Tax Topic 151 usually means the IRS is holding your refund for review. This could be due to identity verification, income verification, or they're matching your reported info with what employers/banks submitted. Don't panic - this is pretty common. The best thing to do rn is gather all your docs (W2s, 1099s, etc) before calling the IRS. I'd also recommend running your docs through taxr.ai (https://taxr.ai) - it's helped a lot of people in this situation understand exactly what's triggering the hold and how long the review might take. The AI analyzes your full tax situation and gives specific guidance on resolving these kinds of holds.

Did you figure this out this the same with mine

Mine been like this since March

I got a refund freeze which I got a letter to go in person and identify myself which I did then a 766 code appeared on my transcript now a 150 and it’s been that way since march. Does anyone know how long it takes for the 846?

Patricia, Tax Topic 151 means your refund is under review - this is actually pretty routine and happens to millions of taxpayers each year. The IRS is just verifying some information on your return before releasing your refund. The review process typically takes 45-60 days from when it started, but can sometimes take longer during busy filing season. Since you have reference number 1242, that's specific to your case and will help when you call. Make sure you have all the documents they mentioned ready. The phone number and extension they provided (1-800-829-0582 ext 362) should connect you directly to someone who can help with Topic 151 issues. Don't stress too much - this doesn't necessarily mean there's an error or problem with your return. Just be patient and keep checking your refund status online. If it's been more than 60 days since you filed, definitely give them a call with that reference number!

Patricia, I know how stressful this can be! Tax Topic 151 basically means the IRS is doing a manual review of your return - it could be for income verification, to check if your withholdings match what employers reported, or just a random compliance check. The good news is that most 151 reviews are resolved without any action needed from you. Since you have reference number 1242, definitely use that when you call. I'd recommend calling first thing Monday morning (7am) when the lines open - you'll have a better chance of getting through quickly. Also keep checking the "Where's My Refund" tool on IRS.gov weekly for updates. If you've been waiting more than 8 weeks since filing, they should be able to give you a more specific timeline when you call. Hang in there - these reviews are super common and usually work out just fine! 💪

Hey Patricia! I went through the exact same thing last year and I totally get how nerve-wracking this can be. Tax Topic 151 just means they're doing a routine review - it's not necessarily a bad thing! The IRS reviews millions of returns every year for various reasons like verifying income, checking deductions, or just random quality control. With reference number 1242, you should definitely call that number they gave you. Pro tip: call right at 7am when they open - the wait times are usually much shorter then. Have all your documents ready like they mentioned (your return, W-2s, any notices you've received). The 60-90 day timeframe is pretty standard, though it can feel like forever when you're waiting for your refund. Keep checking "Where's My Refund" on IRS.gov weekly for updates. Most of these reviews get resolved without any additional action needed from you. Don't stress too much - you've got this! Let us know how the call goes when you reach out to them. 👍
