I have 2 W-2's that have wages entered for more than one state. The program transfered all state wages reported in box 16 of your W-2's to line 3 of Massachusetts Form 1. Since it did this it doubled my state wages. Do I do a wage adjustment and deduct 1 set of wages or do I keep it how it is? (salary $70k so showing $140k and taxing me on that amount, not my true wages)

Only one W2 should be entered in TurboTax for the same employer unless there really is two W2s where the combined amount is your total wage. Based on your information in the question you only made $70k for this employer.
In TurboTax enter one W2 but when you get to the State tax area fill in the information for each state as shown in the screenshot attached. (Edit if you have already entered it, delete the second W2.)
This should work out the calculations for you. Click here for MA rules on credit for taxes paid to another state.
