TurboTax 2023 error with Colorado amended return

I needed to amend my 2023 federal return because I missed entering a 1099-B form.  It didn't affect my 2023 result, but there is a carryover loss that will impact my 2024 return.  I completed the amended federal return without issue but noticed a problem on the Colorado return.

 

When going through the Colorado portion in TurboTax 2023 the software indicated that I should get a $1600 refund on the amended return.  I do not believe this is correct.  There should be no change from the original Colorado return to the amended Colorado return.  I believe there is an error in line 37 of the Colorado 104X form.  It appears that it may not be extracting the correct information from the original return.  The overpayment on my original return was $1634 and TurboTax 2023 is computing this as $34 on the amended return.  It is $1600 short and may be extracting this information from the wrong place on the original 2023 return.  I do not want to submit an amended 2023 Colorado return that is not accurate, so please let me know if my observation is correct. Refer to the follow two screenshots.

    Enter the actual amount received on the form. Some boxes are meant to be typed in. This box is one of them.

    The program doesn't know the actual refund you received as forms can be changed by the state or you outside of the program. Great job!
