Yes, you are correct. It would be the amount in box 2 of your 2016 w-2. The reason why Iowa needs this information is because they provide a deduction for your Federal taxes on the state return. Thus, when you get a refund, that refund is potentially taxable in Iowa. TurboTax needs this information in order to correctly calculate your Iowa taxable income.
