State Taxes on Social Security

Hi.

I live in the state of Michigan which I understand does NOT tax social security benefits.  I am just beginning to enter my particulars into TurboTax and have only entered spousal W2 forms, which gave a running total of Federal and State taxes owed. Next I entered social security payments received, expecting to see the Federal tax running total increase, but thought that it would not affect the state. However, the state tax went up considerably. Why would this be if my state does not tax social security?
