Since you worked in AZ you must pay AZ income tax on the wages you earned there. File in AZ as a non-resident.

You say you didn't live in AZ, but I assume you didn't commute home to TN each night. Hopefully you have good records to substantiate that this was always intended to be a short-term job for you, otherwise the AZ tax authorities might insist that you are actually an AZ resident and hence try to tax your full income.
