State tax filing
To elaborate on @NCperson's answers: the concept here is one of income sourcing. W-2 income is sourced where the work is actually (physically) performed. States that have an income tax - such as CA - can tax non-residents on income sourced to their state. The fact that you live in a state without an income tax does not exempt you from being taxed as a non-resident by other states.
So it's a very good idea for you to keep a year-long log of the days you work in states with an income tax. A log like that will make things MUCH easier for you at tax time next year.
**Answers are correct to the best of my ability but do not constitute tax or legal advice.
