It depends.
You may need to file a NY state income tax return to report your NY-source earnings. (NY is one of
the few states that will require you to file in NY if you work remotely
but the company is based in NY.)
However, if you did not work in NY or if your employer is not located in NY, you will not have to file in NY. (You will only need to include your wages on your resident state income tax return
If you were a full year resident of MA and earned the income in MA but the company you work for is located in NY, you
will need to file a NY nonresident state income tax return to report your
NY-source income.
You
will then be able to get a tax credit on your MA resident state income tax
return for taxes paid on your nonresident state income tax return. (In
TurboTax, this information usually is listed towards the end of your resident
state tax return)
You
will want to work on your non-resident state tax return first. You will then
take a tax credit from your non-resident return on your resident state tax
return. (Please note that you will only get a tax credit for your nonresident
income taxes paid up to the amount of resident income taxes that would have
been paid if the income was earned in your resident state).
Just
follow the TurboTax guide when working on your states (remembering to do your
non-resident state return first) and TurboTax will do all the calculations and
credits to your resident states return.

However, if you
move from one state to another during the year, you should file as a part-year
resident in both states. So if you moved from NY to MA, you will need to file a part-year resident state income tax return for both MA and NY. This will treat you as a resident of each state only
for the days that you lived in that state so that you can avoid being
double-taxed.
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.
