My federal tax return is only showing my income for my first job in 2022, but even though I filled out my w2 for my second job on turbo tax, the refund wasn't changed

My first job only last like 2 months in 2022 so I'm only getting back 25 but my second job I was employed since March but the refund from my second job isn't showing in the amount due

You can see a copy of what TT sees as your W-2's by pressing Ctrl-1 to get to the forms display. Compare the forms in TT with your printed W-2's to make sure that all the information was properly saved in the W-2's. If everything matches, you may be in the enviable position of having figured out your withholding on your second job so that it exactly matches the taxes due on your income from the second job.

You entered more income so the tax liability went up and the withholding on the second W2 wasn't enough to give you more refund.  You don't get a refund from each job.  Usually more income = more tax = less refund.

Yes that is common. It just looks that way because you put them in as separate W2s and saw the tax due change in between them. If it was all on one W2 you would get the same result. And each job was withholding like it was your only job.  

Because you only get one standard deduction no matter how many W2s you enter. Turbo Tax starts out by giving you the Standard Deduction. You entered more income when you entered the second W2 but you didn’t enter more deductions. And each job only withheld taxes like it was our only job for the year. You might want to adjust your withholding. Also as you add more income you might not be getting as many credits as before like the EIC credit.
