What does it mean on the irs website about Tax Topic 152?

@twins523 you might be under a manual review I still have gotten mines yet said it would be between May 26 till June 4

 got tax topic 152 last year, and also got it this year. I was stunned! 2 years in a row. While you might read all types of answers on this, basically your return has been pulled and is under manual review. This could be because of the percentage of itemized deductions you took as compared to your income, mine was due to charitable contributions last year. I had to provide support of those contributions, It then took 2 months to process my return. I NEVER received a letter. I called IRS after my WMR kept saying TT 152 and my bars had disappeared. I’m wondering how many years it would’ve taken the IRS to contact ME, had I not been aggressive enough to contact them. Anyway, I took no charitable contributions this year, and still my bars disappeared and went to TT 152 yesterday. I’m depressed about this, as I had expected a quick refund, now I know I am looking at a minimum of 8 more weeks (based on last year).

So I got that code 152 so do that means that I have to wait until the process is done and see if I have to do something else or is that mean that there’s a problem and they’re going to contact me how that works?

Yes - Just wait--you don't have to do anything.  Tax Topic 152 just means that the IRS needs more time to process your return.  If the IRS needs more information they will let you know.  For the full explanation, see:  Topic No. 152 Refund Information

I submitted my return on 01/29/24 and accepted.   It has not moved status since than with no way to find out why

Once your return is filed, TurboTax has no control over the processing of your return or the release of your refund.

Here are a couple FAQs to track your refund:
When will I get my federal tax refund?
How do I track my state refund?
Why does Where's My Refund say "approved" but TurboTax still says "accepted"?

Why do some refunds take longer than others?

What if my IRS refund is taking longer than 21 days?
