What does Box 12 code "w" on my w2 mean? And why am I losing money on both my state and federal return when I enter in the amount paid?

When I enter in just over $4,000 in box 12 code W, my federal return and state returns go down substantially (Federal decreases $1,570 and State decreases $204).  Why do the refunds decrease?

Thanks for any help that you can provide.
