Do i need to file multiple state income tax returns returns?
I moved from Iowa to Tennessee Jan 1 of last year. I was receiving unemployment from Iowa when we moved. I called and gave them my new address. They told me that Tennessee did not have state income tax like most other states, so they would stop taking state tax out of my unemployment. My unemployment still was issued from the state of Iowa. My question is, I had zero other income while in the state of Tennessee. ( we moved back to iowa at the end of June) Since there is no state tax in Tennessee, and my unemployment was still issued from Iowa, do I even need to file part year residency for each state even though there was no income from the state of Tennessee?

TN does not tax wages or unemployment benefits. If that's your only income for the year, you do not need to file a TN return.
You will file a part year resident IA return. Only the income earned while living in IA is taxable in IA. That said, IA may decide that your move to TN was temporary and try to tax the entire year's income. If you have proof of TN residency such as your old TN driver's license and tag receipts, voter registration cards, etc. that would help immensely if IA challenges your part year status.

If you made over $1250 then you may own "Hall Tax", possibly. I did a quick google search and found this site. I am surprised that Iowa continued to send you checks even after you moved to another state. I think you may still need to file with Tennessee. You might need to call the state comptroller's office to ask.
