Form 8879 line 4 refund amount is not the same as line 22 on 1040x

Why does the form 8879 show $338 and Amended 1040x refund amount is $386.

$386 should be correct as the original return they paid $48, so it's added back to produce the $386 refund, but why form 8879 shows different amount when this is also what the client is signing and authorizing?

On the home base, efile center, it also shows the amount of refund $338, i think it's wrong and should be $386 exactly what the 1040x line 21/22 indicates. Any thoughts?

so 338 is the difference between the original and the amended?

they already got the 48 and they get 338 more on the amended for a total refund of 386.
