Do I need to file a state tax return if my employer already took out the state tax from my paycheck each month?
My co-worker told me that I need to file a state tax return if I received a W-2.

Depending on the rules for your State, if you file a Federal Tax Return, you are usually required to file your State.
Just as with your Federal, you must do the calculations to make sure you are even (you don't owe any more tax, and/or they don't owe you a refund), and for your own protection and personal tax record must have that filed with your State taxing agency.
good luck

The truth is the state where you are a resident will give you a credit for taxes paid to other states. You will still file both states returns. One resident return and one non-resident. But the total tax will be based upon the combined rates.

out of 50 state in US, 41 impose a income tax, if your not in NH, tennessee, Alaska Florida Naevada South Dakota Texas washington or Wyoming then Ya you need to file a state income tax return.
Here is how state income tax works
1)You do your federal income tax first because federal will tax you on 100% of your income.
2)The state you work in say it is Missouri will tax you only on the income you earned in that state. so do a Missouri state non resident income tax return.
3)The state you live in which say it is NC will tax you on the 100% of your income (usually base on the federal income tax information) MINUS a credit of tax you pay to the other state (Missouri).
So do your NC resident state return last

If you earned money, you need to file a tax return, even though you may not owe tax. You may actually get a refund so cheer up.

Yes, you still need to file a state return, but if your employer deducted all that you owe, you won't be paying anything additional.
