I lived in New Mexico from 1January to 1June 2016. Don't I have to pay state income tax for the 6 months I lived in New Mexico?

It depends but if you are required to file a federal income tax return and you had any income from any sources as a part-year residence of NM, then you will need to file an NM part-year state income tax return to report this income.

You can add a state under the state taxes tab.

Divide your income based on the time in each state and report these amounts separately on your part-year resident state income tax returns of each state.

So for state tax purposes, you will need to divide up your wages based on the time you were a part-year resident of each state. If your employer only withheld taxes from one state, you may owe taxes in the state for which no state withholdings were taken out but you may get a refund in the state where extra withholdings were taken out.
