If I understand this correctly you have money you transferred to your Apple Account balance and now want to have the remaining $8 returned to your cash app.


Normally once funds are in Apple Account balance the only way to get them out again is to spend them.


From: Check your Apple ID balance - Check your Apple Account balance - Apple Support -->

"About unused Apple ID balance

You can't redeem or return Apple Gift Cards, App Store & iTunes Gift Cards, or unused Apple ID balance for cash, except as required by law."


Read the support article for more details.
