State tax filing
No, please do not add any lines to your wife's W-2.
Let's attack the real problem, which is why the MA state return is doubling your income.
It sounds like you two should have two W-2s: one for you and one for your wife.
Please do a Search (upper right) for W-2 and click on the jump-to result.
Now you should see a table of W-2s. Are there only two W-2's there?
Next, edit each W-2. Does one belong to you and one to your spouse? (look closely at the checked box)
On your W-2, are there two box 15 entries, one for MA and one for RI?
On your spouse's W-2, is there on one box 15 entry, the one for RI?
If so, this is correct. If you still have a problem, tell me, did you auto-import your W-2? If so, please write down everything on your W-2, delete the W-2 and re-add it. Sometime garbage gets added on the auto-import.
Come back and tell us what happened.
