No one else can see your screen, your tax return or your account.   You have to use the do-it-youself approach and look for yourself.   What does it say in your account?   What does it say on your Form 1040?   If you are getting a federal refund, it will be shown on line 35a.   If you owe federal tax to the IRS, it will be on line 37, and you are not getting a refund.
