The W2s for one employer should be entered as one W2 in TurboTax unless there were more than one W2 that makes up your total wages for the entire year (or other period of employment if less than a full year) for this employer. This is to eliminate doubling your income on the federal return.
When you enter the W2, you will "add another row" to account for each row of state wages and withholding (image attached).
Now for the state returns the income earned outside each state should be the actual amount earned while residing in each state. If the employer wasn't notified or didn't switch the state at the appropriate time, then you can use your check stubs to determine the correct amount for each state based on residency. Or, if you received approximately the same pay regularly then you could choose to simply prorate it by months (wages/12 months x number of months of residency).
You can go directly to the area to correct your W2 by following these steps. (Delete extras as needed)
1. Sign into your account and select your current return.
2. Select My Account on the top right and then select Tools
3. Select Topic Search (see attached image)
4. Search for W2 and select Go (edit and/or delete extras)
5. Follow the interview to correct the state wages in your W2.
