Does it matter which state I file against if my company resides in one state and I live in another state?

I am an employee of a corporation. I work out of my house (therefore I do not commute to the office). I reside in MA and my company is in RI.

Do you work at your company--in other words, do you commute into another state? If you do, you may have to file in both states.
If you do all of your work in the same state that you live, you probably only have to file in your home state.
(And, I just noticed that you called it "my" company. If you actually own the company, this would change the answer.)
Sorry for the hedging words, but the question cannot be answered with certainty without knowing which states you are talking about and where you actually do the work. You might want to repost with that information--as well as whether you are an employee, independent contractor, or the owner of the business.

I'm pretty sure that you file in the state in which you did the work. Ex. Professional athletes have to file state returns in every state in which they played or received winnings in. Even though they personally reside in other states.

Your Home state. That is where you need to pay your taxes. That is the only place that will take care of you through your tax dollars.
The state where you work will not send their state police to help you if you need it.
