My wife's income for 2020 was entirely from the state of New York, but under income from other states it says none?

Does she need to file for New York separately or does this cover it?

It depends on your income and states of residency. Married taxpayers generally use the same status as federal.

If one spouse is a New York State resident and the other is a nonresident or part-year resident then you must either:

file separate New York State returns using filing status (3); or
file jointly, as if you both were New York State residents, using filing status (2).
