What does tax topic 152 mean exactly and not answering with geneal

[Milano1974]

Topic 152 is just a computer generated message on Refund Timing, it literally has nothing to do with being approved or audited or anything good or bad. It simply and explanation of how refund timing works. That's it.

That's not true. Tax topic 152 is just a computer generated message on Refund Timing. It does not have anything to do with them needing more time. It's simply an explanation of how long it could take to process a refund. Does anybody do research before answering these questions? Jeez.

But I did not have any child tax credits or earned income credit.  So should I still not worry???

@hapjak3232 Tax Topic 152 means that the IRS needs additional time to process your return and issue a refund. 

Please see about Tax Topic 152 on the IRS website below:

Topic No. 152 Refund Information

[hapjak3232]

So how do you know that?  

[hapjak3232]

If I purchased the audit defense and the IRS needs additional information from me do I need to co tact turbo tax?  It had been 22 days and no refund. Just a message 152?

Why would there be a delay from tax topic 152

[jovonpetrick]

Taz returns should be available for info by tomorrow and it should say what day it gets deposited in your bank if everything is smooth

[hapjak3232]

How do you know that ?

[hapjak3232]

I talked to a person at IRS and they said they did not receive my return until 2/5/2020.  According to turbo tax it said accepted on 1/31/2020.  So according g to IRS they are still within the 21 day period and my return is still being processed.  My question is why do the IRS not receive my return until 2/5/20 if it said it was accepted on 1/31/20?

[hapjak3232]

I have no date posted 

[hapjak3232]

Ok so I am just trying to get answers!  I have filed and my taxes were accepted on the 31 no refund date just a message stating it is still processing.  Message 152 why is it taking so long?  I have called IRS they said they did not receive my return until the 5th of February.  Why if turbo tax said accepted on the 31 the IRS did not receive until the 5th????  Why is it taking so long?  I have not child credits nor do I have earned income credits????  Please answer
