Hi!  I recently began a remote job as a 1099 independent contractor for a company out of New Mexico.  I live and do my remote work 100% of the time in Mississippi.  When it comes time to pay state taxes, do I just pay them for Mississippi since that is my state of residency and the state that I do 100% of my remote work in?

That's right. You file only a Mississippi tax return. Since you live and work in Mississippi, all of your income is Mississippi income. The fact that your client in located in New Mexico doesn't matter.
