Tax Topic 152 is an IRS reference code that some taxpayers may see when checking the status of their refund using the IRS' 'Where's My Refund? ' tool. Although Topic 152 doesn't require the taxpayer to take additional steps, your return may require further review and it could take longer than the typical 21 days.

 

The IRS would be the only ones that know why it is taking longer to process your return/refund.  Right the only thing you can do is keep checking the IRS website, Where's My Refund.  The website only updates once a day so checking more won't change what you see that day.

Tax Topic 152 means the IRS is still processing your return. For further details, please see this IRS Topic No.152 Refund Information article.

 

If the IRS has accepted your e-filed return, you can continue to check the status of your refund by going directly to https://www.irs.gov/refunds.
