Got an email confirmation from Turbotax but IRS says I didn't file taxes

I file my taxes with Turbotax and got a confirmation email that my return was accepted on April 18th 2022. The IRS is NOW holding my 2025 refund stating I never filed my 2022 taxes. No problem, I'll fire up my old turbotax 2022 and get confirmation that I filed. Guess what? Turbotax 2022 says "You haven't e-filed your return yet."

What the actual heck. Help

Well, I can only blame myself. Looks like I didn't file.

Did you only get the first email? When you efile you get back 2 emails. The first email only confirms the transmission. The second email says if the IRS (or state) Accepted or Rejected your efile. Check back though your emails and spam/junk folder.

You will have to print and mail it now. Did you have a refund and never noticed you didn't get it? Or did you have a Tax Due? Did you pay it?
