You may have New York wages listed on your W-2 form, as evidenced by the abbreviation "NY" in box 15 and an amount on that row in box 16. If so, you will need to get the W-2 corrected as New York will assume the wages were earned there as that is how they are reported. You need to enter the W-2 as it is stated in TurboTax.
New York taxes all of your income earned in and out of their state. Then, they multiply the tax by a factor of your in-state income divided by your total income. If your in-state income was $0, then the factor would also be $0, and you should'nt have ended up owing taxes. If your W-2 form is correct, you have to go back through the New York return and make sure you answered the income allocation questions properly.
