No. You file as part year residents in both states.

As part-year residents, you can elect to file as either a resident or non-resident.

You can prepare both a resident and non-resident return.  Then, you can file the one that's more advantageous for you.

See Who Must File? in the Form 200-02 NR General Instructions for more information.

Thank You. Do I take the standard deductions noted on line 38? we lived only one month in DE for 2020?
