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!

Call the Taxpayer Advocate Service! They're designed specifically to help with cases where you're experiencing financial hardship due to IRS delays. If you need this refund urgently, they may be able to expedite your case. Look up your local office online.

ā¢TAS won't take most refund delay cases right now unless you're about to be evicted or have utilities shut off. They're as overloaded as the rest of the IRS.
Worth trying though. They helped me last year when I was in a similar situation even though I wasn't facing immediate eviction. Just had to explain that I needed the funds to pay for some medical expenses.
This might be a good time to adjust your withholding so you're not giving the government an interest-free loan every year that they can hold hostage. I know this doesn't help with your current situation, but for future reference, try to get your withholding as close as possible to what you'll actually owe.
I get what you're saying, but I claim my kids and get earned income credit, so I'll always get a refund no matter what. Plus I kind of like the forced savings since I'm terrible at setting money aside otherwise.
Fair enough! Just throwing it out there since many people don't realize they can adjust withholding. Hope your refund comes through soon!

you need to verify if the irs actually recieved your return. i had this issue last year and it turns out my tax preparer submitted it but it got rejected for some reason and they never told me. i didnt find out until april when i called. check with whoever prepared your taxes!
Miguel Ortiz
ā¢I prepared them myself with software, and got the acceptance confirmation. But maybe I should double check...
Hey everyone- so I had almost the exact same issue a couple weeks ago. Like literally the same transcript situation. I used Claimyr to get through to an IRS agent (found them at claimyr.com) and the agent told me my return was flagged for manual review due to the education credits. Nothing I could do but wait, but at least I knew what was happening. My transcript finally updated last Friday and my refund hit my account yesterday. Sometimes you just need to talk to an actual human at the IRS to figure out what's happening.
100% works. They basically call the IRS and navigate the phone tree for you, then call you once they have an agent on the line. I'd tried calling myself over and over and got nowhere. With Claimyr I was talking to an actual IRS employee within 20 minutes. Completely worth it when you're desperate for answers.

Santa Barbara TPG is the absolute WORST. They hold onto our money as long as possible evry year. There should be laws against this. They already charge fees to process our refund, then they make extra money by holding our funds and collecting interest. Criminal behavior if you ask me.
StarSeeker
ā¢š This. They're basically double-dipping on fees. Next year I'm just paying my tax prep fee upfront and getting direct deposit from the IRS.
Ava Martinez
Not sure if this is helpful but i looked up my info on the IRS website directly using taxr.ai and it showed my refund had an offset I didn't know about. That was why TPG was taking longer - they had to adjust the amount. Might not be your situation but worth checking if the delay continues.
What's an offset? Should I be worried about that?
Ava Martinez
ā¢An offset is when the government takes part of your refund to pay a debt like student loans, back taxes, child support, etc. If you don't have any of those debts you're probably fine. For me it was an old student loan I forgot about š¤¦āāļø

Ugh I feel your pain. I've been trying the in-person option but can't get an appointment anywhere within 100 miles of me. All booked solid for months. The IRS is such a joke.
Lifehack: If you file a paper return instead of e-filing, you're much less likely to get flagged for identity verification. I haven't been asked to verify in 5 years since I switched to paper filing. Yes it takes longer initially but no verification hassles.
StarStrider
ā¢but paper returns take forever to process. last year it took like 4 months to get my refund when I filed by mail
yeah but at least it's a predictable 3-4 months. with e-file and verification issues it can be anywhere from 3 weeks to never lol
Ellie Lopez
check cashing places will usually cash tax refund checks with proper ID if you need the money immediately when it finally arrives. they charge a fee but sometimes its worth it to not wait for a bank to clear it
