My wife was talking to an accountant, and casually remarked that the IRS was really slow, as we had not yet received our tax check for 2020. The accountant said that they (the IRS) shredded hundreds of thousands of returns, preferring to work with digital returns only. Has anybody else not heard back from the IRS for 2020? Theoretically, if they shredded my return, then could then cite me for failure to pay, although I have photographs of all forms and mail receipts.

I sent my deceased mom's 2020 return in in March of 2021. In November 2021 I received a letter sayin I forgot to include a copy of letters testimentary and a IRS form releasing her return to me. I didn't forget originally, but resent in Nov 21. In March 22 I received a letter asking for the same forms plus a death certificate which was also included in the original return. Again, I sent them. 2 weeks ago I received a letter telling me they needed an additional 60 days to complete. That pushes it out to July 2022.
Shameful behavior in light of your loss. They should try harder.
