It does not seem like you necessarily made a mistake. If you sign in to the appropriate TurboTax Online account and do not see Accepted next your state tax return, you have not successfully e-filed it. If you need to file a MA nonresident state tax return, you may still do so. If not, you may just leave it in your TurboTax Online account.
TurboTax
primarily determines which state tax returns you need to file based on
what you enter on the My Info tab
in TurboTax Online and related income sources, i.e. W-2, Form 1099-R, etc.
You may enter MA in Other state
income at the bottom of the screen mentioned above, if applicable (see attached
screenshot)). Thus, you should review each of those areas in the program
and pay extra attention that you entered the correct MA state taxes withheld on
the W-2, etc., if applicable. Also, you should verify your income was properly allocated as you
review the state screens, if applicable.
Several
nonresident state tax returns begin with federal adjusted gross income so it
may appear you are being taxed on all your income. However, after reviewing the
entire nonresident state tax return, you should find that nonresidents
generally only pay tax on income they earned from work performed in the state,
and on income received from other sources within the state via some sort of
state specific allocation methodology. You may try to determine if your tax
amount appears reasonable by calculating an effective tax rate (total tax /
adjusted gross income). Please review the following link(s) and the
