"State e-file fails because "tax exempt pension should not be entered directly on Form 1 for State e-file"."
This message generally means that you should not make direct entries on a form, whether in Forms mode in the CD/download software or in the Review (where screens like the form appear). Instead, you should go back to the original input and re-enter the data there.
My guess is that you accidentally marked on a field on Form 1 while in Forms mode.
Since this is Form 1, I don't think you can delete Form 1 in Forms mode, but maybe you can. I would try deleting Form 1 and then walking through the MA interview. Otherwise, you may need to delete MA the state and start it over again. Since you have the CD/download software, this should be doable, if a little time consuming.
