Take a closer look at your state information to double check whether you are getting a refund or a balance due.

If it is a balance due, then the screen you are seeing is just combining your Federal amount and your state amount and saying that overall, you are getting a refund of $378 ($386 - $8).

Your Federal refund amount did not change, it will still be $386.
