Topic 152 is a generic reference code that some taxpayers may see when accessing the IRS refund status tool.  Unlike other codes that a taxpayer might encounter, Tax Topic 152 doesn't require any additional steps from the taxpayer.

 

According to the IRS, 9 out of 10 tax refunds are processed in their normal time frame of fewer than 21 days.  But if you come across a reference to Tax Topic 152, your return may require further review and could take longer than the typical 21 days.

 

Keep in mind this tax topic doesn't mean you made a mistake or did anything wrong when filing.  It simply means your return is being processed and has yet to be approved or rejected.   More Info on 152
