Yes, you do need to file as a part-year resident according to the Hawaii Department of Revenue if you had any income from anywhere when you lived in Hawaii. You stated you did not. This would include investment income, interest, etc.. No income when you lived there would mean you do not need to file.
A part-year resident is an individual who was a Hawaii resident for part of the year, and who was a nonresident during the other part of the year. This includes those who moved to Hawaii during the year and those who moved away from Hawaii during the year.
A part-year resident must file an Individual Income Tax Return—Nonresident and Part-Year Resident (Form N-15), if required to do so. A part-year resident will be taxed on all income from all sources during the period of residency, and on income from Hawaii sources only during the period of nonresidency.
