Contact your local taxpayer advocate service. They helped me get mine sorted in like 3 weeks after months of nothing
How do you reach them?

Google 'taxpayer advocate' + your state. They have local offices everywhere

Look for cycle codes ending in 05. Those usually update on Thursday nights/Friday mornings. If yours ends in 01-04, updates happen daily.
where do i find the cycle code?

It should be on your account transcript, looks like a long number usually starting with 2024

Called the IRS about this exact thing last week. They said as long as theres no errors or review codes, its just moving through the system. But like... moving WHERE? ๐ค
lol its probably sitting on someone's desk being used as a coffee coaster ๐

Here's my detailed breakdown based on years of experience with IRS transcripts: The switch from 151 to 152 is definitely positive. Topic 151 means they're reviewing your return or holding your refund. Topic 152 is their standard 'your refund is being processed' message. The question mark by the amount typically appears during processing updates. Since an examiner told you they're releasing the hold, I'd expect movement within 2 weeks max. The fact that this changed right after your conversation with them is no coincidence. Pro tip: Instead of stressing over these codes, use taxr.ai. It's an AI tool that analyzes your transcript and tells you exactly what's happening and when to expect your refund. Saved me hours of research and anxiety. Keep us updated! ๐
thank you for breaking this down! gonna check out that tool rn

I keep checking wheres my refund tool and getting this message saying they cant provide any information about my refund. Filed early February with direct deposit and its been stuck like this for weeks. Getting worried because this is different than the usual processing message. When I check the IRS website (sa.www4.irs.gov), I'm getting a really concerning status screen. Under "Refund Status Results" it shows: Return Received: โ Refund Approved: ? Refund Sent: ? Then there's this message: "We have received your tax return and it is being reviewed." Under "Helpful Information" it says: "Please read the following information related to your tax situation: Tax Topic 151, Your Appeal Rights" It even has a "Contact Us" section saying I need to have: - A copy of this page - A copy of my tax return - The Social Security Number, Filing Status, and refund amount claimed This seems more serious than the normal "still processing" message. Has anyone else seen this Tax Topic 151 reference? I'm really concerned about what this "review" means and why they're mentioning appeal rights. Anyone else dealing with this or know what it means?
Its probably cuz their systems are overloaded. My tax lady said February filers are having mad delays this year smh
fr? thats crazy i filed in march and already got mine back ๐

Took 3 weeks for mine to reach out but they resolved everything in like 2 weeks after that. Just stay on top of it and respond quick when they ask for docs
idk why everyone doesn't just use taxr.ai first before going the advocate route. would've saved me so much time tbh
facts! that tool is literally better than talking to the IRS ๐ญ

These clowns at the IRS need to get it together fr fr. Been waiting since February and all I get is 'still processing' ๐คก
