Enter the W-2 in the Federal section as it is shown on your form.
If you are filing a Nonresident California return, you can make the appropriate allocation of wages between states in the California interview when you get to the Nonresident Adjustments section. TurboTax will ask, "How much of the $xxx from federal Forms W-2 did you earn in California?" Enter the amount attributable to California in the box provided. Another screen will come up asking if any other income items need to have amounts allocated to California.
When you have multiple state returns, you should usually enter the earlier part-year resident or nonresident state return first, then enter the state where you resided at the end of the year, in order to get the correct results. The state where you are currently a resident may be able to give you a credit for taxes you paid to other states. There are some exceptions; for example, Arizona credits California residents for taxes expected to be paid to California on Arizona income.
Several states also have reciprocal agreements. See here for more information.
