Is $395 the amount on your Form 1040, Line 35a?   If so, it looks like the difference is $154.   You appear to be using Online Deluxe, at least that is what is shown below your question.

Did you prepare both a Federal return and a state return, then chose to pay your TurboTax product fees out of the Federal refund?   If so, there is an additional $40 service fee for that payment option ($45 for California filers.)

If the above does not describe your situation, please report back.
