State tax filing

I am assuming when you say you are a visiting scholar, you mean you are from a foreign country? In order to file using TurboTax, if you are not a US Citizen, then you would need to either meet the Substantial Presence Test or the Green card Test  If you do not meet these tests, then you would be a non-resident alien and would not be able to file using TurboTax as TurboTax only supports form 1040, not 1040NR which is what a non-resident alien must file.  You can file a 1040NR using Sprintax.com.  They would also be able to advise you on how to file in NY. 

 

If you are filing as a US Resident, was this like AirBnB or hotel rooms, then you would answer no, since you moved from room to room and did not actually establish a place of residency and were only there for 110 days.
