State tax filing
No, you should not fill out data from the job you had while living and working in New York. You would only qualify for the other state tax credit on your Massachusetts income tax return if you continued to pay New York tax while working in MA and had double taxed income.
Generally part-year residents don't qualify for a credit paid another state because there is no overlapping income. Part-year residents usually pay tax only to their resident state.
New York requires employers to report total wages earned everywhere in Box 16 so if you stayed with the same employer, it may look like you had double taxed income, but you may not. If you only reported part-year income to New York and no NY income to MA then you had no double taxed income and would say No to "Income taxed by another state."
