No. You do not have to pay Mississippi state income tax if you are a Native American Indian living and working on your federally recognized reservation.
Mississippi says: “A Native American living and working on an Indian Reservation in Mississippi is exempted from Mississippi Income Tax on the income earned on the reservation.”
Your employer should not have withheld state income tax. If they did, speak with your employer to see if they can correct your W-2.
Fill out and give your employer a Form 80-340 to claim an exemption from future withholding.
If you cannot get a corrected W-2, you can add a negative adjustment on your Mississippi return. On the screen Enter Any Other Income and Losses, enter your tribal wages as a negative number.
