Utility bills in one state while being paid in another.

I am visiting Indiana for work (on and off for the next year) but getting paid in New York state. I am staying in a house in Indiana and the others in the house asked me to take care of the electric bill just so that its a more even spread of the utilities cost between the housemates. Do I have to declare Indiana residency because of this while filing tax returns?

PS - I am not on the house lease or utility bills in New York but I get paid there.
