Because I transmitted my returns, the Tax Tools menu is no longer available to me when I log on. Have you got another way to achieve the same objective?
If you have a test environment or sandbox available to you, you should be able to easily replicate this issue. Enter a 1099-NEC with, say $50,00 of income in RI for a non-resident. Create a Schedule C with $1,000 of business expenses. I don't even think you need to have any MA income but you can create whatever MA resident income you want. In my case, all of our MA income is 1099-R and SSA 1099 income. Verify on the federal return that you pay self-employment taxes on the 1099-NEC income of which 50% should be deductible on Schedule 1. Create A RI return and be sure to enter the deductible SE taxes as an adjustment or modification to the RI income. Then create a MA return and verify the MA income is correct. If you look at the MA Form OJC, the income earned in another jurisdiction will not be the same as on RI Schedule II, line 9, Column A, Adjustments to AGI from Federal Form 1040, line 10.
