Not sure what you mean by "my approved 2022 return that was never cashed over." What does that mean (to you) ? Only the IRS approves of refunds---TurboTax only tells you if an e-file was accepted. Accepted and approved are different things. "never cashed over?" Do you mean you did not receive your refund?
Did you e-file? Did you click a big orange button that said “Transmit my returns now?”
When you e-file your federal return you will receive two emails from TurboTax. The first one will say that your return was submitted. The second email will tell you if your federal return was accepted or rejected. If you e-filed a state return, there will be a third email to tell you if the state accepted or rejected your state return.
First, check your e-file status to see if your return was accepted:

If the IRS accepted it, what does it say here?

Or does your account say “Ready to Mail?” Or “Rejected?” Or “Printed?”
Note: If it says “Rejected,” “Ready to Mail” or “Printed” that means YOU have to mail it yourself. TurboTax does not mail your tax return for you.
If you realize now that your return was not e-filed successfully, then you will need to file it by mail. E-filing is permanently closed for past year returns. You will need to print the return, sign and date it in ink, and mail it in.
You have to access your own account and/or print it for yourself using exactly the same account and user ID that you used when you prepared the return.
