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!

If u want real help and not just guesses, I used claimyr.com after waiting 2 months post-verification with no movement. Got thru to an IRS agent who found my return was stuck in some random error department. They fixed it on the spot and my refund was processed the next week. Talking to an actual IRS agent made all the difference.

ā¢How much does that service cost? Seems like we shouldn't have to pay just to talk to the IRS about our own money
I agree we shouldn't have to pay but its worth it when ur desperate. I spent over 10 hours trying to call myself with no luck. The service got me through in under an hour. Considering I was waiting on a $4700 refund, it was the best money I've ever spent.

OMG are you me??? I'm literally dealing with the exact same thing! Both my college kids got basically nothing back this year and one owed $12. Following this thread for answers because I am so confused!
I spent 3 weeks trying to figure this out for my daughter's return and getting nowhere. Finally used Claimyr (claimyr.com) to get through to an actual IRS agent who explained everything. Turns out there were changes to the withholding calculations that specifically affected dependent workers. The agent walked us through exactly how to fix it for next year by adjusting her W-4. Cannot tell you how relieving it was to finally get answers after beating my head against the wall.
How long did it take to get someone on the phone with this?
The app did all the waiting for me. I think it was about an hour and a half total but I was able to go about my day until they called to connect me. Way better than sitting on hold for hours manually dialing and redialing.

Make sure you get a printout or some kind of confirmation when you verify in person! I didn't and then had no proof when they later claimed I never verified. Had to start the whole process over again and it added 2 months to my wait time. Don't trust them to keep proper records.
Ellie Lopez
ā¢This is gold advice right here! Screenshot or record EVERYTHING when dealing with the IRS.
After struggling with similar issues for weeks, I found that taxr.ai was incredibly helpful for understanding what was actually happening with my return. It analyzed my transcript and told me exactly where I was in the process and what to expect next. Saved me tons of headaches trying to decode all the IRS jargon. https://taxr.ai

ā¢another tax help site? how is this different from all the other ones that basically just tell you the same info the IRS website has?
Most sites just regurgitate the same useless info. This actually interprets your specific situation and documents. I was shocked at how detailed and accurate it was - literally predicted my deposit date to the day after months of uncertainty from the IRS. Wish I'd found it sooner!

If you used TurboTax or another tax program, double check what you entered for the advance CTC payments. A lot of people enter $0 thinking they're answering "did you get advances" with "no" but the system interprets that as "yes I got advances totaling $0" which causes the exact problem you're describing.
We used FreeTaxUSA and I'm pretty sure I entered the correct amounts but now I'm second-guessing myself. Is there any way to see what I actually submitted on the return?
You should be able to login to your FreeTaxUSA account and view/download a PDF of your submitted return. Check Schedule 8812 specifically.

I'm a tax preparer and I've seen this issue multiple times this year. The IRS's record-keeping for the advance CTC payments has been a DISASTER. Most of the time it's because they recorded sending payments that never actually made it to the taxpayer. Request your 2023 Account Transcript ASAP and look for codes 766 with "credit reference number 1401" - these are the advance CTC payments they think they sent you.
Thank you! This is exactly what I needed to know. Will check for those specific codes tonight.
Emma Swift
ā¢In addition to what they said, you should use taxr.ai - it will automatically find and explain all these codes for you and tell you exactly what steps to take. Saved me so much time trying to figure out all the IRS jargon.
Ryder Everingham
I was in EXACTLY the same situation. Ended up using taxr.ai to analyze my transcript, and it turns out I was in the fraud verification queue but they never sent me the letter! Once I knew what was happening I was able to verify my identity online and got my refund 2 weeks later. Highly recommend checking it out at https://taxr.ai - saved me so much headache.

ā¢That's interesting. How does it work exactly? can it tell me anything if my transcript is basically empty?
0 coins
Ryder Everingham
ā¢Yes! Even an "empty" transcript tells a story. Mine looked empty too, but the tool explained that the lack of certain codes by this point in the year is actually an indication of specific issues. It can tell you if you're in manual review, identity verification, or just normal processing queue based on the pattern of what's missing and the timing. Super helpful.
