State tax filing

Yes. If Massachusetts state tax was withheld in error, then you can file to get everything back.

 

  1. Go to the Massachusetts section.
  2. On the screen “Apportion Your Wages?” select YES
  3. On “Nonresident Apportionment” tap EDIT next to your W-2
  4. On “Apportionment Method” chose Working Days
  5. Enter Total Working Days Outside Massachusetts and “0” for Total Working Days Inside Massachusetts
  6. On the screen “Wages you earned outside of Massachusetts” the number should equal W-2 Box 16 Massachusetts income.

It’s likely you will owe some Maryland tax because you had no MD withholding for those paychecks where your state taxes went to MA.
