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!

Whatever you do, DON'T IGNORE IT! That's the worst thing you can do with IRS notices. Trust me, I learned that the hard way 😭
Oof, sounds like theres a story there. Care to share what happened?
Let's just say ignoring it led to some hefty penalties and a lot more stress than if I'd just dealt with it right away. Don't be like me, kids! 😅

Pro tip: If you're having trouble paying, look into an Installment Agreement. You can set up monthly payments and it might help reduce some of the penalties. Just make sure you can stick to the payment plan!
That's a great idea! Do you know if there's a minimum amount you have to owe to qualify for an Installment Agreement?
AFAIK, there's no minimum, but the process is different depending on how much you owe. If it's under $50k, you can usually set it up online pretty easily. Over that, and you might need to provide more financial info.

According to the TurboTax support forum (https://ttlc.intuit.com/), they've officially switched from SBTG to MetaBank for the 2024 tax season. Many users are reporting the same issue you're experiencing. The IRS Where's My Refund tool (https://www.irs.gov/refunds) should still show accurate information about your federal refund status regardless of which bank TurboTax is using as an intermediary. SoFi has a good reputation for processing government deposits quickly - their banking backend is actually operated by The Bancorp Bank, which handles millions of direct deposits daily. Just make sure your SoFi account number and routing number were entered correctly in your tax return.
I had this same issue and learned some things you should watch out for: • TurboTax switched from SBTG to MetaBank this year • The SBTG website won't work for 2024 TurboTax customers • The $25 fee refund is automatic but takes 5-7 business days • SoFi sometimes posts government deposits a day early • If you don't see it by March 25th, check that your account number is correct • TurboTax customer service wait times are 60+ minutes right now My refund eventually came through fine, but it was stressful not being able to track it through the process like previous years. Hopefully TurboTax improves this for next year!
IDK what youre refering to as my info is on SBTPG and now im scared i wont get my refund
@Luis Angel Pichardo No need to worry! Your situation is actually different from what the original poster described. The fact that you can see your information in SBTPG is a GOOD sign - it means your refund is properly in their system and being processed. The original poster was concerned because they COULDN T find'their info in SBTPG, whereas you CAN see yours. SBTPG Santa Barbara (Tax Products Group is the) bank that TurboTax and some other tax preparers use to process refunds and deduct any fees before sending the remainder to you. If you want to track your refund more precisely, I use taxr.ai to get my dates. It was pretty accurate for me. You can also check the IRS Where s "My'Refund tool for" official updates. Your refund is likely progressing normally through the system. The processing time can vary, but seeing your info in SBTPG means you re on'track!

I went in person for a different issue (identity verification) and they were super helpful, but for reviews/audits they probably won't be able to do much on the spot. Still, they can see notes in your file that you can't see online, so it might give you more info at least. Make sure to schedule an appointment tho - they don't take walk-ins anymore at most locations.
