and sent me a letter saying no additional tax was owed. The key is really just making it crystal clear to whoever reviews your case that this is the same income being reported twice, not two separate income sources. Don't panic - this is totally fixable!

I got hit with this last year and found that some of my eBay income was reported TWICE - once on 1099-K from eBay and a separate 1099-NEC from PayPal! Make sure you check if you're getting multiple forms for the same income and don't report it twice.

This literally happened to me too! I think the new reporting requirements have everyone confused including the platforms. I ended up having to call both companies to sort it out. What a mess.

This is such a common confusion! I went through the exact same thing last year. The key thing to remember is that the 1099-K reporting threshold and your actual tax liability are completely separate issues. You're absolutely right that you only made $4,100 in actual profit, and that's what matters for your taxes. The $6,700 gross amount on the 1099-K is just what eBay has to report to the IRS - it doesn't mean you owe taxes on that full amount. When you file, you'll report the $6,700 as income but then deduct all your legitimate expenses (eBay fees, shipping, PayPal fees, cost of items if you have records, etc.) to get down to your actual $4,100 profit. You'll only pay taxes on that net amount. Also, keep in mind there's no minimum threshold for owing taxes on business income - even if you made $100 profit, you'd technically owe taxes on it. The reporting thresholds are just about when platforms have to send you (and the IRS) the 1099 forms. Make sure to keep good records of all those expenses you mentioned - eBay's transaction history is actually pretty helpful for this!

Unpopular opinion maybe but I think all this tax anxiety is overblown for most W-2 earners. I've filed my taxes in like 30 minutes using the free fillable forms directly from the IRS website for years. No software fees, no CPA costs. As long as you have your W-2s and 1099s in front of you, it's literally just copying numbers from one form to another. The "complicated" stuff like HSAs have dedicated worksheets with instructions. Unless you have a business or rental properties, paying someone hundreds of dollars seems excessive to me.

This assumes everyone has the same comfort level with tax forms as you do. I tried the free fillable forms once and got so confused I gave up halfway through. Some of us are willing to pay for the peace of mind that we didn't screw something up.

I've been following this thread with interest since I'm in a very similar boat - W-2 income, some investment activity, and an HSA. After reading everyone's experiences, I think the key is being honest about your own comfort level and the complexity of your situation. For what it's worth, I've found that even "simple" returns can have nuances that aren't immediately obvious. Last year I thought I had a straightforward filing until I realized I'd been handling my HSA distributions incorrectly for medical expenses. Cost me about $200 in additional taxes that could have been avoided. My takeaway from this discussion is that there's a middle ground between expensive CPAs and basic DIY software. Services like the tax optimization tools mentioned here, or even just getting a one-time consultation to review your approach, might be the sweet spot for people like us who aren't completely tax-illiterate but also don't want to leave money on the table. Thanks to everyone who shared their real experiences - much more helpful than the generic advice you usually find online!
