152 is not necessarily a bad code, it means it's still processing. There's even some still processing from 2019. It can be frustrating to wait so long but 152 code is better than 151.. hopefully it all means we'll be guaranteed a refund in 2021. There's alot of factors holding everything up. So if it's been passed 12 weeks from filing. Time to Call, if you've already called and been waiting, months after maybe write the IRS a Letter ( just stating your case) or that you need to be informed as your transcript isn't showing reasons for being held up. They may simply want you to Mail it in, which takes longer. I would just follow thier advice. Hope that helps, Good Luck!
