I was told to refer to topic 152 and provided with this message We apologize, but your return processing has been delayed beyond the normal timeframe. Should I worry?

I have this same message. I filed on 1/26 and they got accepted the same day. I am not sure what is going on, I hope that there is nothing wrong with my return. I do have the ATC & EIC?

I got the same message and now I am worried I did something wrong. I checked my return and all the numbers are correct. Could it be something with Turbotax? 🤔

Tax Topic 152 is a tax topic related to refund information and refund timing. For more information, please click on the link below.

Topic No. 152 Refund Information

Please see the below TurboTax help article if you are claiming the Earned Income Tax Credit (EIC) and/or Additional Child Tax Credit.

Some federal refunds are delayed due to the PATH Act

You’re wrong 152 means that you’re getting a refund, i think you meant 150 or 151

You didn't do anything wrong. There are many of us that are seeing this same message. There is an entire thread about it in Reddit that I am following.

Do you have the link to the Reddit thread?

Bless you for this info! 

I was having a panic attack. My entire state tax return was garnished by a medical bill I had no idea was ever in collections or that my insurance did not cover it (a 100% covered item). Then I saw this message and was like: "Oh great, what now." :(

I'm in the same boat. Bank account is in the negatives now because I was expecting it to arrive early or at least on time like last year.

I'm in the same boat.

I am in the same boat.  However, yesterday I pulled my transcript and it said "no return filed".   I filed mine on January 25th.   This morning my return transcript showed up for 2021 and it says Direct Deposit 2-24.   I guess it's good news to know it is coming next week.  Hope all of you see something soon.

[MM117]

I just checked and was able to pull my transcript with an expected deposit date of 2/24. I hope it's true. 🙏 😟

[deatonkim]

Mine says the same of 2/24.   I submitted mine on 1/25.

They have done this for years and Turbo Tax don't care they just want your $

Wow so you already got your State return? I filed and was accepted on the 31st of January and haven’t gotten anything. I just got the ‘We apologize” message and says mine is taking longer than normal and I filed a simple tax return with no dependents.
