We can tell you how to speak to someone at the IRS, and if necessary, the IRS Taxpayer Advocate Service. All of your situation is not yet clear, however. It sounds like there is more to your story. What specifically does "I was audit" (sic) mean, and for what tax year?

Without any explanation, that's too general for anyone to comment on. But ultimately only the IRS knows what all they are doing with your return and any reason for the delay.

If you received paperwork/letters from the IRS about an audit, then there may be a phone number on the IRS letters to use to contact them for more info. If so, I'd try that one first.

Otherwise, here's how to reach a live IRS tax agent in general, and I'll also tell you lower down how to reach the IRS Taxpayer Advocate Service, if needed. Due to the Coronavirus, some of the IRS call centers had been closed the last few weeks, some are operating with reduced personnel, and others are gradually opening back up. Users have been reporting that they are finally now reaching someone.

IRS: 800-829-1040 (7AM-7 PM local time) Monday-Friday

When calling the IRS do not choose the first choice re: "Refund", or it will send you to an automated phone line.

First choose your language. Then listen to each menu before making the selection.
Then press 2 for "personal income tax".
Then press 1 for "form, tax history, or payment".
Then press 3 "for all other questions."
Then press 2 "for all other questions."
It may then ask for your SSN, but do not enter it. Just wait. If it asks for SSN a second time, still do not enter it.
Then it will get "tired", and you'll get another menu. Choose 2 for "personal".
Then in the next menu choose 4 for "all other inquiries", and it should transfer you to an agent but expect a long wait.
I usually use a speakerphone so I can work on something else while waiting.

If you have no luck reaching the IRS, or don't get good info, you can try contacting the IRS Taxpayer Advocate Service for your area. They are especially prone to help if you have an economic hardship, or if there have been continued delays with lack of info from the IRS. At the following IRS website, find the USA map and click on your state, and it will give you the number of your IRS Taxpayer Advocate. If the Taxpayer Advocate can't/won't help you, ask them to transfer you to an an IRS agent. A couple of users reported that at least for them, that was a backdoor route to the IRS.
