I received a W2 with 2 CA filing section. How do I enter this into TurboTax?
First W2:
Boxes 1-6 completed
Box 12-14 completed
Box 15 says TOTAL STATE
Box 16 $xxx,xxx filled in
Box 17 $xx,xxx filled in
Second page of W2:
Boxes 1-6 identical to first
Boxes 12-14 blank
Box 15 identical state ID
Box 16 $x,xxx filled in, much smaller than first
Box 17 blank
if I add the two box 16s together, they are more than federal wage box.

Usually the amount showing on the first W-2 for "Total State" will be the total amount for all the state wages. When this happens you will probably receive a few other copies of W-2 with Box 16 having different amounts (Adding the amounts from the different states should equal the amount from the first W-2).
If you are missing a page, or do not see a 3rd-4th W-2 with the difference amount (First W-2 Box 16 - Second W-2 Box 16) verify with your employer that they have provided all corresponding information.
This is how you will enter the W-2 Information after verifying your documents:
*** If you cannot locate the missing information you can just enter the first W-2 and enter "Total State" for box 15 (if you this, you will not enter the 2nd W-2)
The weird thing is that they are both the same state. So should I be adding them?
Do the two Box 16 amounts add up to the Box 1 amount?
more. The first box itself is more than box 1.
Then I would suggest that you ask your employer's payroll department for an explanation.
