State tax filing

If you are a US citizen you will file using form 1040. In the "My Info" section you will select that you lived in "Foreign/US possession" on 31 Dec and "No" you did not live in any other state in 2020. 

 

Then, if MA withheld taxes on your W2, you will need to file non-resident MA return to get that refunded.  In the "My Info" section scroll down to "Other State Income" and select MA.  This will generate the MA non-resident return.

 

If however, you are not a US citizen, but hold an alien immigration status then you did not meet the substantial presence test for Resident alien status and would file using a form 1040NR.  TurboTax does not support that form, however Sprintax can provide any assistance you might need for that form.
