My federal tax return was accepted on March 25 and delayed because of tax topic 152. Can someone help me figure out if there is a mistake?

No one else can see your tax return.   Only the IRS can answer your questions or give you any information about when your return will be fully processed.   March 25 to April 24 is not really a huge delay; be patient and wait for the IRS to process your return.

 

 

TurboTax gives you an estimated date for receiving your refund based on a 21 day average from your date of acceptance, but it can take longer.  “21 days”  is not a promise from TurboTax or the IRS. 

 

 

 

First, check your e-file status to see if your return was accepted:

Once your federal return has been accepted by the IRS, only the IRS has any control.  TurboTax does not receive any updates from the IRS. Your ONLY source of information about your refund now is the IRS.

 

You need your filing status, your Social Security number and the exact amount  (line 35a of your 2022 Form 1040) of your federal refund to track your Federal refund:

If you chose to have your TurboTax fees deducted from your federal refund, that will take some extra time, while the third party bank handles the refund processing.

Tax topic 152 goes to almost everybody. It doesn't mean much.

IRS will look at your individual return and make its determination .
