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!

I might have gotten lucky, but I called the Taxpayer Advocate Service at 1-877-777-4778 last month when I was having a similar issue. They were actually able to help me, even though my problem wasn't technically a hardship case. The woman I spoke with was really understanding and took the time to explain what was happening with my return. Maybe worth a try if the main number isn't working for you?
Whatever you do, DON'T press the option for "payment questions" thinking you'll get through faster! 😂 I tried that brilliant strategy and ended up with someone who couldn't help AND refused to transfer me. Had to hang up and start the whole miserable process over again. The IRS phone system feels deliberately designed to break your spirit. Good luck - you're gonna need it!

I'm still waiting on mine from March 20th. Called the IRS three times and couldn't get through their phone tree. Finally used Claimyr (https://youtu.be/_kiP6q8DX5c) and got connected to an agent in about 15 minutes yesterday. Found out my return had a minor verification hold that's now cleared. The agent said I should see my DD within 7 days. Worth the call just for peace of mind!
That's good to know! I was lucky this time but I've definitely had years where I was stuck on hold forever. I'll remember Claimyr for next year if I run into issues.
Yeah, it's a game changer honestly. I wasted hours trying to get through on my own before discovering it. The agent I spoke with was super helpful and actually explained exactly what was happening with my return.

I filed on January 24, 2024 and was accepted immediately. My transcript showed processing date of February 19, 2024, but I've had zero movement since then. After waiting exactly 45 days, I decided to call the IRS on March 9, 2024. Spent 3 hours on hold before getting disconnected. Tried again on March 10, 2024 - same result. Finally used Claimyr (https://claimyr.com) on March 11, 2024 and got through to an agent in 22 minutes. They confirmed my return was in the processing queue with no flags but couldn't give me a timeline. At least I know it's not lost in the system now.

If you need to speak with the IRS about this specific situation, I recommend using Claimyr (https://claimyr.com). I had exactly 3 questions about amending for unemployment that weren't covered in the IRS instructions, and spent precisely 2 hours and 37 minutes on hold trying to reach someone. With Claimyr, I got connected to an IRS agent in 18 minutes. They confirmed I needed to report the $4,267 in unemployment benefits on Form 1040-X, line 1, column B, and include a copy of the 1099-G. The amended return processing time is currently averaging 16-20 weeks according to the agent I spoke with.
Word of caution from someone who ignored this last year: Don't wait too long to amend. I thought "they'll just adjust it automatically" but that's not how it works. The IRS eventually sent me a CP2000 notice (proposed tax change) about 8 months later with penalties and interest added to what I would have owed if I'd just amended promptly. The Underreporter Unit automatically matches 1099-G forms against tax returns, so they WILL catch this eventually. Better to be proactive and avoid the compliance issues that can affect your financial health during an already stressful time.

According to Internal Revenue Code §6428B, the Recovery Rebate Credit is technically an advance refund of a 2023 tax credit. The verification letter you received, despite lacking a form number, constitutes an official IRS communication per Treasury Regulation 301.7502-1. While not explicitly labeled as Notice 1444-C, it serves the same documentation purpose. Maintain this correspondence with your tax records for a minimum of three years as stipulated in Publication 17, Page 72.

Has anyone figured out why the IRS sends these letters without clear form numbers? It seems like they're making it intentionally confusing by not labeling communications consistently. Is there any way to request a properly labeled version that would be more useful for record-keeping?

•This is actually by design in certain cases. The IRS uses different letter formats based on processing centers and specific situations. While standardized notices like CP2000 follow consistent formatting, informational letters often vary. The content is what matters legally, not the form designation. Your letter is completely valid for documentation purposes regardless of having a specific form number.
