State tax filing

Another user reported they were unable to e-file Massachusetts with two state wage lines on Form W-2 when they reset MA wages to $0.

 

Try Tax Champ Hal-Al’s solution first. If that does not work, delete MA Boxes 15-20 on your W-2 if you have no MA tax withheld in Box 17 and Box 16 matches what RI is reporting, This will not impact your federal or state returns.

 

If you lived in Massachusetts and worked in Rhode Island, you do not need a Massachusetts line on your W-2 because RI is taxing your income and you are claiming a credit for RI tax on your MA return.
