I am going to correct the answer of [mention://64461373 [mention://64461373
@TurboTaxIrene]]. MA gives you a deduction (up to $2,000) for payments made into the social security system and medicare (or mandatory payments to state retirement systems) while you were working in MA. I am assuming you are filing a MA part-year resident/non-resident tax return. If you worked entirely in MA, the answer is zero. If you worked partially in MA, you calculate the amount of social security and medicare taxes withheld not attributed to working in MA.
