Federal filing for another state

I am currently completing the federal taxes for a student that has W2s for Texas and Louisiana.  The federal portion for Texas has been completed(Texas W2s only).  Since I've filled out the State Taxes Tab portion in TurboTax for Louisiana while completing the federal taxes for Texas, Will another federal form for Louisiana need to be completed for the W2 she received from the job she worked there while in school(Louisiana)?  Or can the Louisiana W2 be added to the other Texas W2s?

 

I hope this question makes sense.

 

Thanks in advance for your assistance!

The Louisiana W2 must  be "added" to the other (Texas) W2s.  

 

A person only files one federal return and includes all her income.

 

Enter each W-2 separately in TurboTax.  Do not actually  add the numbers together and make one entry.
