You are missing the way MA income is calculated. MA creates its own path to taxable MA income and none of the federal is taxable so all of it is left out of the calculations. NY starts with the federal and you have to move parts and pieces around. Your MA is correct with all of it being excluded.
There is not a problem, states just handle how to get to their taxable income differently.
