Okay, this is confusing. When I do the following, I get a result of 1.
SELECT IDENT_SEED('tablename')
When I run this on the same table
DBCC CHECKIDENT (tablename, NORESEED)
I get the correct answer which is the following:
"Checking identity information: current identity value '7290151', current column value '7290150'.
DBCC execution completed. If DBCC printed error messages, contact your system administrator."
Why doesn't the IDENT_SEED work for me? Can anyone see what I am doing wrong?

Well wasn't the original seed value 1?
IDENT_SEED
https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-CA/library/ms189834.aspx
Returns the original seed value (returned as numeric(@@MAXPRECISION,0)) that was specified when an identity column in a table or a view was created.
DBCC CHECKIDENT
https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms176057.aspx
Checks the current identity value for the specified table in SQL Server 2016 and, if it is needed, changes the identity value.

It looks like you need
SELECT IDENT_CURRENT('dbo.tablename')
rather than IDENT_SEED.
