I'm a grad student in MD, but did a 3 month internship in WA, where I earned most of my annual income. Do I file as permanent or part-year MD resident?

You were a full year MD resident

Thank you Hal_Al! So I don't need to record anything related to my WA taxes? It's as though I earned all the income in MD?

That is correct. Your state of residence can tax all your income, regardless of where you earned it. A temporary absence from your home state for work or school does not constitute a change in residency. Non-resident states can tax you for income earned within their borders, but this is not an issue in your case, because Washington State does not have a personal income tax.
