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 the letter. I made that mistake and it took months to sort out. Just bite the bullet and deal with it asap
I had to go through this last year. It's annoying but not as bad as it seems. Just be patient and polite with the IRS folks, they're just doing their job. You'll get through it!
That's reassuring, thanks! Did you have to provide any specific documents during the call?
Nah, just had to answer some questions about my past tax returns and personal info. Make sure you have that stuff handy!

pro tip: keep a detailed log of all your calls, who you talked to, and what they said. It'll save you a ton of headaches later if you need to follow up or if theres any discrepancies
That's a great idea, thanks! I'll start doing that right away.

This timing difference is completely normal and expected. Here's what's happening: The IRS has invested heavily in modernizing their electronic filing systems in recent years, allowing for rapid initial validation of returns. Their "acceptance" status means your return has passed basic validation checks. State tax agencies like Illinois typically have: 1. Smaller budgets for processing infrastructure 2. Different validation requirements 3. Integration with various state-specific programs and credits For your Illinois return, the standard processing time for e-filed returns is 4-6 weeks, though many are processed faster. You can check your refund status directly through the Illinois Department of Revenue's "Where's My Refund" tool on their website. Regarding FreeTaxUSA vs. TurboTax - both transmit your returns to the same government systems, so the software choice doesn't affect processing times. The status updates in FreeTaxUSA are pulled from the same government APIs, so they're as reliable as any other tax software.
Thanks for the detailed explanation! I just checked the IL "Where's My Refund" tool and surprisingly it actually shows my return as "received" even though the tax software still says "processing" - so I guess they don't sync up perfectly. Hopefully this means things are moving along!

That spreadsheet idea is brilliant! I should probably start doing that now before tax season. Did you also keep receipts or other documentation for the reimbursement stuff, or was the spreadsheet enough?
For bigger reimbursements (like when I bought concert tickets for a group of friends and they all paid me back), I kept the original receipt showing what I paid. For smaller everyday stuff, I just noted what it was for in my spreadsheet. My tax guy said that's probably sufficient for most situations, but the more documentation you have, the better!
