State tax filing

No. You will not be able to claim a credit for tax paid to another state unless you have income taxed by two states.

 

In your example, you lived and worked in New York and lived and worked in Massachusetts so you would file part-year returns in both states and report NY income to NY and MA income to MA. There would be no overlapping income to claim a double-tax credit.
