State tax filing

Yes, you are correct that the W-2 should only show wages for Massachusetts, since you earned your income there.  You will report all your income to Rhode Island, and receive a credit for any tax you paid to MA.  It could be that your employer meant to show that you earned income in MA, but will report it to your resident state of RI. 

 

When you enter it in TurboTax you should enter the MA income and tax withheld line item only.   If you enter both lines, your income will be incorrectly doubled. You could contact your employer to obtain a corrected W-2 for your records, but you can file with the W-2 you have.
