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!

The IRS phone system is a nightmare this time of year. After wasting 4 hours on hold last week, I used Claimyr.com to get through (https://youtu.be/_kiP6q8DX5c). They connected me to an agent in about 15 minutes. Found out my return was flagged for income verification but the letter hadn't been sent yet. At least I know what's happening now instead of checking WMR obsessively every day.
Did you have to provide any personal info to that service? Seems sketchy to use a third party when dealing with tax stuff.
No personal info needed - they just navigate the phone system for you and call you back when they reach an agent. You talk directly to the IRS yourself. Saved me hours of hold music and frustration.
Processing doesn't necessarily mean anything's wrong. The IRS is just overwhelmed and understaffed. I filed February 5th and just got my DDD yesterday. Hang in there - it'll come eventually.
That actually makes me feel a bit better. Congrats on finally getting your date! Hoping mine updates soon too. š¤

Back in 2022, I had this exact same situation. Filed in January, transcript showed N/A for weeks. Everything was perfectly fine. The IRS processing centers get overwhelmed at the beginning of tax season. Your return is probably sitting in a digital queue waiting to be processed. As long as you received an acceptance confirmation, you're in their system.
I always prepare for this waiting game every year! Last year I filed on January 21st and didn't see transcript updates until February 18th. Then suddenly everything updated at once! My sister-in-law filed on February 3rd and got her refund before me. The IRS works in mysterious ways. Just make sure you have all your documentation organized in case they request anything.
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! š 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!

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: ā¢ Your return is in the system (since it was accepted on 2/12) ā¢ It's currently in the processing queue ā¢ Transcript generation happens AFTER initial processing ā¢ The IRS rep can only see what's in their system ā¢ "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'm going through this exact same thing right now and I'm so stressed about it! š« I repaid about $4,200 in unemployment from 2023 but my 1099-G shows the full amount and I'm terrified I'm going to get audited if I don't report it correctly. I called my state's unemployment office THREE times and got different answers each time about how to handle it on my taxes. One person said I'd get an amended 1099-G (never came), another said to just report the difference, and a third said to report it all as income and then deduct it. I'm literally losing sleep over this!

Have you contacted your state unemployment office to request a corrected 1099-G? Some states will issue a corrected form that shows the net amount after repayment, which would make this much simpler. If they won't do that, did they provide any documentation of your repayment that you could include with your tax return? Also, how much did you repay - was it the entire amount or just a portion?
