Why is this already filled out?

I cleared everything a few times already. Every time that I start from them beginning, it already has information for Refunds received for state/local tax returns. It has an amount of $53. When I click edit, it says total refund received in 2023 and it says $53. Then it says total of all your payments withholding and it has a different amount. Underneath that, it says tax year of refund (usually 2022) and it says 2022. On the top it says Tell us about your refund. Under that it says if you received more than one refund, we'll help you enter them at one time. Why does it say $53 for 2023 if I haven't filed my taxes for 2023 yet? Total of your payments withholding says a different amount. Where is all of this information even coming from? Why does it mention 2022? I did my taxes with turbo tax. How can I find out if the information already there is even accurate? I don't see $53 for 2023. I have different amounts on the top left in green that say how much I will get from federal and state but it's not the amount mentioned here.

This is carrying over from your 2022 return. Your 2022 return showed you would get a $53 state refund. That refund was received in 2023. You likely have a 1099-G from your state that shows this amount as well.
