State tax filing

Your employer should not be withholding CT taxes.  See Example 6 on page 8 of the Connecticut Employers Tax Guide:

Unfortunately, as @Hal_Al said, in order for you to obtain a refund of the mistakenly withheld taxes, you'll have to file a non-resident CT tax return.  On that return you should allocate zero income to CT, but show the CT withholding.  That should result in a full refund.

 

I doubt that you will become a "test case", because CT tax law is very clear that non-residents of CT who never work inside CT are not liable for CT income tax on their work earnings.
