State tax filing

Yes, input your W-2 information just as it is reported on your W-2. If all your wages reported on your W-2 were earned in RI as an MA resident then the RI and MA amounts may be exactly the same.

If you are a permanent resident of MA but earned income in RI, then you will need to file a RI nonresident state income tax return (for your RI source income only - your RI wages). You will also need to file an MA resident state tax return (for all income from all sources including RI wages). You will get a state income tax credit in MA for any RI state income taxes that you paid on your nonresident RI state income tax return.

You will want to work on your nonresident RI state income tax return first. You will then take a tax credit from your nonresident RI state income taxes on your resident MA state income tax return. (Please note that you will only get a tax credit for your RI state income taxes up to the amount of MA state income taxes that would have been paid if the income was earned in MA).  The credit for taxes paid to another state section will be at the end of your residence state's interview process.

Just follow the TurboTax guide when working on your states (remembering to do your nonresident state return first) and TurboTax will do all the calculations and credits to your resident states return
