State tax filing

"Yes, if you owe taxes in a nonresident state, your resident state will give you a credit for the lower state tax on the same income."

 

If you never physically worked in New York, then you don't "owe taxes in a non-resident state".  Hence you don't get a credit; you get a refund.
