How can you file and receive unemployment from a state that is not where you reside? The answer is going to depend on what state is listed on your W-2 form in the state section at the bottom. This will tell where the income is deemed to be earned. You will need to file a return for every state where you have reported income. In the case of the state you are asking about you will need to file a non-resident return.
