why I should pay tax on state CA refund

Hi,

I received two refunds in 2023 from CA state -- one for 2023 taxes and second for amended 2022 taxes.

When I am filing in the turbotax, I was being taxes on this refund. I don't understand why I am being taxed on a refund? I never remember paying taxes on refund. Has something changed in the turbotax software?
