We cannot know what screens you were seeing when you saw a refund amount. The "refund monitor" on your screen shows you two separate amounts----Federal Refund or Tas Due and below that, State Tax Refund or Tax due. And......line 35a of your Form 1040 shows your federal refund. Your state form will also show your state refund but we do not which state you are in and all the forms are different, so we cannot point to a line number on the state form to look at.
Sometimes people get very confused by a "summary" that TurboTax shows them which combines the federal refund and state refund. That might be what you looked, making you think you are getting a bigger refund than you saw earlier. That "summary" just added both refunds together. But you receive your refunds at different times from different entities---the IRS and the state.
