I'm not sure of your question, but if you mean you worked in one state (the tax state) and you didn't get anything back, this may help.

Income gets reported to the state it's earned in. Generally, this means out-of-state workers have to file a return for their work state in addition to their resident state.

Typically, the taxpayer would file a nonresident state return for the state they worked in and pay that state's tax. They would then take a credit for taxes paid on their resident state return. TurboTax easily handles nonresident state returns.
