How to divide our tax refund between spouses (we got married last year)?

My husband and I got married in September.  We keep separate finances but are filing as married filing jointly.  How should we split our tax refund between us?

Last year, my federal tax refund was about $1300; his was only $47.  This year, filing jointly, our federal tax refund is about $1400.  I'm guessing that because of the exemptions we've both claimed on our W-4s (which haven't changed since we got married), most of the refund should be mine, based on my income, but I can't find any information about how to determine what portion of your refund is from which income source.  Any help?
