What does this mean

[Sentawade]

When I checked on the status of my tax this is the message I received never seen it before.

We have received your tax return and it is being processed. If you filed a complete and accurate tax return, your refund should be issued within 21 days of the received date. However, processing may take longer under certain circumstances. Please check here or visit the Refunds page on IRS.gov, to check on your refund status.

Please read the following information related to your tax situation:
Tax Topic 152, Refund Information

[TerukoL]

Tax Topic 152 simply means that your e-filed return is being processed and that the government hasn't approved or rejected it yet. Sometimes return status does not update for several days or even longer. The IRS issues more than 9 out of 10 refunds in the normal time frame: less than 21 days. However, it’s possible that some tax returns may require further review and could take longer.

Please click Topic No. 152 Refund Information to learn more.

It means your taxes are still process and will get your refund soon. Most filers with EIC will see their refund this weeks March 8th marks 21 days from February 15th when the IRS started to process taxes with EIC. A lot of ppl are experiencing the no status bar and the same message.

So if they should be released this week do you think it will change to excepted today and have a deposit by friday..

Turbo Tax will not have a status on your refund.  Please use this link to track your refund from the IRS. https://www.irs.gov/newsroom/use-the-wheres-my-refund-tool

Hopefully... But my expectations see Monday being the lucky day. If I could predict the outcome, I’d say Saturday it could change to accepted with a potential date that the money will be sent to the bank, being Monday March 8th 2020. Then depending on your financial institution, it could be available 1-3 days thereafter. However, that’s just my opinion. And if it doesn’t, I’m going to call and see when it will. Because it will be 21 days after the IRS began processing all tax return claiming EITC and, or dependent tax credits. Any calls to them prior to, can trigger a set back or delay in the refund process, according to tax analysts, and commentators, as well others who have experienced the like scenario.

BTW: it’s possible the refunds can change to accepted after midnight tonight and be available by Friday. That would be great!

Welp that didnt happen for me

[KC-1]

I had to file a paper return with Turbo Tax and submitted my return in Mid February. I have gotten this same message ever since. It has been over ten weeks and I have no way to get any additional info. The IRS website is of no help, the recording says I can’t speak to a person due to “reduced staffing levels” and Turbo Tax gives me the standard responses that are no help. I’ll be using an accountant next year.

Note, Martina75's posts are from last year (2020). If you still have a question, I would encourage you to post it as a new query.
