Ideally, you would contact the issuer, the issuer would correct and the wrong state would never be the wiser.
Many times, the issuer will not or does not correct the form. It is possible that the wrong information on the IRS form 1099-NEC may have already transmitted to the state.
Retain a record in your paper files that back up your income tax return and demonstrate that the state has no claim on the income.
Perhaps you have a record of your move from the old state to your new home state. Perhaps your sales records clearly had no connection with the wrong state.
Retain the records should a tax authority contact you at a later time.
