State tax filing

Not exactly.  The actual Massachusetts rule is this:

If you're a nonresident with an annual Massachusetts gross income of more than either $8,000 or the prorated personal exemption, whichever is less, you must file a Massachusetts tax return.

ALL your income is taxable by CT, including your earnings from MA.  If you have to file an MA return, you'll be able to take a credit on your CT return for any taxes paid to MA.
