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

[Rachel_W · Accepted solution]

Tax Topic 152  is basically an informational message from the IRS letting you know that they are processing your Tax Return.  Once the IRS has finished processing your Tax Return successfully, they will update your status to "approved" and will add an estimated direct deposit to WMR.
