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!

I feel your pain, OP. The IRS is so understaffed and underfunded, it's ridiculous. We need to pressure our representatives to give them more resources so we don't have to deal with this bs.
Preach! š The whole system needs an overhaul. It's 2023, why are we still dealing with this?

I feel your pain, OP. The IRS is seriously understaffed and overworked. It's not an excuse, but it explains why it's so hard to get through. Hang in there!

ā¢Yea, I heard they're still dealing with a backlog from the pandemic. Wild that it's taking this long to catch up š¤¦āāļø

PRO TIP: If you can't get through on the phone, try contacting your local Taxpayer Advocate Service. They can sometimes help push things along when you're stuck.
I didn't even know this existed! Thanks for the tip, I'll look into it.

One thing nobody's mentioned - for contractors specifically, insurance rates can be different between LLC and LLP. Our insurance broker gave us a better rate on general liability and workers comp for our LLC versus what we would have paid as an LLP. Something to consider when making your decision since insurance is a major expense in contracting.
Is that true across all states? I'm in Florida and starting a similar business. Did your broker explain why there's a difference in rates between the two structures?
From what our broker explained, it's not universal across all states but is common in many. The difference comes from how insurance companies assess risk based on historical claims data. They have more data on contractor LLCs than LLPs since LLCs are much more common in the construction industry. In Florida specifically, I've heard the difference can be even more pronounced because of how your state handles construction defect claims and the associated liability. Insurance companies have specific rating factors for different business structures, and LLCs in contracting tend to have more favorable loss histories in their actuarial data. Definitely worth getting quotes for both structures from a broker who specializes in contractor insurance.
Don't forget about self-employment taxes! With both LLC and LLP taxed as partnerships, you'll pay self-employment taxes (15.3%) on your entire distributive share. Once you're making decent money, you might want to consider having your LLC elect S-Corp taxation status to potentially reduce those taxes. My contracting business started as an LLC partnership but we switched to S-Corp taxation after hitting about $200k in profits. Saved us thousands in SE taxes while maintaining the liability protection of the LLC structure.

ā¢Can you explain more about how that works? We're just starting but hoping to grow quickly. How complicated was switching to S-Corp taxation?

Has anyone tried reaching out to their congressperson? I've heard that can sometimes help with IRS issues.
