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!

When you say "verified yourself online" - do you mean you created an IRS account or do you mean you had to go through ID verification because your return was flagged? Two very different things.
Created an IRS account through ID.me - wasn't flagged for anything
Then you're totally fine! That's just standard account creation, not extra verification. Your return will process normally.

No one can really predict what the IRS will do - they're completely overwhelmed and understaffed. BUT if you want REAL answers instead of guesswork, try using taxr.ai - you upload your transcript and it tells you exactly what's happening with your return, if there are any issues, and what you need to do. Way better than these stabs in the dark (no offense to anyone). I was in your exact position last year and wasted weeks trying to figure out what was going on before finding this tool.

•Yeah it does cost something but honestly after spending HOURS on hold with the IRS and getting nowhere, it was totally worth it to me. I got answers in minutes that I couldn't get after days of trying.

•Can confirm taxr.ai is legit. Used it when I had a weird code on my transcript and no one could tell me what it meant. The tool explained everything and even predicted when my refund would arrive - was only off by 2 days.

The only thing that worked for me was the Taxpayer Advocate Service. Had to wait 3 weeks for an appointment but they resolved it same day once I got in front of them.
Quick question - are you trying to verify through the "Get Transcript" system or through the Identity Verification Service? They're two different things with different processes.
It's the Identity Verification Service. After I e-filed they sent me a message saying I needed to verify my identity before they would process my return.
Ok that's the right one then. Just wanted to check because sometimes people confuse the two systems. Unfortunately the mailed code is your only option unless you go through TAS or congressional rep as others have suggested.

KEEP COPIES OF EVERYTHING! And send it certified mail so you have proof of when you mailed it. The IRS has "lost" my mail before.
This is key. Document everything. I send all IRS mail with tracking and keep the receipts for years.

Not sure if anyone else mentioned it, but make sure you're not using a public wifi network when attempting to access the IRS site. They have security measures that might block access from public networks.

I gave up on the website and just went to my local IRS office in person. Waited about an hour but walked out with my transcript printed. If your mortgage deadline is coming up fast, this might be your best bet.
This!! In-person is sometimes faster than fighting with their website. Just make sure to check if you need an appointment - some offices require them now.

If you have a tax advocate in your area, contact them! They can often speed things up or at least give you a straight answer about what's happening. Totally free service too.

•Tax advocates won't touch your case unless it's been over 30 days with no movement or you can prove financial hardship.

•That's not entirely true. I got help after just 2 weeks because I was about to be evicted and needed my refund. They can make exceptions for hardship cases.

I filed in January and got the same letter in February. Got my refund 3 days ago. So for me it was about 8 weeks total. Absolute bull💩 that we have to wait so long for our OWN MONEY.
