Married Filing Jointly - Higher Income Question - what counts towards gross income?

I'm attempted to file MFJ and the first question is "Who Had a Higher Income in 2023?"

 

I have a W-2 with a small box 1 value but a high box 16 (state wages) value. Which number do I use to calculate the answer to this question, or does it even matter? Thanks!
