Which is more?  Did you apply part of your federal refund to next year?  Which lines are different?  Maybe something changed after you printed it.  I would download a pdf to compare.

Online version  lists $8,543.00 refund.  Below is a screen shot.   Refund Line 34 and 35a on printed form lists  $6,200.00.  Box 35a is not checked indicating Form 8888 was attached.    Line 36 does not list any amount should be applied to 2025 estimated tax. 

 
Where's my refund?

I suggest you print out the online version of the tax return and compare it to the printed version to see where there is a discrepancy and then investigate further.
