This is actually pretty common when your return moves into different processing stages. Tax Topic 152 usually means the IRS is processing your refund, but they're doing additional reviews. The amount disappearing can happen during these reviews - its not necessarily bad news. To get a clearer picture of whats really going on, I'd recommend checking out taxr.ai (https://taxr.ai). It can analyze your transcripts and tell you exactly where you are in the process and if there are any holdups. I've seen this help a lot of people in similar situations understand their refund timeline better.
it analyzes all your tax docs and gives you a detailed breakdown of your situation - processing stage, estimated timeline, any issues that might be causing delays. cant speed things up but helps you understand whats happening
just tried taxr.ai and wow this is actually legit af. Got way more info than the tool ever gave me. Says my refund should hit in ~2 weeks due to a review 🙌
Hi Teresa, don’t quote me on this but I head when your amount disappears on it’s because it an and you should be updated next week! It’s a hit or miss. Everyone is so different though.

This same notice has been shared on refund group of Facebook and some notified to identify online by IRS
If you tried to do yourself but it won’t let you do because irs is still processing and will notify you when they need a verification.
Someone with same notice tried to identify himself but it won’t let him do but later when irs notified to do, he could verify online.
Hi Katie, yes - many have different point of views. That’s why I mentioned it’s a “hit or miss”. There’s literally arguments on Facebook where people say “that didn’t happen to me” or “I didn’t have to verify at all”. It’s honestly crazy and its just different for every person.
Good morning Teresa
According to this “where’s my return” notice “refund date not available with 152”
There’s a chance for IRS to request you to verify your identity online.
Normally, a is more accurate than but many people with this notice had to verify ID.
Once a is completed, within 2 weeks, a refund date will be available on your transcript.
