Unfortunately, the IRS offices closed in early March and have only recently begun to reopen.
There was no one at the IRS offices to process the form that you submitted, resulting in the delay. The 6-8 week time frame referenced in the letter refers to normal conditions. The IRS is processing items previously submitted in the order received but they have not given any time frame for processing.
