Everybody on the thread needs to realize that the IRS and all of the states have already received the w2. They know the numbers. The program does not go to the state and IRS, only the actual tax forms. You need for your tax forms to be correct.
The w2 entry is your place in the program to enter the information to get to your tax form correctly. You should change box 16 in the program, which has nothing to do with your taxes, it is just a place to move things around.
Enter all the other state income. Then MA can be the leftovers. If there was no state tax withheld, you could leave it blank.
CO $1,000
OH $12,000
NY $20,000
MA rest of income
Your income will be correct on the tax forms and you can e-file.
