Tax Year Prior to 2020: What does the code 151 mean and how do I fix it?

Code 151 means IRS is reviewing your return.  There is nothing you need to do right now.  IRS will send you a letter of explanation in approximately 4 weeks. The letter will provide details of the reason for the review and give instructions about what you need to do next.  Sometimes it is just a matter of providing some additional information.  The following FAQ will provide additional information for you.

There is nothing to do right now.  The IRS will send you a letter if they need you to take any actions.

Code 151 means that the IRS is reviewing your return, and will send you a letter if there is any action or further documentation they request. There isn't anything you can do until they send you the letter. Keep a look out in the mail for it and make sure you return any and all documentation they ask for as quickly as you can so they can process your refund,

The IRS is the only agency that can give you a processing time table. Their processing time varies by the workload and available personnel.  If you have not gotten any updates per the letter you received then you should probably give them a call using the information in the letter.
