The IRS says take action tax topic 151 your appeal rights

[Dh1077]

 I got the tt 151 over the weekend but i do not owe any federal agencies or anything like that.  I am confused because i see alot of different post concerning this and they all say something different. I have even seen people say the received they full refund even after getting the letter I am trying to get some clarity on what to expect. Will I have to submit any type of docs in I did claim my 2 nieces this year

Was your refund amount $17 on wmr? 

[Mako0502]

Did you get any updates from IRS. I only received a portion and take action tt 151 came up. They said they sent a letter but we didn’t receive anything. 

[Playawiz]

No still no updates. 151 is still showing in the wmr. No letters . No movement. I have contacted an advocate to further along my documents. But so far, no contacts from them on how much longer it’s going to take. Still in the examination department. Last notice said for us to wait until June 26th.

I hope and pray we get our refunds soon. This is crazy. Nothing had changed besides our new born.

Tax Topic 151 means that your return is under review. There is something on the return that is being disputed, such as which credits were claimed. 

The IRS will contact you by letter. While waiting for the Notice, to see more about why this is happening, create or login to your account at the IRS here: View Your Tax Account.

For more information, see: IRS: Topic No. 151 Your Appeal Rights.

What if I can’t login to my account? I’ve tried to contact them because I am unable to create an account because I don’t have financial loans or credit cards.

The IRS recommends requesting Transcripts, instead. Be sure to select Record of Account for the type of transcripts so that all details will be included.

Same here except i filed end of January, I sent in my new sons birth certificate and proof of address he was born November 2020. I got a letter finally a month ago saying they receiced documents and give them until June 21st. I dont know still says same thing received and being reviewed...if I get my taxes ill update on here.

I was hit with tax topic 151 and received a letter to reply with verification that my 3 children (the same 3 i claim for the last years without an issue) had lived with me at the same address as me. Well yes of course my children lived with my wife and I all 12 months of 2020. Irs received my verifying documents April 9, 2021 and they have still yet to process my return and send me the balance owed to me and when I've called im being told its first come first serve and I just have to wait until they get too mine to be released direct deposited to my account. The patience is key but a person can only take so much till someone has to be held accountable and answer to this mess!

My letter was lost in the mail. How can I requested another letter?

[Toosexy81]

Mine is saying the same thing but my ex husband that doesn't pay child support or even gets custody is surely getting it all when I'm about to be evicted,this is frustrating

[Millsumt]

Same here but I only got $9.25 deposited? Still no letter so not sure what to do.. didn't know if anybody had updated you or if you found out anything
