Why don't I get credit on my 2016 state tax return, for tax due and paid to another state in 2016?

I get no adjustment on my 2016 CT tax return for a 2016 tax payment of $300 to NY.  I live in CT.   Also file in NY due to a rental property small business activity there.  In April 2016 I paid $300 due for the 2015 NY return. Due to the rental, my 2016 NY tax liability is zero.  Does no tax liability to the other state this year mean that a tax payment to that state doesn't count on the CT return?
