Massachusetts Notice of change in tax return. How to respond?

[ssagnes]

The change is incorrect. The notice says I need to file an Amended Return. They have omitted the $1000 SLRWND tax credit I reported.

What exactly is that credit?  Did they say that you didn't qualify for it?

[SweetieJean]

The amount of the energy credit claimed by the taxpayer in a taxable year may not exceed the taxpayer's personal income tax liability for that year. To determine the amount allowable in a given taxable year, a taxpayer must reduce the $1000 maximum credit amount by the amount of any energy credit allowed to the taxpayer in any prior taxable years with respect to the same principal residence.

Mass has increased my taxable income by $1000, from $440 to $1440! They suggest I file an Amended Return. Amend what?
