Yes, you will have to file in both states. Complete the federal form first and then start on the states. Having moved a lot and owning income property in a state, I can only tell you that each state is different in how then treat income from another state. Some will only apply a tax rate based on the income for the state. Others will apply a tax rate for the total income but on the portion that was earned in the state.

You filed your taxes that you worked in first. The state will have a NR (nonresident) form to complete. Then you filed your state taxes that you lived in second. Your resident state will have a CR (Credit Paid to Other States) form for you to complete and you will indicate the state that you pay most of your state taxes to. Your resident state will give you a credit from your tax liability.

there will always be ONE Federal return, and in your case, you will need to file TWO state returns. Do the one with the lower tax rate first, and use the OFFSET to reduce your tax payable or increase your refund in the higher rated one. Only report to each state the ACTUAL earnings while working in that state. You will get a separate W-2 for each state you worked in--the payroll system should handle that automatically. If they show your state earnings the same as your federal in all states, make sure you get corrected STATE copies from your employer.

You will need to file a Federal Tax return and (2) part year resident tax returns.

Federal taxes will take care of themselves....say if you file at somewhere like H&R Block, you can find them all over the United States, so that might be a good choice and they can take care of everything for you.
You will actually file though through which ever state you live in (even though you worked in 2 states).....if you live in say VA, they have a state tax so you would have to pay STATE TAX along with FEDERAL...so it would just go by the state you live in....but I would just go with a good reputable company like H&R BLOCK and let them do my taxes....

As long as you are a US citizen it should be legal. Your employer from each state should sent you a W2 form. You have to make sure they have your correct address. There are places on the tax return to put employers from different states.
I would go to a tax professional if you've never done it before.
