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!

Has anyone else noticed that the PDF version of Form 8962 that you can download from the IRS website calculates things differently than the Free Fillable Forms version? I spent hours trying to figure out why my return was rejected before realizing the standalone PDF I was using to practice on had slightly different calculation fields than the integrated version in Free Fillable Forms.
Tate Jensen
ā¢Yes! This tripped me up too. The PDF from irs.gov has the most current version with all the proper calculations, but the Free Fillable Forms system sometimes uses a slightly different implementation. Always do your final work directly in the Free Fillable Forms system rather than copying from a standalone PDF.
Thanks for confirming I'm not crazy! I think I'll just use the Free Fillable Forms version from the start next time instead of trying to prepare everything separately first. Lesson learned!
This thread has been incredibly helpful! I'm dealing with a similar Form 8962 rejection issue with Free Fillable Forms. Reading through all these responses, it sounds like there are so many little details that can cause problems - birthdate typos, MAGI calculations not matching, Part IV allocation issues, and differences between the PDF and online versions. I'm going to go through my form systematically and check: 1) that my MAGI in Part I matches my 1040 calculation exactly, 2) that all my 1095-A amounts are entered correctly in Part III, 3) that my birthdate is consistent across all forms, and 4) that I'm not filling out Part IV unnecessarily since I'm the only person on my plan. If I'm still stuck after that, it looks like both the taxr.ai tool and Claimyr service have helped people in this thread get their issues resolved. Thanks everyone for sharing your experiences - this is exactly the kind of real-world troubleshooting help that the official IRS instructions don't provide!

Filed mine February 15th and still waiting too! Good to know about the 4-6 week delay from the processor above. The Oklahoma Tax Commission website really should be more transparent about these delays instead of just saying "processing" - would save everyone a lot of stress. Hang in there, sounds like we're all in the same boat this year!

Has anyone actually had to go through the amendment process with Form 8962? I'm in the same boat for 2022 and wondering how complicated it is to submit. Do I need to fill out a 1040X too?
Amara Torres
ā¢Yes, you'll definitely need to fill out Form 1040X along with the corrected Form 8962. You'll need to explain the changes in Part III of the 1040X and include any supporting documents showing why your premium tax credit amount changed.

I just went through this exact same situation a few months ago! The IRS website can be really confusing to navigate, but Olivia's link should definitely work. One thing I'd add is that if you're having trouble with the direct PDF link, you can also try going to irs.gov and searching for "Form 8962 2022" in their search bar - sometimes that brings up the prior year version more easily than navigating through all the menus. Also, just a heads up - if you're amending your 2022 return because of premium tax credit issues, make sure you have your Form 1095-A handy when you fill out the 8962. The marketplace should have sent you this form, and you'll need the information from it to complete the reconciliation correctly. Good luck getting it sorted out!

Pro tip: if you're having trouble reaching the IRS, try calling your local Taxpayer Advocate Service. They can sometimes help push things along.

Just went through this same nightmare last month! Here's what I learned: the IRS processing times are absolutely brutal right now - like 11-12 weeks instead of the usual 7. But here's the kicker - they don't always send rejection letters promptly either. I'd recommend calling the ITIN hotline (1-800-908-9982) and asking for a status update. Yeah, you'll be on hold forever, but at least you'll know if it's still processing or if there's an issue. Also, make sure you kept copies of EVERYTHING you sent - birth certificate, passport, whatever docs you used. If it does get rejected, the most common reasons are: wrong form version, missing supporting docs, or unclear photocopies. Don't give up though - once you know what went wrong, the resubmission usually goes smoother! šŖ
