Get your taxes done using TurboTax
I am sorry. I misunderstood. I thought this was one W2 from one employer that kept paying taxes to Massachusetts.
@DaveF1006 is correct - you need to enter two W2's. The one from your Massachusetts employer gets entered as it is, just as you received it.
The one from your Texas employer is going to get changed. To start, enter everything just as you received it which should show Massachusetts as the state in Box 15, the same amount as in box 1 in box 16 and the tax withheld for Massachusetts in box 17.
Now add another state and put Texas in box 15. Enter the same amount as in box 1 into the box 16 for Texas. Then change the amount for the Massachusetts box 16 to zero.
That makes your W2 match what it should be. None of the income was earned in Massachusetts but Massachusetts withheld the tax.
