Why am I paying vermont state tax if I did not work in vermont in 2023

[KrisD15]

To clarify, was Vermont state tax withheld?

Do you live in Vermont?

Are you filing a Vermont tax return and if yes, why?

I deleted the vermont state return because I did not work in vermont. Went to finish the taxes and now it is asking me again to file vermont taxes which I do not have. I am a resident but did not work in the state.
