Syanjali,
The answer is not so straight forward as you define it. Even if you don't have any earning from the state or residency, you may end up paying tax in the state of residence not only in the state where you earned your income. So, it is wise to find out the state of residence first as (either new or old), which ultimately depends upon the no of days anyone was in particular state. And one more thing, if Hopwdy is in F1 (which I believe is true) he/she can't just use turbo tax or taxintruit for filing the federal as well as state tax return, it will take him to 1040 while he/she has to file 1040NR EZ.
Hoowdy,
I suggest you to go to both states income tax form and instructions and find out which state you belong the resident of.
Good Luck
