Without actually looking at the transcript, it's hard to say.
The following is speculation on my part...I haven't seen a transcript in person for over 12 years...but:
You might have filed and the return received 1/26
"Return issued 02/24" I presume you mean refund issued.
Filed date 03/07. IRS uses cycles that end on certain dates. The return might be processed and completed in the cycle ending 03/07??
Credits might be given the Due Date of the return 04/15
Again, without looking at the actual transcript and knowing a bit more, this is my best speculation.
