State tax filing

Hi Christina, first of all, thank you for your detailed response. I'll provide a few more details below. To answer your question, no, I started working for a different company since I moved to Florida.

Before August, I worked as a remote contractor employed by a staffing agency (where the address is based in GA) to work for a company based in Boston, MA. So while my assignments were for a company based in Boston, I was technically hired by this staffing agency on paper. I'm assuming this is why it says MA on the state tax section of my W2. (Now that I added some explanations, do you believe this is a valid and logical reason for my tax to be withheld from MA?)

Since August, I came to Florida as a contractor-on-site. I started working for a company located in FL (different company from the previous one), but also this time, I was hired by a third party staffing agency (this time based in NY) to work for a company here in Florida. This time, on W2, there was no state tax that seemed to be withheld from me.

Please let me know if this makes more sense now. If so, what would be the tax returns that I need to complete? Once again, thank you very much.
