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!

anyone saying it's about who FINANCIALLY supports the kids is wrong! the IRS doesn't care who PAYS for the kids but who they LIVE WITH most of the time. That's why it's called the "residency test" not the "support test" for qualifying child.
Esteban Tate
ā¢šÆ This is accurate. The IRS rules specifically state the qualifying child must live with you for more than half the year. Financial support only matters for qualifying relatives, not qualifying children.
Fun fact: the IRS has special software that flags returns when the same dependents are claimed by multiple taxpayers. They'll investigate BOTH returns. Your ex claiming them first doesn't mean she automatically wins - it just means she got her refund first. You still have every right to claim them if they live with you majority of the time.

Are you checking your transcript online? If so, make sure you're looking at the Account transcript, not the Return transcript. The Account transcript shows all the actions they've taken. Also check your mail religiously - they sometimes send notices explaining the 826 code and what debt it's being applied to. Pro tip: sign up for informed delivery from USPS so you know when IRS mail is coming.
Maya Diaz
ā¢Yes I'm looking at the account transcript. Haven't received any notices about the 826 code yet but I'll keep an eye out. Good tip about informed delivery!

This is all so stressful! I've been through it and the anxiety is real. just breathe and take it one step at a time. Your payment plan is still valid and the offset doesn't change that. Document verification is its own thing too. Try not to let it consume your life - the IRS moves at its own pace no matter how much we worry.
Maya Diaz
ā¢Thank you for this ā¤ļø Been losing sleep over it for days now

After weeks of trying to reach someone at the IRS for my daughter's tax situation (she made about $2300 last summer), I found a tool that actually got me through to a real person! Used claimyr.com and had an IRS agent call me back in about 40 minutes. The agent confirmed she didn't need to file but could get her withholding back if she did. Talking to a real human beats trying to decipher IRS documentation any day! Best decision I made during this tax season.
Tony Brooks
ā¢100% worked for me! I had been trying for almost 2 weeks on my own, calling at different times, following all the prompts, and kept getting disconnected. This got me through in less than an hour. Total game changer.
Nothing beats talking to an actual person who can answer your specific questions. So much better than trying to piece together info from different websites.
Isaac Wright
can't believe tax preparers were trying to charge $300-600 for such a simple return!!! that's insane. no wonder people hate tax season so much. the system is broken š¤¬

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.
Adriana Cohn
ā¢That's interesting. How does it work exactly? can it tell me anything if my transcript is basically empty?
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.

dont mean to be that person but... welcome to dealing with the IRS! they operate on their own timeline and theres pretty much nothing we can do but wait. ive had returns take 8+ months in previous years.

WHY IS THE IRS LIKE THIS?!? š« I'm also on a payment plan and they took my entire refund this year without warning. What's even the point of the payment plan if they're just gonna take your money anyway?

ā¢The payment plan prevents them from levying your bank accounts, garnishing your wages, and putting liens on your property. It doesn't protect refunds though. Never has.

Oliver Brown
ā¢Well that should be made clearer when you sign up for the plan! Nobody explained that to me š

I swear decoding IRS transcripts feels like being a detective in some weird tax mystery. I went down this rabbit hole last month trying to figure out what was happening with my offset. Ended up using taxr.ai which basically translated the whole transcript for me in seconds. Showed me exactly what happened with my offset and when I'd get the rest of my money. SO much easier than trying to figure it out myself!
