AnnetteB,
When I wrote in my previous post "Everything you say is correct," I was wrong. Your first sentence "Information from the Federal Form 2210 is transferred to the MA Form 2210, except for the case where the annualized income method is being used " is patently false.
There is no data on IRS Form 2210 that would be appropriate to be transferred to MA Form M-2210. The taxable income can be different. Probably the most common difference between IRS income and MA income is that the IRS can include up to 85% of one's Social Security income. MA does not tax Social Security income. Also, the total tax and prior year's taxes would be different as well as federal withholdings and estimated payments.
In fact, TurboTax does not transfer anything from IRS Form 2210 to MA Form M-2210.
