Best Answer

You file for unemployment benefits in the state where you work. It's called the "liable state" because it collects payroll taxes from the businesses in that state and in turn pays the benefits to the workers there who have lost their jobs.

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.
