If you were entering all of the income from both of your W-2's under only one of your names, then it probably calculated that you had paid excess Social Security, and inflated your refund. You went back and corrected it to list the income under your individual names the way it should have been, so the refund dropped back to the right amount.
If you enter it all under only one name, you get "excess Social Security " refunded, and about a year later you get a nasty letter from the IRS demanding money back. Good thing you caught your error and fixed it in time.
