Do I need to fill out "Allocated Income Based on Business? (I have 2 W-2 forms from the same employer, one for AZ and another for NY. Paid state taxes on both.)

I worked in NY for 7 weeks on project. Thne went back to live and work in AZ until the next project. All my next projects were in states other than NY.
How do I enter in information if I had not physical address or exact percentage?

The form that you describe is Form IT 203-A.  If you were paid as wages reported on Form W2 as you state, that is not the method of allocation you will use in New York.  Rather, you will use Form IT 203-B, Nonresident and Part-Year Resident Income Allocation And College Tuition Itemized Deduction Worksheet.  The general method used on that form is Allocation based on days worked in New York.  

 

Through this method, your working days in New York will be divided by the total number of working days in the year.  That percentage will be applied to your total income to produce the New York portion, which is the income you will pay New York tax on.  Arizona, your home state, also taxes this (and all) taxable income, but will give you a credit for the tax you pay to New York on this same income.
