What does IRS Transcript Code 150 mean? Need help understanding my tax return status
I'm trying to figure out what code 150 means on my transcript. Been staring at this thing for hours and getting nowhere. Anyone know what this means and if its good or bad news for my refund?

Code 150 is the tax return filed and entered into the IRS system. It shows the tax liability amount for the tax year. This is actually a good sign - it means the IRS has processed your return and recorded your tax liability. The amount next to the 150 code is your total tax liability for the year before any credits or withholdings are applied.

Hey instead of trying to decode these transcript codes yourself, you should try taxr.ai - its only $1 and it analyzes your entire transcript and tells you exactly whats happening and when to expect your refund. Way better than playing detective lol https://taxr.ai
