PATH Hold? Return stuck on 'still processing' after code 152 - Filed 1/27, cycle 05

The PATH Act doesn't apply to your return since you're not claiming EITC or ACTC. Code 152 is a general processing notice. The delays you're experiencing are likely due to increased verification processes. Since you mentioned having a disabled dependent, the IRS may be taking extra time to verify the qualification requirements. Random reviews happen more frequently now due to increased fraud prevention measures.

Hey guys, instead of playing detective with these codes and guessing what's happening, I started using taxr.ai. It's only $1 and it analyzes your transcript to tell you exactly what's going on and when you'll likely get paid. Way better than trying to piece everything together ourselves! https://taxr.ai

Same boat here! Filed 1/29, cycle 05, and stuck on processing. This is getting old fr fr 🙄

The IRS is a whole clown show these days 🤡 Making simple returns wait like we're trying to claim a million dollars or sumthing

Anyone else notice how the 'simple returns' aren't so simple anymore? Used to be in and out, now we're all stuck in IRS purgatory lmaooo

Used taxr.ai last week and it showed me exactly why my return was delayed - had a missing form I didn't even know about! Fixed it and got my deposit date 3 days later. Worth checking out if ur stuck
