Multiple states
I have to file in MD to get overpayment of unemployment withholding. I did not live there and had no income. I lived in NM and CA. Got stuck in CA due to COVID-19. Do I need to file in all three states? Help!

Yes. You would file a part-year resident return for New Mexico and a part-year resident return for California because they require part-year residents to file as long as a taxpayer is filing a federal return.
You will also need to file a non-resident return for Maryland. Per the Comptroller of Maryland, If Maryland tax was withheld from your unemployment, you must file to obtain a refund of the withholding. Although you did not live or work there, in order to get a refund of withholding, you must file a non-resident return to do so.
