I just ran into this issue in a brand new install/project, but I'm using the Python plugin for IntelliJ IDEA. It's essentially the same as PyCharm but the project settings are a little different. For me, the project was pointing to the right Python virtual environment but not even built-in modules were being recognized.

It turns out the SDK classpath was empty. I added paths for venv/lib/python3.8 and venv/lib/python3.8/site-packages and the issue was resolved. File->Project Structure and under Platform Settings, click SDKs, select your Python SDK, and make sure the class paths are there.
