When you file a joint return using TurboTax, all the information flows from the federal to the state return. Each income screen in federal has a spot with each spouse's name so that you can enter the income under the correct spouse. If you miss that and enter it incorrectly under only one spouse, that is a user error. It may not have affected your federal refund, but as you can see, it affected your state. And....you may need to check to see if it also affected the amount of Social Security withheld it affected for only one of you. Entering all of the SS withheld under only one of your names on federal can cause a problem for you if the amount you ascribed to only one person exceeds the maximum for the year. It can cause an incorrect amount of "excess Social Security" to be added to your refund....and when the IRS catches it, they will seek repayment with interest from you.
Look at the amounts you entered for 2022 from box 4 of those W-2's---if those amounts added together for one person are over $9114.00 you will have that problem too, but not until the IRS catches it about a year from now.
You will need to amend your return if it was accepted to correct the way the information was entered for the W-2's. Amend your state too, and that should fix the credit you missed on the state return.
