You will have to file a state return for Connecticut (if they have one) you will have to file a non resident state tax for New york. Be sure it is non resident. you can also look up each state on the Internet they can help. EX New York department of revenue

Exactly like the other person said- you will file a Full year resident income tax form for CT and a non resident income tax form for NY - however - you will be able to take a credit on your CT tax form for the taxes you pay in NY so that you will not be paying double taxes. If in doubt about this - come tax time take your taxes to H&R Block. But when I had a similiar situation with RI and CT, I was able to download all forms and books right from the websites and do the taxes myself. Its a bit aggravating though..and even though you do get the credit back from NY towards CT..its still means you are paying more taxes than if you just worked and lived in one state.
