So can we assume correctly that this is for a tax year 2022 return that you filed in 2023?

Two years is indeed a long time to be that patient.  Is there more to the story?  Have you checked on it previously?   In those 2 years have you had conversations with the IRS and/or the Taxpayer Advocate Service?  

What does the IRS "Where's My Refund" tool show when you choose tax year 2022?

Does that tool show if your 2022 Federal refund was ever sent by the IRS?

If you have or have not done so, you have to contact the IRS.

Expect long hold times at this time.

571 means your hold was released.

A paper check sent to you may have been lost in the mail.

Hi to answer your questions the reason for the hold I was told was because I filed a Electronic return and a paper return the year of 2022/2023. Also I've spoke with the irs on multiple times and they all say the same thing that's it's processing I'll have to wait.

I check where's my refund daily it only says refund received. I also check my tax records not has changed.

I don't know if you have tried to enlist the IRS Taxpayer Advocate Service, so that's what I would try, and if that's unsuccessful, you could contact your US Congressman's local office to see if they can help you.  

IRS Taxpayer Advocate Service

https://www.irs.gov/taxpayer-advocate

Each state has at least one office.  You can look yours up here and phone them:

https://www.taxpayeradvocate.irs.gov/contact-us/#FindlocalTAS

There's also a national office, whose contact info should be at the first link above.

They are especially prone to help if there has been an economic hardship, but they are also prone to help if you stress the length of time, and that you have already spoken to the IRS on multiple occasions.
