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!

Been through this with Maryland multiple times! The adjustment is usually something minor like they corrected a calculation error or updated a deduction based on their records. The 48-hour timeline is generally accurate - I've had deposits come through anywhere from 36-50 hours after approval. Your best bet is to check your OneStop portal for any notices explaining the adjustment. If you can't get through on the phone, try the online chat feature during off-peak hours (early morning or evening). Don't stress too much - Maryland adjustments are typically small corrections, not major issues!

This is really helpful! I'm new to Maryland taxes and was freaking out when I saw "adjusted" on my status. The online chat feature sounds like a great alternative to sitting on hold forever. Really appreciate everyone sharing their experiences here - makes me feel way less anxious about the whole thing. Sounds like these adjustments are pretty routine!

I'm in a similar situation right now with my Maryland refund showing "approved with adjustment" status! Reading through everyone's experiences here is really reassuring - sounds like most adjustments are pretty minor things like calculation corrections or rounding errors. The 48-hour timeline seems pretty consistent across different banks too. I'm going to try checking my OneStop account during off-peak hours like some of you suggested. Thanks for all the helpful info everyone - definitely makes the waiting less stressful when you know what to expect!

Same here! Just got the "approved with adjustment" status this morning and was totally panicking until I found this thread. Everyone's experiences are so helpful - sounds like Maryland is pretty consistent with their timing and most adjustments are no big deal. Going to check OneStop tonight when traffic dies down. This community is awesome for sharing real experiences instead of just generic advice! πŸ™Œ

I've seen dozens of these cases resolve much faster than the worst-case scenarios. Reviews without document requests typically fall into three categories: 1) Identity verification (2-3 weeks), 2) Income verification against employer records (3-5 weeks), or 3) Credit eligibility verification (4-8 weeks). Compared to audit situations that can take 6+ months, yours is likely in a much better position. One client of mine had almost identical circumstances and received their refund in 32 days from the review start date.

This breakdown of the three review categories is really helpful! Do you know if there's any way to determine which category your return falls into based on the transcript codes or other indicators? I'm trying to figure out if my situation is closer to the 2-3 week timeline or the longer 4-8 week range.

0 coins

@Zara Shah Great question! From what I ve'observed, you can get clues from your transcript codes and timing. Identity verification reviews the (fastest ones usually) show up within days of e-filing and often have TC 971 notices. Income verification typically appears 1-2 weeks after filing when the IRS cross-references with W-2/1099 data. Credit verification reviews often happen with returns claiming EITC, CTC, or education credits and may show additional TC codes in the 700s range. Check when your review status first appeared and what credits you claimed - that should give you a better sense of which category you re'in!

I went through this exact same situation two months ago - "under review" with no additional information needed for medical expense planning too. Mine took exactly 47 days to process, which was actually pretty close to the 45-day average mentioned by others here. What helped me was setting up daily transcript monitoring and documenting the timeline for my medical providers. I was able to show them the IRS review status and most were willing to work with me on payment schedules. The waiting is stressful, but the "no additional info needed" language is genuinely a good sign that it's just routine verification. Keep checking for that TC 571 code - when it appears, your refund should follow within days.

0 coins

That's really reassuring to hear from someone who went through the exact same situation! The 47-day timeline gives me a realistic expectation to work with. I love the idea about documenting the IRS review status for medical providers - that's brilliant and something I hadn't considered. Most healthcare offices probably deal with insurance delays all the time, so they might be understanding about government processing delays too. Did you find that showing them the official IRS transcript helped, or was just explaining the situation enough? I'm definitely going to start checking daily for that TC 571 code now that I know what to look for.

Congrats on getting your 846 code! I'm still waiting on mine to update. For what it's worth, my sister got her 846 code yesterday with a 2/24 date and her Chime deposit hit this morning around 9am. So it looks like they're processing pretty quickly right now! I've been refreshing my transcripts obsessively while juggling work and family stuff too - the waiting is honestly the worst part. Fingers crossed yours shows up soon and you can get some relief from constantly checking! 🀞

That's such great news about your sister's deposit! 9am sounds like a pretty typical time for Chime to process these. I'm new to this whole transcript checking thing and honestly feeling pretty overwhelmed by all the different codes and waiting. It's really helpful to hear real examples of the timing working out. Thanks for sharing that - gives me hope that when my 846 finally shows up, I won't have to wait too much longer for the actual money!

Just wanted to chime in as someone who's been through this process multiple times! I got my 846 code yesterday with a 2/24 date and I'm also using Chime. Still haven't seen the deposit yet but based on what everyone is saying here, I'm expecting it within the next day or two. The waiting is definitely nerve-wracking, especially when you have bills to pay! I've found it helpful to set up the Chime notifications like someone mentioned earlier - saves me from obsessively checking the app every few minutes. Hope yours comes through soon and you can get that car situation sorted out! The IRS processing seems to be moving faster this year compared to last year's delays.

When I had a similar W2c issue, TurboTax had a specific section for entering W2c information. Is anyone using a particular tax software that handles this well? My accountant charged me extra last year because of all the corrected forms and I'm trying to DIY this year.

0 coins

I've had good experience with FreeTaxUSA handling corrected forms. They have a clear section for W2c and other amended docs, and it's WAY cheaper than TurboTax. Did all my federal and state with multiple W2s and a W2c for under $30 total.

I went through this exact same situation two years ago! The key thing to remember is that the W2c completely replaces the information on your original W2. You should only use the corrected information when filing - so yes, use code W with the $13,340 amount. The reason for the code change makes total sense too. Code D is for your own 401(k) deferrals (money taken out of your paycheck), while code W is for employer HSA contributions (money your company puts into your HSA account). Your payroll department probably miscoded it initially. One thing that helped me was calling my HR department to confirm what actually happened. In my case, they had incorrectly categorized the employer's HSA contribution as a 401(k) deferral on the original W2. The good news is that employer HSA contributions (code W) are generally more favorable tax-wise since they don't count as taxable income at all. Make sure whatever tax software you're using has an option for entering W2c information specifically - don't just manually change the numbers from your original W2 entry.

0 coins

This is really helpful! I'm actually dealing with something similar right now. Quick question - when you called your HR department, did they also send you any documentation explaining the correction? I'm wondering if I should ask for something in writing to keep with my tax records, just in case the IRS has questions later about why the codes changed so dramatically.

Great question! I went through this exact confusion last year. Your $67.5k distributions should definitely NOT go on line 7 of Form 1120S - that's only for officer compensation (your $60k salary). Here's the correct treatment: - Line 7 (Form 1120S): Your $60k salary as officer compensation - Schedule K-1, Box 16 Code D: Your $67.5k distributions The key thing to remember is that distributions aren't a deductible business expense - they're just you taking out profits that have already been taxed at the corporate level. TaxAct should handle this correctly if you categorize them as "shareholder distributions" in the software. One tip: make sure your books show these distributions coming out of retained earnings or current year profits, not as an expense account. This will help everything flow correctly through the tax software and avoid any confusion during filing.

Just to add another perspective - I've been running my S-Corp for 6 years now and this distributions vs. salary classification is one of the most common mistakes I see new S-Corp owners make. You're absolutely right to double-check this! Your setup sounds very similar to mine. The $60k salary goes on line 7 as officer compensation (and should match your W-2), while the $67.5k distributions only appear on your K-1 in Box 16, Code D. One thing that helped me understand this better: think of distributions as withdrawing money you've already earned and will pay personal income tax on (via the K-1), while salary is a business expense that reduces the S-Corp's taxable income. That's why distributions can't be deducted on the 1120S - they're not an expense, just a withdrawal of profits. Your salary-to-distribution ratio looks reasonable for IRS purposes too. Keep good records of when you took each distribution throughout the year - it helps if you ever get questioned about the timing or amounts.

This is really helpful! I'm new to S-Corp taxation and was worried about making these exact mistakes. Your explanation about thinking of distributions as withdrawing already-earned money versus salary being a business expense really clarifies the distinction. One follow-up question - you mentioned keeping good records of distribution timing. Do you track this in a specific way, or just maintain a simple ledger showing dates and amounts? I want to make sure I'm documenting everything properly from the start.
