If you were showing Tax Topic 152 simply means your return is still in the processing stage and topics and bars disappearing mean the process is moving along.
The general timeline of e-filed returns is: Transmission > Acceptance > Processing > Approval > Refund.
The IRS started processing returns later than in prior years and as such has a backlog to work through. They also just recently started processing returns claiming EIC and/or ACTC.
During processing, the government reviews your refund. During the review process, they look for math errors on your return (extremely rare in TurboTax) and they also check if you owe back taxes, unpaid child support, or other debts.
If they need to make any corrections, they may offset (reduce) your refund. In some cases, the correction might even increase your refund.
Once that part's done, the government approves your refund, which means it's ready to be deposited or sent. At that point the IRS site will update with a direct deposit date.

I have a question to I filled in February and now its April and I still have seen my tax for federal what do I do since the IRS is closed
For the time being, the IRS is putting all of its efforts into the details of the stimulus payments. Once they have that all figured out, they will resume processing and issuing refunds. The only thing to do right now is to wait. You should be hearing something back soon.
Not true mine showed this last year got my refund before Wmr even updated
The IRS is telling tales. When that happens you would have to call to verify your identity and tax info. Sometimes you won't get that letter to verify because they don't do their jobs. Just call AND TELL THEM THAT YOU ARE CALLING TO FINISH PROCESSING YOUR CHECK THAT NEEDS VERIFICATION.
THANK ME LATER
My refund was also accepted And today make it 23 days and My bar was missing I need help reply when you get this message....
The blue bar is used to track the refund status inside the program. It will fill in more as your return and your refund are processed and then sent. When the blue line is complete, it means that the IRS has accepted your return and sometimes it can disappear when updating but this is nothing to cause concern.
TurboTax tracks whether your federal tax return as been accepted or rejected, and gives an estimate on when you can expect to receive your tax refund. You can track your federal refund here: Where's My Refund? Make sure you wait at least 24 hours after acceptance before using WMR. Please note that the IRS issues most refunds within 21 days of your return being accepted.
The IRS Where's My Refund? lookup service provides a specific, personalized date for your tax refund.
