Get your taxes done using TurboTax

Thank you!

  1. Could you explain why you believe I should be adjusting? My employer says box 16 in all state W2s are income earned within that state. I think this is incorrect because that total is $11K higher than my gross annual salary (pre-tax), but am not sure.
  2. What would I be adjusting the MA income by? Would I just match what MA box 16 has instead of summing all state box 16s?
  3. Is this the adjustment page you're referring to? It says "answer Yes below only if your Forms W-2 misreport your Masachussetts wages because multiple states are reporting the same income on your W-2". As stated above, my employer claims that each state's box 16 only contains income earned within the state - so by extension, multiple states are not reporting the same income. image.png
  4. It also says under the Note, "if you answer Yes, you will not be able to file your Massachusetts return electronically. You will have to file a paper return."
