TurboTax shows the total refund which adjust as you enter information. Without the Recovery Rebate Credit your refund would have been $178 but because of the Recovery Rebate Credit your total refund is now $1,378. As you have said line 30 shows the credit of $1,200 therefore your other refund is $178.

Your refund will depend on what was withheld throughout the year. Use this TurboTax Tax Bracket Estimator and compare this estimated tax with Box 2 on each of  your W-2s. You should expect to have about an extra $178 from the total of both W-2 Box2's.

 

Otherwise, yes, you may want to revisit your return and see whether an update is required.
