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!

Be extremely careful with this situation. I waited exactly 47 days for my employer to send a replacement W-2 last year, and it put me past the filing deadline. I ended up with a $435 late filing penalty that took 3 months to get removed. If you have exactly 30 days or less until the filing deadline, I would immediately proceed with getting a wage transcript and filing Form 4852. Don't trust that your employer will suddenly become responsive.
Here's what worked for me: I contacted our HR department directly instead of my boss. Turns out my boss hadn't forwarded my request to payroll. HR had my W-2 sent out the same day. If that doesn't work, call the IRS. They'll contact your employer. Most businesses straighten up fast when the IRS comes knocking.

I've been stuck on N/A for over a month now. Called the IRS six times and couldn't get through. Finally used Claimyr (https://claimyr.com) to get past the busy signals - connected to an agent in about 15 minutes. Found out my return was just sitting in a backlog and needed manual review because of a small discrepancy with my W-2. They fixed it while I was on the phone and said I should see movement within a week.
OMG I was considering calling too! The anxiety of not knowing what's happening is the worst part. I might try that service next time instead of just refreshing WMR like a crazy person 😂
Definitely worth it! I spent hours trying to get through on my own before using them. The peace of mind from actually talking to someone who could help was worth every penny.

I filed on January 29th this year with education credits and had the EXACT same issue! My transcript only showed 768 and 806 until February 17th (two days after PATH lifted), then suddenly the 766 code appeared with my education credit amount. I was shocked by how complicated the whole process was - the IRS really doesn't make this easy to understand. My refund with all credits included was deposited on February 22nd, exactly 24 days after filing.
The collective wisdom around here is "transcript codes are like reading tea leaves" 😂 Seriously though, education credits (AOTC/LLC) do typically appear after PATH restrictions lift, but not immediately. The system processes in batches. Your 768 (EITC) and 806 (withholding) are already there, which is a good sign. Most people see their 766 code appear within 7 days after PATH lifts. One thing to check: look at the expected refund amount on your return. If it's higher than what's currently shown on your transcript (the 768 + 806 amounts), then your education credit is likely still pending and not rejected. Patience is hard when you're waiting for money, I know!

Congrats on getting thru! The ID verify process this yr is brutal. FWIW, I've helped about 30 ppl in this sub with similar issues. The key thing you did right was being persistent about not needing a letter. The IRS actually updated their internal procedures (IRM 25.25.6.1) in Jan to allow phone verification w/o letters, but many reps haven't been trained on it. For anyone else stuck: call right at 7am ET, ask specifically for TPP dept (Taxpayer Protection Program), and have ALL tax docs from last 3 yrs ready. Refunds typically process 9-14 days after successful verification.
I'm so happy you got this resolved! The emotional toll of these verification issues is something the IRS doesn't seem to understand. Did they explain why you were selected for verification in the first place? I'm wondering if there are specific triggers we should all be aware of to avoid this next year. Also, did they give you any specific timeframe for when your refund might be processed now that verification is complete?

Has either of you completed Form 8332 (Release/Revocation of Release of Claim to Exemption for Child by Custodial Parent) in previous years? According to Regulation 1.152-4, the custodial parent can release their claim to the non-custodial parent, but this must be done formally with the proper documentation. If you've signed this form in the past, it could affect your current situation.

Be careful with this! On February 12th last year, my ex claimed our child without telling me, even though our daughter had been living with me since September 2022. When I filed on March 3rd, my return was rejected. I had to file by paper, and it took until June 17th to get my refund. The IRS actually audited both of us, and we had to provide extensive documentation. Make sure you file as early as possible this year - like January 29th when they start accepting returns.

•Same thing happened to me! I laugh about it now (kinda), but at the time I was furious. My ex and I hadn't even discussed it, and suddenly my e-file was rejected. Had to mail in my return with a letter explaining the situation, plus school records, medical bills, even my kid's extracurricular activity schedules to prove where they were living. I'm concerned this might happen to you too if you don't get ahead of it.
