The last time I saw this (quite recently), the taxpayer entering the W-2s accidentally marked both of them as belonging to the same person.
Note that TurboTax does not key off the person's name on the W-2, but a small checkbox at the top of the W-2 data entry screen, where it says, "This W-2 belongs to: (name) or (name)". This is easy to miss.
Go back and make sure that you indicated that the W-2s belong to two different people.
