New York Income despite not working in New York

Hello,

 

I received my W2, and it shows almost the same income for both Colorado (where I've lived for all of 2020) and New York (where I received unemployment from, since I lived there in 2019, but I did not work there in 2020). I work at Starbucks, which is based in Seattle. I did not make nearly as much on 2 months of NY unemployment as I did for almost a full year of work in Colorado. Why is NY on my Starbucks W2 and is costing me $247 in NY taxes?
