State tax filing

You can claim a credit for tax paid to Canada in the Massachusetts section.

  1. Continue until you see Pay Tax to Another State?
  2. On Other Jurisdiction, use the last option in the drop down: The Dominion of Canada
  3. Follow the rest of the screens

Massachusetts allows a credit for tax paid to:

  • Other states in the U.S., including payments made under the Rhode Island Temporary Disability Insurance Act or other similar programs that meet all requirements and are essentially an income tax
  • Any territory or dependency of the U.S., including:  
    • Puerto Rico
    • The Virgin Islands
    • Guam
    • The District of Columbia
  • The Dominion of Canada or any of its provinces (You must first reduce the taxes you paid by the amount allowed as a federal Foreign Tax Credit on U.S. Form 1116, claimed or not.)
  • New Hampshire Business Profits Tax (considered an income tax)
  • District of Columbia Unincorporated Business Franchise Tax (UBT)
