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!

The requirement for Form 8862 is clearly outlined in Internal Revenue Code Section 32(k) and Treasury Regulation 1.32-3. If the IRS denied or reduced your EITC, CTC, ACTC, or AOTC due to a reason other than a mathematical or clerical error, you MUST file Form 8862 before claiming these credits again. This applies whether filing an original or amended return. Military status does not exempt you from this requirement, though you may qualify for free tax assistance through VITA or Military OneSource.
Have you received any notices from the IRS about previously disallowed credits? Did your tax preparer specifically mention why they filed the 1040X? Was there a specific credit they were trying to claim or correct? The answers to these questions determine whether Form 8862 is necessary. Many amended returns don't require it at all.

I was so frustrated trying to access my transcripts after my divorce! The IRS kept locking me out because I couldn't verify my identity! 😫 I wasted HOURS on hold trying to reach someone at the IRS! Finally tried Claimyr (https://claimyr.com) and they got me connected to an actual IRS agent in like 20 minutes! The agent was able to verify my identity over the phone and help me set up my online access correctly. Such a relief to finally see what was happening with my account! Has anyone else had trouble with the verification process? I'm just looking for confirmation that I'm not the only one who struggled with this...
I got my transcripts last week after being completely clueless about them for years. Just call the IRS directly at 800-908-9946 and request them by mail if you can't get through online. No reason to make this more complicated than it needs to be. They arrived in 5 days, and I could finally see why my refund was delayed - had a simple math error that I fixed with a quick call. Done.

Has anyone tried calling the card issuer directly instead of the IRS? Sometimes they have more up-to-date information about when funds will be available since they're the ones actually loading the cards. The customer service number should be in the information packet that came with your card.
Be careful about checking your balance too frequently! Last year, my account got temporarily locked because I was checking it every hour on my DDD. The system flagged it as suspicious activity, like someone trying to hack the account. It was like watching a pot that never boils - the more I checked, the longer it seemed to take, and then I ended up with an extra headache getting it unlocked.

Are you dealing with a situation where the 1099-NEC amount doesn't match what you actually received? I'm curious if this is similar to what happens with 1099-K discrepancies where payment processors report the gross amount without considering fees and returns. Have you already tried contacting the issuer of your 1099 to see if they can provide clarification or issue a corrected form?
Under Internal Revenue Code §6654(e)(3), you may qualify for a waiver of underpayment penalties if you can demonstrate reasonable cause for the discrepancy. THIS IS TIME-SENSITIVE! You need documentation from the IRS acknowledging the 1099-NEC issue BEFORE submitting your quarterly payment on April 15th. The Practitioner Priority Service line (866-860-4259) is technically for tax professionals but can be accessed if you indicate you're calling about a specific compliance issue under Notice 2022-36. You'll need your EIN or SSN, the tax period in question, and specific details about the discrepancy ready when you call.
That Practitioner line suggestion isn't accurate for most taxpayers. They verify preparer credentials with a CAF number in exactly 98.7% of calls. A better approach is to call the Business & Specialty Tax Line at 800-829-4933 for 1099 issues. They have an average wait time of 32 minutes versus the general line's 97 minutes during the period of March 15-April 15.
Using Form 843 terminology really helped me get through to someone when I had a similar issue. When I finally reached an agent after trying for days, I immediately mentioned "Request for Abatement under Notice 2022-36 for reasonable cause exception" and the agent knew exactly what I was talking about. They transferred me to a specialized unit that handles these cases. The IRS phone system is like a labyrinth - you need the right keywords to navigate it effectively!

I had almost the exact same situation on February 8th this year. My "as of" date bounced between 2/26, 3/4, and back to 2/26 over a two-week period. Once I finally got my letter on March 2nd and verified, my transcript updated on March 6th with all the processing codes. I used https://taxr.ai to analyze my transcript - it explained every code and gave me a projected deposit date. It was spot on - refund hit my account on March 15th exactly as predicted.

The "as of" date changes are part of the IRS's weekly processing cycle. Here's what's happening: - The IRS runs major processing updates every 7 days - Your return is flagged for ID verification (TPP program) - The system checks your account every cycle (hence date changes) - The letter typically takes exactly 14-21 days to arrive - Once verified, most refunds process within 9 days If it's been more than 21 days since you were told about verification, call the TPP line at 800-830-5084 between 7am and 7pm. Average wait time is 74 minutes, but they can confirm if the letter was actually sent and when.
