I am a travel Respiratory Therapist who's permanent residence is MT. I work short periods of time in other states. Do i have to claim that I lived in other states?

every state that imposes an individual income tax has different filing requirements for non-residents.  if you got a w-2 that reflects all wages as being in your home state that's what i would go with even though that's probably wrong.  your employer would have to amend the w-2 and probably amend or file payroll tax returns in those states which can make your employer very unhappy.  on the other hand if you are self-employed , i would suggest you visit those states department of revenue and look up in the non-resident filing instructions what the filing requirements are.
