Are you getting a refund from MA for the time you lived in MO? If so, you are not being double taxed.
Since you lived in both states you will owe taxes to both states, but the amount of your credit should only be the amount that you were taxed by both states while you lived in MO.
For instance, if you made $100,000 total. $40,000 from the first company, $60,000 from the second company. You started work for the MA company in July, then moved to MA in August, so you only have on month that you would have paid to MA while living in MO. If you had $3,000 withheld for MA total, but you are getting a refund of $500 for the time you lived in MO, then you would not be eligible for a credit from MO since you didn't pay any taxes to MA (you did, but you are getting it back) during the time you lived in MO.
Did you look at your forms to see if you are getting a refund or if something is wrong?
You can see your forms by clicking Tax Tools>>Tools>>View Tax Summary>>Preview My 1040. You can click on the state in this section and see if you are getting a refund from MA, which, again, would eliminate your credit for MO.
