State Tax Filing

My daughter lives in Florida, but worked for American Cruise Line based out of Connecticut. She worked on the Mississippi River cruises. Do she have to file a state tax return? If so, which state?

Did she actually work IN Mississippi? If so, then she has to file a Mississippi nonresident tax return and pay Mississippi tax on the income she earned for working in Mississippi.

She certainly does not have to file a Florida tax return, because Florida has no personal income tax. And it doesn't matter where the company is "based" if she didn't work there.
