Yes, that's exactly what you do with regard to the state income (but not the withholdings) on the W2. The W2 as prepared by the employer is often incorrect. A common example: an employee moves from one state to another, but the employer continues to withhold for the "old" state because of bookkeeping delays, etc. Your tax return should reflect the actual facts of your situation. The TurboTax program will allow you to "allocate" income to the proper state.
Since the withholdings reported in Box 17 of the W2 reflect the amount the employer actually withheld, do not edit that amount. It is Box 16 that may be incorrect.
@rjs 's original answer is correct.
