The local tax refund may be allocated by the percentage of local income to total income for each spouse. Please ensure that the total of these allocations equal the total local tax refund. 

Example:

Spouse 1 Income: 50,000

Spouse 2 Income: 70,000

Total Income: 120,000

Spouse 1 : 41.7% (50,000 / 120,000) allocation

Spouse 2: 58.3% (70,000 / 120,000) allocation

Thank you so much for your kind response! I am a little confuse, because in the question they are not asking for percentage, as the previous years and there is not explanation on Turbotax, that provide help with this question.

Best regards!

You could just indicate that the State Tax Refund amount is equally split between the two of you.
