If it shows all income is earned in my resident state, instead of my work state, what do I do?

My W-2 shows everything for the state I currently reside in. There’s nothing that shows that any of it went to my work state. I’ve learned that they’re reciprocal and it only showing my resident state income tax made sense. The nonresident earning section is confusing me though, so I re-input the entire number from my wages?

If you don't have withholdings from the reciprocal state, you don't need to file the nonresident state return.  A reciprocal agreement, also called reciprocity, is an agreement between two states that allows residents of one state to request exemption from tax withholding in the other (reciprocal) state. This can save you the trouble of having to file multiple state returns.    Your resident state taxes all of your income anyway, so you can skip the nonresident return.   Delete it since you do not need it.
