You are confused. ( or maybe I am by the way your question is worded) You cannot be getting a refund and owe at the same time on the same tax return. Don't know where you are seeing the $10,038. Or the $747. Where are those figures coming from?
Or do you owe from a previous tax year? If you owe the IRS for back taxes, they will offset your refund and take the money owed out of your 2016 refund. ($10.038 sounds like a pretty hefty refund--did you add an extra zero?)
