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!

PSA: Be careful with identity thieves trying to take advantage of this situation. Never give out personal info to anyone claiming to be from the IRS over the phone or email. They'll always contact you by mail first.
Anyone else feel like the whole tax system needs a major overhaul? This identity verification stuff is just the tip of the iceberg. 🙄
Careful what you wish for. Knowing the government, they'd probably make it even more complicated 😅

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.

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! 😅

Just to add another perspective, I formed an LLC for my freelance design business last year, and here's what I learned: it's absolutely NOT a free-for-all for deductions. I tried deducting my new laptop at 100% and got destroyed in an audit because I couldn't prove it was exclusively for business. Now I keep a separate credit card for business purchases, log work vs personal use for mixed items, and maintain a mileage log for my car. My tax guy says the key isn't the LLC - it's having a legitimate business with actual income and keeping meticulous records for anything you deduct.

•What tax software do you use that helps with this? I'm trying to track everything but its getting overwhelming.

•I switched to QuickBooks Self-Employed after my audit nightmare, and it's been a game-changer. The automatic expense categorization and mileage tracking have saved me hours of work each month. For receipts and documentation, I use their built-in receipt scanner plus a backup in Google Drive with folders for each expense category. My accountant recommended this double-system approach after seeing how badly I got hammered in my audit. The key is consistency - spend 15 minutes each week categorizing transactions while they're fresh in your memory, rather than trying to reconstruct everything at tax time.

Your friend's cousin is basically committing tax fraud, and it's only a matter of time before the IRS catches up. I see this all the time - people think forming an LLC gives them some magical shield to deduct personal expenses, but it doesn't work that way. The IRS has specific tests for business deductions: they must be ordinary, necessary, and directly related to your business activities. That truck? Only deductible if it's primarily used for the landscaping business. Personal vacations disguised as "business trips"? That's fraud. Electronics for personal use claimed as business equipment? Also fraud. What really gets people caught is the pattern - claiming tons of deductions with little to no business income, year after year. The IRS calls these "hobby businesses" and they have specific rules to prevent exactly what your friend's cousin is doing. When (not if) he gets audited, he'll face back taxes, penalties, interest, and potentially criminal charges. If you want to start a legitimate business, absolutely do it - but do it right. Keep separate accounts, maintain detailed records, and only deduct expenses that genuinely benefit your business operations.
