State taxes were paid from me to a state I did not live in due to a clerical error at my job. Do I still need to input that information from my W2 on my tax return?

Yes, if you want your money refunded to you.

When an employer pays withholding to a state where you neither live or work, you would want to file a return to get a refund of the tax withheld.
