Correct, sch Y would not apply. Follow these steps:
- Open your return
- Go to MA state return
- continue to We've finished your return
- Select Adjustments
- continue through
- Select no to benefits from firefighter/ emergency medical
- continue going through to How Mass handles Income for Part-year
- continue
- enter the Non- Mass portion of income- zero or blank should be entered
- continue
- income earned while not a resident- all of it.
- Continue on until you reach Income Exclusions for Mass.
- Mark "Neither of the Above" since that is the firefighter/ foreign treaty question.
- continue through your return
For the non-military wages, review your federal section to see if anything related to this income was answered that could pull to the MA sch Y.
