@jennyr63 Unless we are misunderstanding your situation, your issue seems related to whether or not you qualify (or from which state you qualify) to receive unemployment insurance compensation. Unfortunately, that situation is not resolved through the tax return. You will need to resolve that issue with either Florida's or New York's unemployment department.
This website can assist you for NY: NY Unemployment Assistance. Part of the issue is not just whether or not you paid NY Tax on the income, but whether the company contributed to NY Unemployment. The same is true with Florida.
Therefore, you may want to contact your [former] employer. They may be able to assist. Otherwise, it's not a question that we can assist with in this forum. Apologies.
