If the bars are gone on wmr with tax topic 152 am I under review?

[shimikahairston]

I'm asking bc there is nothing that says I'm under review and receiving a letter, to call the irs, or any other msgs.

Tomorrow is my 21 mark day and wmr changed to no bars and says a refund date will be issued soon, im praying its not under review, last year i got them back in 8 days but i have a newborn added to the return and worked in another stae so im thinking maybe thats it, whatever came of yours?

Because of a discrepancy on our return we were under 60 day review with a hold on refund. I called and the guy helped us get off hold and review by allowing us to amending it later. That was 3/3 and we have a ddd for Mar 21.

Topic 152 is just a generic code that means your tax return is still being processed by the IRS. When they are finished, your status will change to approved and an estimated direct deposit date will populate on "Where's my Refund".

Here is a link to the IRS website on this topic:

According to the IRS, when you see 152 on your refund status that generally means: "they are processing your Tax Return".  Once the IRS has finished processing your return and it is not rejected, the status will update to accepted and they will give you an estimated date for your refund. 

The bars can take anywhere from a few days to 3 weeks to update.

If you claimed EIC or Additional Child Tax Credit, the IRS usually begins issuing tax refunds on these returns in late February.

When will I get my IRS tax refund?

Some 2019 federal refunds are delayed due to the PATH Act

what if you have two bars and they disappear and now you have the code 152 what does that mean when the bars go away and then you get to the 152

[AkinaLO]

No need to worry. Tax topic 152 refers to your refund information. Once the IRS has received your return, they can sometimes post this code notifying you of the usual 21-day timing that it could take to receive it.

Please refer to the following IRS article.

Here is another article that will provide more information on refund timing.

[Diezel-2020]

What does it mean when the bars disappear from where’s my refund and you get a message saying it’s still processing and that you will get a date when available? 

[Canaan5645]
