Sorry the IRS probably has not opened your return yet. They are very behind. The IRS has limited staff due to Covid-19. They didn't start opening the mail until June that's been stacking up. Back in March the IRS closed their processing centers and stopped processing mailed tax returns. An IRS spokesperson recently said that they have about 11 million pieces of unopened mail. The IRS says....."We’re experiencing delays in processing paper tax returns due to limited staffing. If you already filed a paper return, we will process it in the order we received it." So it may take longer if you mailed in June or later. So you have to keep waiting.

You won't get any correspondence from the IRS about your tax return unless there is a problem with it. Otherwise, the only mail you will get from the IRS is a check for your refund, if you requested to have it sent by mail.
For the FAFSA use the information on your copy of the tax return that you filed. You don't need anything from the IRS. You should always save a copy of your tax return when you file it, either on your computer or on paper. But if you don't have a copy, see the following FAQ.
