I recently moved to CT, but still work in NYC. Do I need to obtain CT resident status for tax purposes? Will a resident ID card suffice? Thanks

You became a Connecticut resident for tax purposes as soon as you established your domicile (your permanent home) in Connecticut.  You don't need a resident ID card.

For 2017, you will file as a part-year resident in both CT and NY (assuming NY was your previous domicile).  TurboTax can handle this common situation.  See this FAQ:  https://ttlc.intuit.com/questions/1901227-how-do-i-file-a-part-year-state-return

and you will still need to file in NYC, even after your move.
