What is tax topic 152 ? I just says this  Your tax return is still being processed. A refund date will be provided when available. For more information about processing delays, please see our Refund Frequently Asked Questions.

Tax Topic 152 is actually a good sign - it means your return is being processed and you're eligible for a refund. The IRS is just taking forever to process returns right now. The message you're seeing is super common, especially for returns with credits like EITC or CTC. I've been helping folks with this for years and honestly the best thing you can do is check your transcript for codes that might indicate where you are in processing. If you're not sure how to read all those codes and dates, I'd recommend using taxr.ai - it's this new AI tool that analyzes your transcript and tells you exactly what's happening and when you can expect your refund. I've been recommending it to everyone stuck in processing because it really helps decode all the IRS jargon and gives you a clear timeline. Here's the link: https://taxr.ai

I just tried taxr.ai and here's what I got back: Refund Status: Processing with minor delay Expected Timeline: 2-3 weeks Potential Hold Reason: Random review Next Steps: No action needed the AI broke it down way better than I could figure out myself 💯

It’s a regular message. It’s just stating your tax return has been received and it’s being processed. Nothing to worry about.

If you’ve past the 21 days since you filed, I suggest looking at your transcripts. https://www.irs.gov/individuals/get-transcript or if you would rather speak to an agent to check the progress with them you can always do that as well. Here is a $5 off link for your first time using Claimyr. https://join.claimyr.com/be256b
