2023 Return Filed in February but Transcript Shows

Filed my taxes in February and got verified on March 2nd. Been checking WMR and transcripts everyday but literally zero movement. I just pulled my transcript today (04-22-2023) and I'm even more concerned now. My account transcript for Tax Period Dec. 31, 2022 shows: - Account Balance: $0.00 - Accrued Interest: $0.00 (As Of: May 03, 2023) - Accrued Penalty: $0.00 (As Of: May 03, 2023) - Account Balance Plus Accruals: $0.00 The part that's freaking me out is under "TRANSACTIONS" it literally says "No tax return filed" - but I definitely filed in February! I have confirmation from my tax software. My filing status is Single and I don't even see my Adjusted Gross Income or Taxable Income showing up. It just says "RETURN NOT PRESENT FOR THIS ACCOUNT." I checked my Tracking Number (different than what's on the transcript) and I'm definitely verified as of March 2nd. The transcript even shows "Request Date: 04-20-2023" and "Response Date: 04-20-2023" but nothing about my actual return. I was really counting on this refund money soon. Has anyone else been stuck in verification limbo like this where your transcript shows "No tax return filed" even though you definitely filed months ago? Should I call the IRS about this? What's the next step when your transcript shows your return isn't even in their system?
