How do i file my state taxes if i live in one state and work in another state

It depends on which  states.

The general rule is: your report all your income on your home state return, even the income earned out of state. You file a non-resident state return for the state you worked in and pay tax to that state. Your home state will give you a credit, or partial credit, for what you paid the non-resident state.

Many neighboring states have reciprocal agreements and it is not necessary to file a work state return.

When you worked in a state without an income tax (e.g. Texas or Florida), there will be no credit, since there was no TX/FL tax. In other words, having worked in a state without an income tax does not get you out of paying state tax on that income, to your home state.

You will file a resident and a nonresident tax return. It depends on which states since they all have different rules. Some have reciprocity between them, some give a credit for taxes paid to other states. Begin with the nonresident return first.
