State tax filing

It is taxable by both states.

 

If the unemployment compensation is "attributable to employment in Colorado" it is taxable by Colorado, even if you are a non-resident of Colorado when you receive it.

If you received the unemployment compensation as a Michigan resident, it is also taxable by Michigan.  Michigan residents are taxed on all their income regardless of its source, unless specifically exempted by Michigan law.  But you'll be able to claim a credit on your MI tax return for the tax paid to CO on that income, so you won't be double-taxed.
