Why does it say that I got 0 for state funds and at first 391 and when amending it said something about 870 , will I still be getting a refund of 391

Yes, when you file a return and then amend it, you will get different results at different points in the process. 

 

If your original return shows a refund, you will still get that refund.

 

When you start your amended return, the refund goes to zero. This is based on the idea that the first return was processed and the refund was received, so now you are even with the IRS. 

 

If you see a refund after you complete your amended return, you will get that as a separate payment. If you see a balance due, your have to pay back that amount. 

So I still get my state refund and have to payback 

Make sure you are using these guidelines when amending. Do not amend until your first return is completely processed. So yes, you will get your state refund and have to pay it back with your amendment.
