Code 152, simply means that your e-filed return is being processed and that the government hasn't approved or rejected it yet. During this time, the government reviews your refund (processing).

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, and will show the refund has been sent.
