If this income is not taxable to you on your Federal Return, it will not be taxable on your Massachusetts return, either.
The following link has information on this topic: Massachusetts Residency for Tax Purposes. On that link, you will need to scroll a ways down, but you will eventually reach the following information that directly applies to you:
Massachusetts treatment of Massachusetts source income
If you're a nonresident, your Massachusetts source income is excluded for Massachusetts purposes if:
- You're a citizen of a foreign country, and
- The income is excluded from federal gross income under an income tax treaty or convention that the United States is a part of.
Income you have to report:
- For types of Massachusetts sourced income that is not covered by treaties, report such income and pay tax on Form 1-NR/PY - Nonresident or Part-Year Resident Income Tax Return, or
- If there is no treaty between your country and the U.S., report and pay tax on income from Massachusetts sources on Form 1-NR/PY - Nonresident or Part-Year Resident Income Tax Return.
Since, as in point #2 above, the income you mention is excluded from U.S. tax filing, it will also be excluded from a Massachusetts state return you may be required to file on other income.
