Turbotax adds HSA amount from W2 box12 entry W to my state wage from my W2. It shouldn't because the state wage already has the HSA amount added to my federal wage.

Can you please clarify which state return are you filing?

It is actually correct for TurboTax to add your HSA contribution. When calculating CA AGI on CA 540 form, you use the Federal AGI which is based on the federal W2 wages W2 box 1 instead of  CA W2 wages box 16.
