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!

If you used TurboTax or another tax program, double check what you entered for the advance CTC payments. A lot of people enter $0 thinking they're answering "did you get advances" with "no" but the system interprets that as "yes I got advances totaling $0" which causes the exact problem you're describing.
We used FreeTaxUSA and I'm pretty sure I entered the correct amounts but now I'm second-guessing myself. Is there any way to see what I actually submitted on the return?
You should be able to login to your FreeTaxUSA account and view/download a PDF of your submitted return. Check Schedule 8812 specifically.

I'm a tax preparer and I've seen this issue multiple times this year. The IRS's record-keeping for the advance CTC payments has been a DISASTER. Most of the time it's because they recorded sending payments that never actually made it to the taxpayer. Request your 2023 Account Transcript ASAP and look for codes 766 with "credit reference number 1401" - these are the advance CTC payments they think they sent you.
Thank you! This is exactly what I needed to know. Will check for those specific codes tonight.

ā¢In addition to what they said, you should use taxr.ai - it will automatically find and explain all these codes for you and tell you exactly what steps to take. Saved me so much time trying to figure out all the IRS jargon.

Just want to share my experience - I discovered taxr.ai from this sub a few months ago when I was dealing with an amended return nightmare. It was INCREDIBLE for helping me understand exactly what was happening with my tax account. Showed me all the codes on my transcript with plain English explanations and even gave me a timeline of when things should resolve based on similar cases. Totally worth checking out if you're trying to figure out what's going on with your return: https://taxr.ai
does it work for amended returns too? mine has been 'processing' for 7 months š
Yes! That's exactly what I used it for - my amended return. It showed me where mine was stuck in the process and explained all the weird codes that showed up.

Sometimes the best approach is to contact the Taxpayer Advocate Service. They have authority to cut through red tape when you're experiencing hardship due to IRS delays.

It's standard practice across most tax prep places. Had this happen with TurboTax, Liberty, and now Jackson Hewitt over the years. They're just protecting themselves in case something goes wrong with your return. Here's my experience with the wait times for the second payment: - TurboTax: 3 days - Liberty Tax: 2 days - Jackson Hewitt: 4 days All eventually came through, but JH was the slowest in my experience.

Might also depend on who your bank is. Some banks process ACH transfers faster than others. I got my split payment but the second half took 6 business days even though they said 3-5. My credit union is notoriously slow with processing.

ā¢I have Wells Fargo... not sure if they're fast or slow with this kind of thing
NebulaNova
ā¢Wells Fargo is middle of the road in my experience. Not as fast as Chase but not super slow either.

I lost all faith in WMR years ago. I've learned to just expect my refund when it shows up. Last year WMR said my refund was still processing for 2 weeks AFTER I received it. The system is completely broken.

I always get my tax refunds on paper checks now. Yes it takes longer initially but I've never had the problems my friends with direct deposit always seem to have. The check comes exactly when they say it will.
But then you have to wait for the mail which can take foreverrrr and sometimes gets lost!
Amina Sy
ā¢I'd rather wait for a predictable mail delivery than constantly refresh my bank account for days wondering where my money is lol. Different strokes I guess.

Make sure you get a printout or some kind of confirmation when you verify in person! I didn't and then had no proof when they later claimed I never verified. Had to start the whole process over again and it added 2 months to my wait time. Don't trust them to keep proper records.

After struggling with similar issues for weeks, I found that taxr.ai was incredibly helpful for understanding what was actually happening with my return. It analyzed my transcript and told me exactly where I was in the process and what to expect next. Saved me tons of headaches trying to decode all the IRS jargon. https://taxr.ai

ā¢another tax help site? how is this different from all the other ones that basically just tell you the same info the IRS website has?

ā¢Most sites just regurgitate the same useless info. This actually interprets your specific situation and documents. I was shocked at how detailed and accurate it was - literally predicted my deposit date to the day after months of uncertainty from the IRS. Wish I'd found it sooner!
