I got the same thing exactly. Ive read around and the 151 means its being reviewed still and that you may owe something weather it be a student loan a traffic ticket etc.... The 1242 means they are going to need something from you like proof of a birth certificate on a dependent or foster care papers etc... They should send you a letter explaining. I havnt gotten a letter yet. Im hoping this can be fixed because i dont owe anything never have i believe its because i claimed my two foster children for the first time.

You can call. They IRS may have made adjustments because you might of owed more taxes or a penalty for health insurance.

We also got the 1242 status code, we received a letter telling us to send in more proof of head of household, birth certificates for the kids, etc. We received back a tiny amount of money so we called to see why and was told to just wait for another letter in the mail. I don't know why either they never really said, so we're just waiting for that letter.

Very I've been through the ringer this year with this insurance BS. Sad thing about it is that I had insurance from both of my employers the entire year and they still haven't sent my letter on what else they could possibly need. I'm done paying taxes

I sent in the requested information regarding my foster children (in April) and I received a letter stating that I should hear a response by October 24, 2018...smh
