Wmr bar is gone and only says refund still processing and refund date will be posted when available,with a topic 152. Still have no deposit date but they are being issued

If you were showing Tax Topic 152 simply means your return is still in the processing stage and topics and bars disappearing mean the process is moving along.

The general timeline of e-filed returns is: Transmission > Acceptance > Processing > Approval > Refund.

The IRS started processing returns later than in prior years and as such has a backlog to work through. They also just recently started processing returns claiming EIC and/or ACTC.

During processing, the government reviews your refund. During the review process, they look for math errors on your return (extremely rare in TurboTax) and they also check if you owe back taxes, unpaid child support, or other debts.

If they need to make any corrections, they may offset (reduce) your refund. In some cases, the correction might even increase your refund.

Once that part's done, the government approves your refund, which means it's ready to be deposited or sent.  At that point the IRS site will update with a direct deposit date.

Some 2019 federal refunds are delayed due to the PATH Act

there are many people experiencing this long delay unfortunately. Here is a link that customers are posting on with updates: Path Act Customer updates.

I’m really getting agitated! I’m still waiting on my last years taxes after having to go to the tax building in cincinatti with all my paper work to make sure it wasn’t a fraudulent filing and that was about 3 months ago. I’m really upset cause all phones are down and theres no customer support of any kind through the IRS then I called the treasury of offset and they said I have a offset but can’t tell me for how much. Last time it was $7,400 now they don’t know? But if the IRS needs to get it together if they actually filed my taxes then my stimulus wouldn’t be taken and I would still have money left over I should receive from the IRS but I’m purely left in the dark with no answers to any of my questions. Anyone else experiencing this.
