I got paid with a stipend for an internship. I was working in Mississippi, but my 1099-MISC has a return address of Maryland, neither of which is my state of residence. Which of those two states did I "earn money in" for the sake of filing my taxes? (nothing was withheld so it's not a return).

You file taxes in your residence state and any other state where you physically perform services for compensation.
The normal rules for interstate taxation are -
· you file a non-resident return for the states where you worked but did not live, reporting only the income earned in that state.
· you file a resident return for the state you live in reporting all of your income, no matter where it was earned. You claim on your home state resident return a credit for taxes paid to other states that you worked in. If the out of state income was from a state without an income tax, you would have no credit.
The result of these rules is that you will pay tax on the income, but only once, and the net result is it will be at the tax rate in the higher tax state.
· If the resident state is a non-income tax state like Florida, Texas and others, the result will be that you still will owe taxes in your non-resident state.
· If the non-resident state is a non-income tax state like Florida, Texas and others, the result will be that you still will owe taxes in your resident state.
There are some exceptions to this rule, but can handle them. Exceptions are in "Reciprocal Tax Agreement" states. This URL provides information on filing multi-state returns
