Have you not seen the news lately - NBC, CBS, ABC? They have been reporting that millions of taxpayer are experiencing long delays regardless of who they filed with due to IRS short staffing and a huge backlog of unprocessed tax returns - even some 2019 tax returns have not been processed.
And the IRS says:

We're open and processing mail, tax returns, payments, refunds and correspondence. However, COVID-19 continues to cause delays in some of our services. Our service delays include:
- Live phone support
- Processing tax returns filed on paper
- Answering mail from taxpayers
- Reviewing tax returns, even for returns filed electronically
