After you file
The general procedure is the file a nonresident return and change your income to $0 if your employer withheld tax for a state where you did not live or work.
States have different procedures. File by mail because your return will not match your W-2. Send your W-2 showing the other state’s income and tax withheld.
Generally, you will also need to attach a statement (and sometimes a letter from your employer) saying you should not have had tax withheld. It’s also a good idea to include a copy of your home state return showing you reported all your income.
If you tell us what state you live in and what state had the wrong withholding we can be more specific.
