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!

Honestly, file a complaint with the Taxpayer Advocate Service. This isn't acceptable, and the more people who formally complain, the more likely something will actually change. I waited 16 days after ID.me verification before I could access my transcript. The IRS needs to be held accountable for these ridiculous wait times and misleading information.

Claimyr saved me from ID.me verification hell. After waiting 10 days with no progress, I used their service (claimyr.com) to get connected to an IRS agent. The agent told me my verification had a technical issue that would NEVER have resolved on its own. They fixed it while I was on the phone and I got immediate access. Best money I've spent in a long time considering I needed my transcripts urgently for a loan application.
Thanks for the tip! It's crazy that we need third party services just to get basic access to our own tax info, but that's where we are I guess...
NebulaNinja
ā¢I know right? I was annoyed at first that I had to pay to reach a government agency, but after spending hours getting disconnected and hung up on, it was totally worth it. The agent actually told me that my verification had a technical flag that would have kept me locked out indefinitely if I hadn't called.

Does this apply to ALL verification letters or just specific ones? I got a 5071C letter, verified online, and got my refund 3 weeks later without calling. Just wondering if different letters have different requirements?
Amara Eze
ā¢It varies by letter and individual situation. Not everyone needs both steps, but many do. The issue is you don't know which category you're in until you either get your refund or wait too long with no updates.
Liam McGuire
ā¢Ah that makes sense why some people's experiences are different. Classic IRS inconsistency!
If you're struggling to get through on the phone, try claimyr.com - it got me connected to an IRS agent in about 40 minutes after I spent days trying on my own with no luck. The agent confirmed I needed to complete the phone verification (which wasn't mentioned in my letter) and processed it right there. My refund was deposited a week later after being stuck for months.
It absolutely works. They basically wait on hold for you and call you when an agent is ready. Talking to a live agent was the only way I finally got my verification issue resolved and my refund released. After trying for days on my own and constantly getting the "high call volume" message, it was worth every penny.
NeonNomad
ā¢Hmm might try it. Been trying for a week with no luck getting through!

SAME BOAT. filed Feb 5, claimed child care credit for the first time, and still waiting. the IRS phone support is a joke - waited 2 hours just to be told "its processing, be patient" š” then i used claimyr.com to get a callback from a different department and they told me it was under review because it was my first time claiming it, but that it should be released within 2 weeks. definitely worth the money to actually get a real answer instead of the runaround.
Did your refund actually come within the 2 weeks they promised?
Yep! Got it 9 days after that call. Finally having actual information instead of just "it's processing" made such a difference for my stress levels.
Nia Williams
welcome to the world of tax credits! the IRS basically assumes everyone is committing fraud now, so they review EVERYTHING. I file with 4 dependents and child care credit every year and it's always a 2-3 month wait. The system is broken. š¤¦āāļø

If you have a local Taxpayer Advocate Service office, try contacting them. They sometimes can help move things along if your refund has been stuck for an extended period. Their number is 877-777-4778.
Rudy Cenizo
ā¢Taxpayer advocate is backed up for months too. They won't even take your case unless you can prove financial hardship now.
Harmony Love
ā¢Ah damn, didn't know it had gotten that bad. The whole system is falling apart.

Double check that your bank account info was entered correctly. Friend of mine had his refund sent back to the IRS because he transposed two digits in his account number.
Anastasia Ivanova
If your still confused about how to read your transcript, I highly recommend using taxr.ai - it saved me so much time and frustration. It explains every code and date in plain English and even predicts when you'll get your refund. Much better than asking random strangers on reddit to explain IRS codes lol.

ā¢Right?? I found it after spending hours trying to figure out what a 570 code meant for my refund. It told me exactly what was happening and when to expect my money.
