I received a federal and state refund on my 2018 tax returns. This refunds were paid to me. I am currently filing my 2019 return, and TurboTax is adding the 2018 refund as a credit. This should not be the case, but I cannot figure out how to modify the refund amount.

Try this:

Go to Deductions & Credits
Scroll down to the subheading "Estimates and other taxes paid"
Click on Start for "Other Income Taxes"
Look for the subheading "2018 Refund applied to 2019"
Choose federal or state (whichever the refund was for)
If there is a value for the refund carried over, enter the number zero to zero it out - in fact, just enter a zero anyway for your situation

Let me know if this works for you, since I do not have a test case for this.
