What are the two states? It is possible for State wages (even in a single state) to be higher than Federal wages because of the difference in how some employee benefit plans are treated.

State tax filing
It may also only mean that there was double withholding on the overlapping amount. That is, you employer withheld state tax, for both states, on a portion of the box 1 amount. This may require a workaround in TurboTax.
Sometimes you have to ask your employer what it means.
