I currently live and do all of my work from Arizona for a business based in New Mexico. I have been getting taxes taken out for both Arizona and New Mexico from my paychecks. I have several questions about this:
1. Do I owe taxes in both states?
2. Do I need to file a state return in both states?

If you only worked in Arizona, you should only file/pay tax in Arizona. If the New Mexico taxes were withheld, you should file a nonresident NM return and report 0 income to get a refund. If you have not done so already, contact your employer and request no NM withholding.
In the section "Taxes paid to another state or country" on the Arizona tax return, do I say nothing or enter the amount that was paid to New Mexico?
I suggest you begin with fresh data imported from the federal return. If you are working remotely, you will owe taxes to Arizona, where you live and work, not where the company is located.
This should prompt the allocation of income in both New Mexico and Arizon. Both returns will ask what part of the federal income is sourced in that state, and since you should owe 0 taxes in New Mexico after you complete the return, you can respond with 0 to Arizona when it asks about taxes paid to another state.
