Actually, there is a way. You and your husband should each complete your federal return, without filing, then work on your state returns.
I obviously don't know what tax program, if any, that your husband is using, but in TurboTax, you can see your federal AGI (which is what Massachusetts is asking for) when you:
- Sign in to your TurboTax Online account. This takes you to your Tax Home
- Open your return by selecting Continue or Pick up where you left off in any of the sections on the Hi [Your name], let's keep working on your taxes! page
- From here, new options will appear in the left pane
- Scroll down and select the Tax Tools dropdown
- Select Tools and the Tools Center popup will appear
- Select View Tax Summary
Here, you can see your federal adjusted gross income.
If your husband is using a different tax program, there's probably a similar feature there.
