State tax filing

File part-year Massachusetts and Rhode Island income tax returns. Each state will allow you to adjust the income you are reporting.

Enter the correct amount of income you earned in each state on the state return for that state.

Massachusetts works backwards. On the part-year MA form, subtract non-Massachusetts income, i.e. income earned in Rhode Island. 

You’ll find the MA adjustment on the screen “Non-Massachusetts Portion of Income.

For Rhode Island, adjust your wages on the screen “Rhode Island Wages and Salaries.”
