You are required to report all of the income to your resident state. Information below will be helpful and always prepare the nonresident state return(s) first, then complete your resident state.
Employers enter different wages in the state wage box that may be only the amount that had withholding against it for a particular state. It's important to list the correct state withholding for each state, if applicable, when entering your W2. Also, the state wage should be the same entry for both your resident and nonresident state in your scenario because all of the income was earned in the nonresident state.
Resident State: All income worldwide is required to be reported on your resident state return. Any money that is also taxed in a nonresident state will allow "credit for taxes paid to another state" when you complete your resident state return. Your resident state does not want you to pay tax twice on the same income.
Nonresident State: Any money earned in a nonresident state is required to be reported on that state tax return (with the exception of reciprocal agreements which does not apply in this case). The nonresident state will tax any income earned while you were in that state.
The filing requirement is different for each state, it's the nonresident requirement that is important in this case. For information see the TurboTax article below.
