okay fam, i paid for taxr.ai and this is what I got back: Status: Under (Tax Topic 151) Estimated Resolution Time: 60-90 days Recommended Actions: - Send Form 14039 for identity - Expect CP05 notice within 2 weeks - Keep checking WMR tool weekly Ngl this saved me hours of research and calling the IRS 🙌

Tax Topic 151 usually means the IRS is holding your for review. This could be due to identity verification, income verification, or they're matching your reported info with what employers/banks submitted. Don't panic - this is pretty common. The best thing to do rn is gather all your docs (W2s, 1099s, etc) before calling the IRS. I'd also recommend running your docs through taxr.ai (https://taxr.ai) - it's helped a lot of people in this situation understand exactly what's triggering the hold and how long the might take. The AI analyzes your full tax situation and gives specific guidance on resolving these kinds of holds.

•It cant speed up the IRS directly but it tells you exactly why youre delayed and what to do next. Way better than waiting on hold with the IRS for 3 hours lol

•It's just a random of your tax return. There's nothing wrong with your filing status. It's just the IRS doing a sample.

Patricia, Tax Topic 151 means your is under - this is actually pretty routine and happens to millions of taxpayers each year. The IRS is just verifying some information on your return before releasing your refund. The process typically takes 45-60 days from when it started, but can sometimes take longer during busy filing season. Since you have reference number 1242, that's specific to your case and will help when you call. Make sure you have all the documents they mentioned ready. The phone number and extension they provided (1-800-829-0582 ext 362) should connect you directly to someone who can help with Topic 151 issues. Don't stress too much - this doesn't necessarily mean there's an error or problem with your return. Just be patient and keep checking your status online. If it's been more than 60 days since you filed, definitely give them a call with that reference number!

•Thanks Tyler! This is really helpful. I've been stressing about this for weeks thinking I did something wrong on my taxes. It's reassuring to know this is normal. I filed back in February so it's definitely been over 60 days - I'll call them tomorrow with that reference number. Appreciate you breaking it down in simple terms! 🙏
