Tax topic 152 is just general information.
Topic Number 152 - Refund Information
Refund Timing
The IRS issues more than 9 out of 10 refunds in the normal time
frame: less than 21 days. However, it’s possible that some tax returns
may require further review and could take longer.
IRS representatives can research the status of your return only if:
- It's been more than 21 days since you received your e-file acceptance notification,
- It's been more than 6 weeks since you mailed your paper return, or
- The Where's My Refund? tool directs you to contact us.
You will usually see this while the return is processing until it has been approved. Additionally this may be replaced or shown together with a message regarding the "Path Act".
Most refunds are
disbursed within 21 days from the date
they are accepted. However, if you
claimed the EIC or Additional Child Tax Credit, the IRS will begin
issuing tax refunds on these returns on February
27, 2019 per the rules of the PATH act.
If this applies to you, you may not see an update until late February. For more
information on the PATH act and tracking your refund, please see the TurboTax
FAQs below.
