The IRS has not processed any paper filed tax returns for months due to the pandemic. They have only just recently started to process those tax returns on an as received basis.

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.
Do not file a second tax return or contact the IRS about the status of your return.
