I have worked for the same company but in two different states and received only one W2. The state I moved to doesn't take state income tax out of my paycheck. Is that why I only received one W2?

you receive only one w-2 because  you only had one employer


if you have taxes taken out for multiple states that would all be shown in the boxes for line 15

since your new state doesn't have an income tax, there would be nothing on line 15



that line should show the state, state wages and state withholding.   

hopefully the states wages only reflect those paid while a resident of the first state.

No, amount on line 15 is total for entire year.  I have the information to separate but do I enter in Turbptax?

You should enter your W-2 from the way it is on paper. If you have two state lines, enter them as two lines. If you only have one, just enter the one. 

 

When you do your state returns you will need to do a part year return for each state. In the state return, you will be asked to separate your income from each state.
