TurboTax says I need to fix an error with boxes 15 - 17, because it lists the same state twice. My W2 does list the same state twice with different numbers. What do I do?

I worked for the same employer for the entire year. At the start of 2024, I lived and worked in CA. I changed to a different role (same company) on 2/1/24 that was based in NY, but continued to live in CA until 3/13/24 when I physically relocated to NY. Is this why I have two separate numbers for CA on my W2 (I also have an NY number)? How do I fix this in TurboTax, which thinks there is an error because I have the same state listed twice?

You will have to determine first the total amount that corresponds to CA. If the total amount of CA wages and taxes paid equals the sum of the 2 amounts shown on your W-2, then you can add them and do 1 single entry. 

If unsure, you will need to contact your employer first for confirmation on the total amount that belongs to CA. You will then do one single entry within the software that corresponds to CA.
