Unfortunately, anything requiring manual processing at the IRS (such as your fax) is experiencing considerable delays at this time due to extreme staffing shortages as well as many department closures at the IRS.
There is not likely to be any work done on your return until the IRS resumes normal operations, and we do not know when that may be.
I wish that I had better news for you or could offer a solution, but there isn't one at this time.
You do want to be sure that your fax went through, though. If you do not have a fax confirmation sheet that shows the transmittal was successful, I suggest mailing a copy of the same document in. Many IRS fax lines have been turned off during this pause in operations.
