"Essentially, the seignorage income is returned to the US Treasury."

There are no transactions on record to support that contention. Where did you get that idea?

There are - it's just that there's no line item that says "seignorage income" on a balance sheet somewhere. The income is returned in the form of transactions between the Federal Reserve open market operations with the Treasury and the Fed's member banks.
