I have a consulting business in VA and had a client in Hawaii. Do I need to claim my income from that client as Hawaii income, even though I earned it while in VA?

For 4 months I was a consultant to a company in Hawaii, while working in VA to expand their business on the mainland.  The rest of the year I was an employee of theirs for the same reason.  Neither time were Hawaii state taxes taken out, but rather VA taxes.  Do I need to now also pay taxes in Hawaii on that income?

You will not need to file a Hawaii return.

Even if the business's main office is in Hawaii, the work you did was for a location in Virginia.  Since you did the work in Virginia and not Hawaii, you will only need a Viriginia return.
