Generally, the answer is yes.  The specific answer may depend on whether you lived in more than one state and where you worked during each period of residency.  

 

If you lived in one state (state A) all year, but earned money from other states (states B and C) that was taxed by the other states (states B and C), then you would claim a credit for taxes paid to another state (states B and C) on your resident state tax return (state A).

Be sure you complete your non-resident state return(s) before you do your home state return, so that the credit flows properly.
