Does the state listed in a 1099-int matter for reporting the income in that state if I am not filing there?

I am a resident of MA, but going to school in CT so I had updated my accounts to my temporary school address to get mail there. I received a 1099-int showing my address in CT, but no state tax was withheld. I did not earn any income in CT so I would not file a return there, but I am worried if they may see the 1099-int showing a CT address and expect me to file and report that interest income there. Is that the case? Or can I just ignore the "CT address" of the form and report it under my MA state as if the 1099 had listed a MA address? Thanks!
