State tax filing

It's making more sense after I looked it over again. I dug up my previous year's returns and I did not realize the tax return was called 1040, so thats on me. What I did figure out is that the number it is saying I made in Colorado, the additional income, might be from a grant. I went to community college in NM last year and got a grant, which when I looked at my 1098T and added that number to the number given to me for the missing Federal income, it adds up. My question is now, why is it trying to say its CO and not NM? I filed the 1098T for this year on the same return, put in all the relevant information. Do I need to do a 1099-MISC for the left over grant money that wasn't used? I do not recall doing that last year, I might have... My old return from last year does line up with what it is asking of me in line 1, 2a and 8 so I believe I am on the right track.
