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!

System delay. Not unusual. Happens every year. IRS computers update in batches. February filers often wait longer. Keep checking WMR daily. Transcript will appear suddenly. No need to panic yet. Still within normal timeframe.
I understand how frustrating and confusing this can be! Here's what's likely happening: • Your return is in the system (since it was accepted on 2/12) • It's currently in the processing queue • Transcript generation happens AFTER initial processing • The IRS rep can only see what's in their system • "Blank" transcripts are common for February filers until April I filed on February 9th last year and couldn't get transcripts until April 1st, but my refund processed normally. Unless you get a specific error letter, this is just normal IRS processing delays.

I had something similar happen last year and it turned into a NIGHTMARE. Started just like yours - weird transcript with mixed year info. Ended up waiting 11 months for my refund because my return got flagged for identity verification but they never sent the letter! I only found out when I called in July. Not trying to scare you, but if you don't see movement in the next week or two, be proactive and call them. Don't assume it's normal processing like I did!
Tax professional here. What you're seeing is the Account Transcript for 2022 showing correctly that you didn't file a 2022 return yet (if you don't need to file for 2022, that's fine). The 2023 transcript shows N/A because it hasn't been fully processed into the transcript system yet. This is completely normal for returns filed in January, especially with the PATH Act delays if you claimed certain credits. As long as WMR shows 'received,' you're fine. Give it another week or two.
Filed 1/30 with TurboTax - Still No Update (First Year Claiming Son in Rotation)
Hey tax pros - need some advice here. Filed on 01/30 w/ TurboTax and still zero updates on anything. Got 3 kiddos total, but this yr is my first claiming my son (his dad & I alternate yrs per our agreement). I've checked WMR daily, transcripts twice weekly, and even verified my ID through [ID.me](http://ID.me) just in case. My AGI is ~120k, so I'm not eligible for EITC, just standard CTC. Already double-checked all SSNs, DOBs, and filing status details. Any ideas why it's taking so long? Processing times seem way off compared to prev yrs. TIA for any insight!

The IRS has special verification procedures for alternating dependents. This is normal. They're preventing fraud. Their systems flag these returns automatically. Manual review takes time. Your return isn't lost. It's in a special processing queue. No need to worry yet. The 2023 processing timeline is longer than usual. Many first-time dependent claims take 8-10 weeks. Keep checking your transcript weekly. Look for code 570 or 971 to appear. That means verification has started.
This is super helpful. I've been checking my transcript daily which is probably excessive, right? Should I be looking at the account transcript or the return transcript to see these codes?
Welcome to the wonderful world of IRS dependent verification! 😅 I'm in the same boat (filed 2/2, alternating custody with ex). From what I've gathered lurking on this sub, returns with first-time dependent claims or alternating dependents are taking 8-12 weeks this season. The good news is that the vast majority process without requiring any additional documentation. The bad news is there's not much we can do except wait it out. I've seen several posts from people in our situation who suddenly got their DDD after 9+ weeks with zero prior updates. Hang in there!

Be extremely careful with Form 4868 extension requests! If you underestimate your tax liability significantly, the IRS can invalidate your extension retroactively. This happened to a client of mine who estimated owing $1,200 but actually owed $6,800. The IRS assessed a failure-to-file penalty of $1,275 plus interest compounded daily. Always err on the side of overpayment if there's any uncertainty in your tax situation.
Has anyone here filed an extension while living abroad? I'm wondering if the process is different for someone who qualifies for the Foreign Earned Income Exclusion compared to someone like you who's newly arrived in the US?
I believe I can help answer this. If you're living abroad on the regular filing deadline (April 15), you automatically get an additional 2 months (until June 15) without having to file Form 4868. However, if you need more time beyond June 15, you would still need to file the extension request. And yes, the same rule applies - any tax owed is still due by the original April 15 deadline regardless of where you're living. Would that address your situation?

When my mom passed last year, I was in a similar situation with needing my refund for funeral costs. After weeks of trying to reach someone at the IRS with no luck, I used Claimyr.com to get through to an agent in about 15 minutes. They were able to expedite my refund due to hardship. Sometimes just getting a human on the phone makes all the difference when you're dealing with something urgent. Glad you found the help you needed here!

•I've seen Claimyr mentioned a few times here. Does it really work? I've been calling for days and can't get through.

•100% worth it in my situation. I had spent literally days trying to get through on my own. Claimyr had me connected to an actual IRS agent in minutes. When you're dealing with something time-sensitive like I was, the service pays for itself.

This community helped me figure out my offset issues last year too. The regular IRS phone lines are basically useless during tax season, but someone here pointed me to the right department to call. Got my issue resolved in one call instead of weeks of runaround. Congrats on your refund!
