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.

Hello, my status has been sitting on the same status stating that they are processing the refund and will have an available date when it's been processed for about a week now. I had it direct deposited. Is there any additional feedback you can provide or any information I need to provide so it can be processed. My tax return was accepted on 1/28 and I still have no updated yet.
