TL;DR From the period that this data exists, 2011 to 2022 the FED was making a profit on their operations in each period. (Blue line graph)

From the period of 2022 to the present they are operating at a loss in each period. (Red line graph)

In the graphic that shows both the profit as a flow and the loss is a stock amount. So when the Fed earns a profit they give it to the US Treasury, when they operate at a loss they barrow from themselves to pay off before they would return profit to the US treasury.
