I got the same message everyone said it meant I was getting a refund. I called the irs this morning turns out I’m being held for review and I shouldn’t expect a refund until 45 days after March 18 when the review starts

@darlienep1965 Tax Topic 152 is just a message from the IRS letting you know they are processing your tax return and there could be a delay.  Once the IRS finishes processing it, they will update your status and then will add an estimated refund time on Where's My Refund? as applicable.

Please see this IRS article for more information:  https://www.irs.gov/taxtopics/tc152

My refund was sent out. So how long will it take to get to my account

[TerukoL]

It can take up to 5 business days for your bank to deposit your tax return into your account. If the status in Where’s My Refund? shows “Refund Sent”, the IRS has sent your tax refund to your bank for direct deposit. If you don't receive it in after 5 business days, then you should contact your bank.
