Did you do the work in another state? Or did you do the job in your resident state (the employer is located out of state)? If you physically went to another state and did work in that state, then you need to file a nonresident tax return for the state you did the work in. Your resident state taxes all of your income but will usually give you credit for any tax paid to another state. That link has instructions if you need to file a nonresident return.
But if you did the work in your resident state, you do not need to file a nonresident return. What matters is where you did the work, not where your employer is located.
W-2 for an out-of-state employer.
