I worked at a company on Boston MA for all 12 months in 2021 but only lived their June through September.  Otherwise lived in Florida. Do I have to pay full year of MA state taxes?

Per Mass Department of Revenue:

There are special rules for wages or other compensation paid to employees who are working remotely (working from home or a location other than their usual work location) due to the COVID-19 Pandemic.  For tax years 2020 and 2021, compensation paid to a nonresident for services that would normally be performed in Massachusetts are treated as Massachusetts source income subject to tax if they are performed in another state due to a Pandemic Related Circumstance and should be reported as taxable income on Form 1-NR/PY. 

Rules for employees who work remotely due to Covid-19

Thanks for that information.  But, if I moved prior Covid, February 2020, but just kept a place in MA but lived in Florida for 8/12 months do I still have to pay all those state taxes to MA?
