How can we find our extension from last year that the IRS says they don't have?

they are trying to charge a fee for not filing an extension but we did file one

The extension is form 4868. It should be part of your tax return. In addition, if you made a payment by April 15th online, you would have marked it as part of your extension. Check your records for payments as well. The payment counts as an extension request if you don't have the 4868 and properly marked the payment.
