As I thought, it shouldn't take 2.5 months to process a very simple electronic return. They pulled the filing to check for identity theft. The system said it was "processing" but it wasn't. Nothing was happening since the mailrooms were closed. It took 4.5 hours, getting hung up on 4 times, and talking to 4 different people before my return was finally released from review. The IRS website is useless. It didn't have any useful info in this situation.
