Tax Year Prior to 2020: Is this true about topic 152?
got tax topic 152 last year, and also got it this year. I was stunned! 2 years in a row. While you might read all types of answers on this, that it is normal....blah, blah, blah (it is not normal). Basically your return has been pulled and is under manual review for some reason. Either randomly, or because the CADE II system, (Customer Account Data Engine) that process IRS tax returns, triggered on your return for some reason. This could be because of the percentage of itemized deductions you took as compared to your income, mine was due to charitable contributions last year. I had to provide support of those contributions, It then took 2 months to process my return. I NEVER received a letter. I called IRS after my WMR kept saying TT 152 and my bars had disappeared. I’m wondering how many years it would’ve taken the IRS to contact ME, had I not been aggressive enough to contact them. Anyway, I took no charitable contributions this year, and still my bars disappeared and went to TT 152 yesterday. I’m depressed about this, as I had expected a quick refund, now I know I am looking at a minimum of 8 more weeks (based on last year).

Yes it does. I am a retired IRS employee. Tax Topic 152 usually means you must verify your identity. In fact, even as an IRS employee, I received Tax Topic 152 several years ago. If you wait for the IRS to send a letter it could be months. My suggestion is be proactive and continuously call the IRS until you get through and verify your identify. This verify identity usually occurs if you are using a different mailing address than you did the prior year, if you've had a name change, or if you have changed filing status (i.e. going from single to married or vice versa). This is not a bad thing (Tax Topic 152) but it DOES require some sort of action on your part to verify your identity.

You can contact the IRS at 1-800-829-1040 7 am to 7 pm. The wait time is a little long so you might want to call first thing in the morning.

No, nothing to worry about. Tax Topic 152 means you're getting a tax refund. That's it. You should not expect your refund in anything less than 21 days according to the IRS.
