I received the same message. I'm assuming they are just extremely backed up.

Please see this article from the IRS in regards to Tax Topic 152:  https://www.irs.gov/taxtopics/tc152

This is a standard message you receive when checking your refund status.

My return changed to tax topic 152 a month ago. Was due to receive 2/11/22 and have gotten no info since in mail on line or where's my refund. No one at IRS ever answers phone everything is automated. Being in limbo sucks.

Tax topic 152 refers to your refund information. Once the IRS has received your return, they can sometimes post this code notifying you of the usual 21-day timing that it could take to receive it. 

Please refer to the following IRS article.

Here is another article that will provide more information on refund timing.

We recommend that you contact the IRS when it has been longer than 21 days from acceptance.
