If you're looking for a more balanced view of Claimyr, it's important to note that while it's effective for many, the $20 fee might be a barrier for some. It's a great tool for those who value their time or have complex issues, but others might prefer trying to reach the IRS without it, despite longer hold times.

•While it's frustrating, these verification steps are there to protect against fraud and errors. But yes, a simpler system would certainly benefit everyone.

Ugh, the IRS is such a headache. I had to verify my identity last year. Took forever to get someone on the phone. Good luck!

Update: I called the IRS (used that Claimyr thing, worked great btw). Turns out they just needed to verify my identity because of some new security measures. No big deal after all. Thanks for all the advice, everyone!

Whatever you do, DON'T ignore the letter. That's a one-way ticket to Audit City, population: you.

Pro tip: gather all your tax documents before you call. W-2s, 1099s, receipts, everything. Better to have too much info than not enough.

I found a way to get someone on the phone without the wait. I used this site's (claimyr.com) calling tool that dials the phone menu, stays on hold, waits for a live agent to pick up, then sends the call to my phone. It does cost $20, but it works. Check out this video: https://youtu.be/_kiP6q8DX5c

•Totally legit! I was skeptical at first too, but it saved me hours of hold time. Worth every penny imo.

•$20 just to make a phone call? That's highway robbery! 🤬

•I get it, but think about how much your time is worth. For me, not sitting on hold for 3+ hours was totally worth it.

•I've used Claimyr too, and it worked as advertised. However, $20 is a bit steep for some people, especially if they're already stressed about tax issues. But if time is money, it might be worthwhile.

Been there, done that. It's a pain in the butt, but don't worry too much. Usually, they just want you to confirm some info or provide additional documentation. What exactly are they asking you to verify?

•They didn't give me many details. Just got a letter saying they need to verify my tax return. I'm kinda freaking out 😰

•Deep breaths, my dude. It's probably nothing major. Call them up and ask for specifics. They'll tell you exactly what they need.

Hot take: maybe if we simplified the tax code, we wouldn't need all this verification nonsense in the first place 🤔 Just sayin
