State taxes: income allocation by state for dividends

I'm doing two partial state returns, one of them Maine. For Maine, the state return asks me to allocate my income sources according to the portion that was earned from sources outside of Maine. This is simple for wages, but I don't know what to do for dividends, all from mutual funds. Is the "source" the location of the actual companies in the funds (can't track ANY state-level locations from Fidelity; it just has percentage of US vs international and the top 10 holdings of the hundreds of companies in the funds) or is it where I was living when I earned the dividends? (The latter doesn't seem right, as I already apportioned out the dividends to what was distributed to me while in Maine.) It's unlikely any of these companies are located in Maine, though not impossible...

So I'm guessing it's either all or nothing, just not sure which. Thanks!
