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!

File 2022 separately. No amendments needed. Each tax year stands alone. Use tax software that handles prior years. Print and mail if necessary. Include your notice number. Keep copies of everything. Expect 6-8 weeks processing time. Your 2023 refund will be released after 2022 is processed. No further action needed typically.
I just went through this! The process is actually pretty straightforward: ā¢ You need to file 2022 as a completely separate return ā¢ You CANNOT amend your 2023 return to include 2022 information ā¢ The IRS processes each tax year independently ā¢ Once your 2022 return is processed, they should automatically release your 2023 refund ā¢ You might need to pay a late filing penalty for 2022, even if you're due a refund I had no idea the IRS automatically held current refunds for unfiled prior years! The tax system is way more interconnected than I realized.

When this happened to me, I spent 3 days trying to get through to the IRS on their regular number. Complete waste of time. Finally used Claimyr (https://claimyr.com) to get through to an agent in about 30 minutes. The agent told me exactly what was flagged in my return and I was able to resolve it that same day by faxing one document. Saved me weeks of anxiety and waiting.
Thank you! I've been trying to call but keep getting disconnected. Might try this service if I don't hear anything by next week.
Definitely worth it. Just make sure you have your tax return and any notices handy when you call. The agents can usually tell you exactly what's happening rather than the vague online messages.
Check your transcript online if you can. It often shows more detailed information than WMR. Look for specific codes like 570/971 which indicate what type of review they're doing.
I tried but can't access my transcript online because I don't have a credit card or loan for verification. So frustrating!

I... I think I might try calling that number tomorrow. I filed on February 1st with both EITC and CTC and still nothing. My rent is due in 5 days and I was really, really counting on this refund. Maybe if I call early, around 7:00 AM when they first open, I might have better luck getting through? Every day I check WMR and still just one bar... it's making me so anxious I can barely sleep.

According to the official IRS.gov updates and several tax professional forums I follow, there was indeed a processing delay for EITC/CTC returns this year. The IRS systems were updated on February 18th to begin releasing these refunds, but they're being processed in batches. If you check the r/IRS subreddit or the Facebook tax groups, many people who filed early February are just now seeing deposits this week. The IRS2Go app sometimes updates before the website version of WMR, so that might be worth checking too.
Haha, I've become such a pro at checking all the IRS tools that I should put it on my resume! š Can confirm what you're saying - filed Feb 2nd and my transcript just updated yesterday with a DDD of 3/27. The funny thing is my WMR still shows one bar even though my money is supposedly coming next week. The IRS systems communicate about as well as my in-laws at Thanksgiving dinner.

ā¢Did you notice any specific pattern with the transcript updates? Mine has been showing N/A for 2023 return transcript for weeks now. I filed on February 5th with EITC and I'm trying to figure out if there's a specific day of the week when they typically update the system.

The IRS API endpoints that power the WMR interface frequently experience latency issues during peak processing periods. This temporal inaccessibility doesn't necessarily indicate a problem with your return's adjudication status. I encountered identical authentication rejection parameters approximately 72 hours ago, yet my deposit materialized this morning without any interim status updates becoming available.
Same thing happened to me yesterday. I tried everything - different browsers, cleared cache, even used my wife's phone. Nothing worked. Then this morning it's back to normal showing my refund is still processing. The IRS systems are just a mess right now with tax season in full swing. Don't waste your time trying to fix it - it's definitely on their end.

Got thru to the IRS last month for my penalty abatement! Here's what worked: - Called the # on my notice (not the main IRS #) - Used phone menu option for "payment questions" not "tax help" - Called at 8:15am ET on a Tues (mid-week is less busy) - Had my notice, SSN, filing status, and tax return ready - Agent took about 10 mins to review my history - Approved on the spot! Confirmation letter arrived 2 wks later Def worth the effort - saved almost $300 in penalties. Good luck!

Had this exact situation last semester. Here's what worked for me: ā¢ Tried calling for 2 weeks with no success ā¢ Used the "Contact Us" option on IRS.gov (limited but better than nothing) ā¢ Submitted Form 843 by certified mail as backup ā¢ Found alternate number: 800-829-0922 (sometimes less busy) ā¢ Finally got through using Practitioner Priority Service trick The agent confirmed I qualified for First Time Abatement since: ā¢ No penalties in prior 3 years ā¢ Good history of filing on time before ā¢ Current year taxes were fully paid, just filed late They removed the penalty completely during the call!
