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!

This happened to me three weeks ago! I was checking my transcript obsessively because I needed the money for a car repair. The 846 appeared on a Thursday with no date, and I nearly panicked. Called the IRS first thing Friday morning and after 2 hours on hold, they confirmed everything was fine. The date showed up Saturday morning during their overnight update. Got my money the following Wednesday. Yours is probably already scheduled in their system!
Watch out for this situation! My friend had this happen and it turned out there was an offset he didn't know about. His refund was being garnished for old student loans. When the DDD finally appeared, it was for a much smaller amount. • Check if you have any outstanding federal or state debts • Verify if you have any unpaid child support • Look for any letters from Treasury Offset Program • Call the TOP hotline at 800-304-3107 Hopefully this isn't your situation, but better to check!

Tax filing is like following a recipe - miss one ingredient and the whole dish is ruined. I'd add one more tip that's saved me multiple times: File electronically and choose direct deposit. Paper returns are like sending your tax info into a black hole - they take 3-4 times longer to process and are 21 times more likely to contain errors according to the National Taxpayer Advocate. Last year my neighbor filed paper in February and didn't get his refund until September. Meanwhile, my e-filed return with direct deposit came through in 11 days.
Per IRS Procedure 2023-1, taxpayers should also consider whether they qualify for free filing options before paying for commercial software. According to IRC §6011(e)(3), the IRS Free File Program must be available to 70% of taxpayers based on AGI thresholds. I was impressed by your technical knowledge, especially regarding the substitute W-2 provisions. As a first-time filer, this list has been extremely helpful in ensuring I remain compliant with all applicable regulations.

Trying to reach the IRS right now is like trying to get front row tickets to a sold-out concert - technically possible but practically impossible. I wasted 3 days trying before I found Claimyr (https://claimyr.com). It's like having a fastpass at Disney World for the IRS phone lines. Got connected to an actual agent in under 30 minutes who explained that TAS is currently only accepting cases with demonstrated financial hardship or where the IRS has made a processing error. Regular cases are being deferred until after the filing season rush.
Per Internal Revenue Code § 7803(c), the Taxpayer Advocate Service is required to assist taxpayers experiencing 'significant hardship' as defined in the code. However, during peak filing periods, TAS is permitted under Treas. Reg. 301.7811-1 to prioritize cases. Claiming exempt status incorrectly could violate IRC § 6682 and result in penalties.
I'm curious about this whole situation: • Are you having an actual issue with your tax return? • Or are you trying to get help with filing? • What specific problem were you hoping TAS would solve? The answer might help determine your best next steps.
I called TAS on April 2nd and got the same response. The representative told me they're focusing only on cases with immediate financial hardship until May 1st. Maybe try calling again after that date? In my case, I just documented everything carefully and kept a log of all my calls and who I spoke with. It might help your case later.

I went through the Manual Review Process for an amended return last month and it was a nightmare. The IRS Taxpayer Protection Program flagged my amendment because it involved dependent credits. I spent three days trying to reach an agent using the regular channels. When I finally connected, they told me my amendment was selected for Additional Verification Protocol which requires a live representative to confirm dependent eligibility criteria. Just be prepared - they may ask for documentation you don't have on hand, which could cause further delays in processing.
From what I've seen in this community, it's probably, in most cases, just a verification call. They might, potentially, need to confirm your daughter's information since the amendment specifically involves the Child Tax Credit. It seems like they're being more thorough with credit-related amendments this year. I'd suggest having not just your return but possibly your daughter's social security card and birth certificate information available when you call. The good news is that once you get through, these calls are usually fairly quick, though I wouldn't necessarily count on a simple process.

Was in same boat. Waited three weeks for letter. Never came. Called IRS. Endless hold times. Used Claimyr instead. Connected in 20 minutes. Agent confirmed portal amount was correct. Filed same day. Don't wait for letter. Claimyr saved me weeks of stress. https://youtu.be/_kiP6q8DX5c

Oh my goodness, I went through EXACTLY this last year! I was so worried about messing up the Child Tax Credit after my divorce. I finally just went ahead and filed using the portal amounts. The letter arrived THREE DAYS after I filed and matched exactly what was in the portal. I was SO relieved! My return was processed normally with no issues at all. Just make sure you have a clear agreement with your ex about who claims which year - we put ours in writing just to be safe!
