I made unnecessary state extension payments in 2023 for 2022, resulting in refunds. Shouldn't those refunds be netted against the extension payments?

I made extension payments in 2023 for 2022 state taxes. The payments ended up being unnecessary, resulting in refunds for which 1099Gs were issued. I have entered in the 1099G amounts, as well as the extension payment amounts. On the state and local income tax refund worksheet, part I, column g, turbotax is allocating only a very small portion of the refund against the column d amounts. This is automatically calculated by TT and not something it allows me to override--and it doesn't show how the number is calculated. Shouldn't I be able to net the entire amount of my refunds against the extension payments? (It matters because both last year and this year my deductions exceeded the $10K SALT limitation, and not netting out the refund against the extension payments results in reporting additional income for the refunds received during 2023, while generating additional deductions that I cannot use in 2023.
