Turbotax is asking me to review my state tax refunds from 2022 but i am pretty sure i got that money already. why are they asking about them?

the states in question are iowa (where i work) and nebraska (where i live) if that makes a difference

A State Tax Refund is taxable if you itemized deductions on that prior year's federal return and took a deduction for state income taxes instead of the sale tax. You got a deduction benefit for it so now you have to include it as income. If you took the standard deduction it is not taxable and you don't need to report it.
