Amended return taxes owed question

I just amended my 2019 return and the total value of the refund/payments changed significantly. 

With my original return, the payment required was 2k+, after the amended return it now says $344. 

 

I had made a payment with my original return but am unsure what the value change means in the upper return/payment box.

 

The amended return still shows a payment to be made but since I already made a much larger payment with my original return, is this an additional payment to be made or should I expect a refund from my overpayment?

    Look on your amended return form 1040X. If there is an amount on line 16 equal to the amount you paid with your original return, then the amount on line 20 is the amount you still owe after making the changes in your amended return.
