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!

Filed January 30th. No updates. Checked transcript. Nothing. Called IRS. On hold forever. Finally got through. They said wait. Still waiting. Day 24 now. Getting worried. Need this refund soon. Mortgage payment coming up.
According to the IRS website at https://www.irs.gov/refunds, most refunds are issued within 21 days of acceptance. However, my experience with January 30th filing this year was much different. I received no confirmation email from TurboTax initially, but when I logged into my TurboTax account and checked my filing status, it showed my return was accepted on February 2nd. My transcript became available on February 18th, and my refund was deposited on February 25th. If you haven't already, I recommend checking your account online rather than waiting for an email, and also requesting your tax transcript online which often updates before WMR does.
Micah Trail
ā¢I'm impressed with your detailed tracking. Is requesting a tax transcript something anyone can do? I've been trying to check my status through the IRS2Go app as per Publication 5348, but it keeps showing the same message for weeks now.

I filed on January 23rd, 2024 and was accepted on January 24th, 2024. My WMR showed 'STILL processing' from February 15th until March 22nd. Exactly 58 days from acceptance to deposit. I tracked every status change. The transcript updated on March 18th with an 846 code dated March 22nd. The money hit my account at 3:17 AM on March 22nd. Independent contractor returns take longer this year because of increased fraud prevention measures implemented on January 16th, 2024.
Leo Simmons
The collective wisdom around here is that 'STILL processing' indicates your return has been selected for manual verification, which is extremely common for Schedule C filers. The automated fraud detection system (EFDS) and the Return Review Program (RRP) algorithms flag approximately 35% of all self-employment returns for additional scrutiny. Most people see their status resolve within 45-60 days without any issues. The key is to monitor your transcript for movement rather than WMR, as the transcript will show actual processing codes while WMR often lags behind.

I've seen this happen every year since 2017. Back then, I worked for a tax preparation company. The PATH Act specifically includes the Additional Child Tax Credit which is the refundable portion of the CTC. If your credit exceeds your tax liability, making part of it refundable, that triggers PATH Act verification. Last year, most of my clients with ACTC saw refunds between February 27th and March 3rd, despite filing in late January.
This community wisdom has saved me so much stress: The PATH Act delays refunds for ANY refundable credits, not just EITC. The Child Tax Credit has two parts - regular CTC (up to $2,000 per child) and Additional CTC (the refundable portion). It's that second part that triggers the PATH delay. The IRS won't even begin processing these returns until February 15th, by law. Don't waste time checking WMR constantly before then - nothing will change!

Look at your withholding, not just your refund! š A smaller refund might actually be GOOD - means you kept more money throughout the year. I adjusted my W-4 last January to have less withheld since I knew the child credits were dropping. Got smaller paychecks last year but didn't face refund shock this spring. The real question isn't "are refunds lower" but "is your total tax burden higher?" For most people, it's actually slightly lower due to bracket adjustments.
How do you calculate the right withholding amount? I always seem to either owe or get too much back.
Just to clarify - you're saying we should be looking at our effective tax rate year over year, not just the refund amount, right? That's the true measure of whether we're paying more taxes.

For investment-focused filers like yourself, pay attention to Qualified Business Income Deduction (Section 199A) limitations and Net Investment Income Tax thresholds, which remain unchanged but affect high-income investors. Capital gains rates haven't changed (still 0%, 15%, or 20% depending on income bracket), but bracket inflation adjustments might put you in a different tier. Consider tax-loss harvesting if you have unrealized losses to offset gains. Filing timing won't affect your 2023 tax liability, but might affect cash flow planning.
Brady Clean
ā¢Thank you for addressing the investment angle specifically! This is exactly what I needed to know.
Skylar Neal
ā¢This is incredibly helpful. I was worried about timing my stock sales but it sounds like the capital gains situation is stable from last year.

Have you checked if you even need to amend? The IRS website (https://www.irs.gov/taxtopics/tc502) has specific guidance on retirement plan loans. Did you take a qualified loan that you're repaying according to the terms? Or did you default on payments making it a deemed distribution?

ā¢I made this mistake last year. Thought I needed to amend when I got a 1099-R for a qualified loan. Spent hours preparing the amendment only to have my accountant tell me it wasn't necessary since I was repaying the loan according to terms. Check the distribution code in box 7 carefully!

Joshua Hellan
ā¢Just to clarify, if Box 7 has code 'L' and you're repaying the loan according to terms, you typically don't need to report it on your tax return at all.

Jibriel Kohn
Did your 1099-R show a taxable amount in Box 1? And what's the distribution code in Box 7? This makes a huge difference in whether you need to amend.
