State tax filing

Per the State of Massachusetts, non-residents are subject to Massachusetts income tax on unemployment compensation that is related to previous employment in Massachusetts. The amount of your taxable unemployment compensation should be on Line 10a of Form 1-NR/PY. Since only Massachusetts sourced income is shown on this form, this should be the only amount on Lines 5-11 unless you had additional Massachusetts income. Please review your Form 1-NR/PY. 

 

You would also pay tax on your income in your resident state of Rhode Island. To avoid double-taxation, Rhode Island should have given you a credit of taxes paid on Form RI 1040-MU. Your credit would flow to your Rhode Island Schedule II, line 28, which is on your 2021 Form RI-1040 (page 3). Please review your forms to ensure you have a credit on your Rhode Island return.
