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!

Whatever you do, DON'T call the number on that notice without verifying it first! Look up the official IRS number separately and call that. There are so many scams going around this tax season.
This is good advice for any contact from the "IRS" - always call the main IRS number (800-829-1040) and ask to be transferred to the right department rather than calling random numbers in letters or emails.
If you actually want to talk to the irs, use a calling service. I used claimyr.com and it was so much better than the literal days of my life I've wasted trying to reach them myself. It only took about 30 mins to get a person on the line who actually was helpful and told me exactly what the issue was with my return and how to fix it.

My sister works for the IRS (not giving tax advice just sharing what I know). She says there's sometimes a 24-48 hour delay between when the IRS initiates the refund and when it actually gets to your bank. If today is your DDD, it could take till Wednesday or Thursday.
Call the tax advocate service at 1-877-777-4778. They can sometimes help speed things up if your refund is delayed past the DDD.
Good luck getting through to them though. They're even harder to reach than the regular IRS!
After trying for weeks to get through to the Taxpayer Advocate Service with no luck, I used claimyr.com to connect with an IRS agent directly. Got my issue resolved in one call!

Why does the IRS gotta be so SLOW every damn year?? I filed in February and didn't get my refund until April. The whole system is broken. But yeah your transcript looking like that is totally normal while you wait. Nothing to worry about yet.

ALWAYS ALWAYS ALWAYS use a traditional bank for tax refunds if you can. Online banks are still catching up with their systems for handling these special types of deposits. Learned this the hard way like you. 😭
Here's a hack that works - if you have both a traditional bank account and an online bank like Chime, have your refund sent to the traditional bank first, then transfer it to your online account afterward. Avoids all these rejection issues!
That's a really smart idea. Will definitely do this next year!
This 💯. I do this every year and never have problems.

Fun fact: the IRS sends these letters via regular mail, not certified, so they have no way of knowing if it got delivered or not. and they won't resend it automatically if it gets lost. the whole system is completely bonkers.

•You'd think an agency that can garnish your wages and put liens on your property would at least spring for certified mail... 🤦♂️

Ugggh this is the WORST. I went through this last year and wasted so much time. My advice? Skip the phone tag completely and use taxr.ai - it analyzes your transcript and tells you what's actually happening with your return. Saved me hours of stress and confusion trying to decipher what was going on. https://taxr.ai
