Confused about second state income

I worked for a company based in CT and made 600 in that state, but I live in NY. CT requires 24000 to file a return, and I made more if I count my NY income. Do I need to file a CT state return if the CT portion is only 600?

    Yes, because your total income from all sources (including your New York earnings) exceeds the Connecticut filing threshold of $24,000 for married couples or $15,000 for single filers, you are generally required to file a Connecticut nonresident return, although this full amount is not taxed by Connecticut.
