if the backlog is dropping 400,000 per week and let's assume 50,000 new ones appear each week, that means they are processing 450,000 per week. if someone submited a paper return today, then it will take 17.5 weeks (7.9 million divided by .45mm to get to the front of the line - that takes until mid- December.... that is only a 4ish month wait.
no real progress on error corrections,though
