After you file
IGNORE the Refund-O-Meter ... that may be what is confusing you ...
The only thing you can really do is review the original 1040 against the new 1040 line by line to see where the differences are ... if you can be specific on which lines on which forms are not looking correct then maybe we can help you tonight.
Also review the 1040X ... is something in column B that looks off ?
Column A should have the figures from the original return, Column C the corrected figures and Column B the differences between the other 2 which needs an explanation on page 2 of the form 1040X.
If you completed it correctly you will see an entry on either line 16 OR 18:
On line 16 should be the amount you paid with your original return.
On line 18 should be the amount of your original refund you received.
Then you will see your extra refund on line 22 OR the new balance due you need to pay on line 20.
