Does Negative $8,191 IRS Transcript Balance Mean Refund Despite $2,027 Self-Employment Tax? (Head of Household with $17,448 AGI)

Looking at my transcript and I'm confused about what I'm seeing. The account balance shows -$8,191.00 but I see self employment tax of $2,027.00. I'm trying to figure out if I'm owed money or if I owe the IRS. Here's what my transcript shows: ACCOUNT BALANCE: -$8,191.00 ACCRUED INTEREST: $0.00 AS OF: Feb. 10, 2025 ACCRUED PENALTY: $0.00 AS OF: Feb. 10, 2025 ACCOUNT BALANCE PLUS ACCRUALS (this is not a payoff amount): -$8,191.00 ** INFORMATION FROM THE RETURN OR AS ADJUSTED ** EXEMPTIONS: 05 FILING STATUS: Head of Household ADJUSTED GROSS INCOME: $17,448.00 TAXABLE INCOME: $0.00 TAX PER RETURN: $2,027.00 SE TAXABLE INCOME TAXPAYER: $13,246.00 SE TAXABLE INCOME SPOUSE: $0.00 TOTAL SELF EMPLOYMENT TAX: $2,027.00 RETURN DUE DATE OR RETURN RECEIVED DATE (WHICHEVER IS LATER): Apr. 15, 2025 PROCESSING DATE: Feb. 17, 2025 TRANSACTIONS: CODE | EXPLANATION OF TRANSACTION | CYCLE | DATE | AMOUNT 150 | Tax return filed | 20250503 | 02-17-2025 | $2,027.00 70221-415-00521-5 806 | W-2 or 1099 withholding | 04-15-2025 | -$146.00 766 | Credit to your account | 04-15-2025 | -$2,242.00 I filed as Head of Household with 5 exemptions, and my adjusted gross income was $17,448.00 with taxable income of $0.00. I see my self-employment taxable income shows as $13,246.00 for me (none for spouse), resulting in a total self-employment tax of $2,027.00. Looking at the transactions section, there was a tax return filed for $2,027.00, W-2 or 1099 withholding of -$146.00, and a credit to my account of -$2,242.00. The account balance plus accruals shows -$8,191.00 (as of Feb. 10, 2025), with $0.00 in accrued interest and penalties. Can someone help me understand if I owe money or if I'm getting a refund? Does the negative balance mean I'm getting money back? And if so, why is it so much higher than what appears to be my withholding plus credits? I'm really confused by these numbers and what they all mean together.

What Do IRS Codes 570/971 On Same Date (02-17-2025) Mean For My Refund? Will This Delay Processing?

Just checked my transcript and I'm not sure what to make of it. Here's exactly what I'm seeing on my 2024 tax transcript for my 1040 return: 570 Additional account action pending 02-18-2025 $0.00 971 Notice issued 02-18-2025 $0.00 This Product Contains Sensitive Taxpayer Data I've been searching online and reading different forums about these codes, and I'm getting more confused by the minute lol. Some people say it means there's a hold on my refund, others say it's just part of normal processing. Anyone know what this specific combination of codes usually means, especially when they have the same date and both show $0.00 amounts? I'm particularly concerned about the "Additional account action pending" part and why there's a notice being issued on the exact same day. Should I be worried that something is wrong with my return? Is this going to delay my refund? I was really counting on getting it soon. Has anyone else had these exact codes show up on their transcript this year? What happened in your case?
