It is too soon for the IRS to "audit" a 2019 tax return--so you received a letter about something else. Not every letter from the IRS is an "audit." It sounds like they requested additional information from you that you were able to fax to them.
The IRS is backlogged and everything is taking longer than normal to be processed.
Only the IRS knows when your return will be processed and when they will release your refund.
To call the IRS:IRS: 800-829-1040 hours 7 AM - 7 PM local time Mon-Fri

Then press 2 "for all other questions." It should then transfer you to an agent.
