State tax nexus rules are a mess right now with remote work. The general rule is: you owe tax to every state where you work, even temporarily. But practical enforcement varies widely.

The IRS has been increasing enforcement in this area significantly. What you could get away with 5 years ago is being caught now. When in doubt, report conservatively and consult a CPA.
