151 is an alternative to tax court. It means they're requesting more information regarding a credit you took. I think its about the EIC. They ought to send a letter in the mail about the exact problem. If you don't respond any refund could be substantially reduced and then you're left with going to tax court for it.
You can represent yourself, get an attorney, CPA or other IRS representation for the 151 request for more information.
