Tax Topic 152 is just a message from the IRS letting you know they are processing your tax return. 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
You can call the IRS for status. Please expect long hold times and calling in the a.m. is usually better.
Here are some tips when contacting the IRS:
- First choose your language.
- Then do not choose the first choice regarding REFUND, or it will send you to an automated phone line.
- Instead, press 2 for personal income tax questions.
- Then press 1 for form, tax history, or payment.
- Then press 3 for all other questions.
- Then press 2 for all other questions to be transferred to an agent
