Box 17 on your W-2 form reports your state income tax withheld from your pay. You should have a state abbreviation in box 15 for each state you worked in. You should have then two rows with entries, once below the other from what you describe. You would enter each row separately in TurboTax.

 

The state tax may be deductible on your federal tax return and you may need to file a state tax return for each state listed on your W-2 form.
