State tax filing

Now you should see a table of W-2s. Are there only two W-2's there? Yes

 

Next, edit each W-2. Does one belong to you and one to your spouse? (look closely at the checked box)Yes

 

On your W-2, are there two box 15 entries, one for MA and one for RI?Yes

 

On your spouse's W-2, is there on one box 15 entry, the one for RI?Yes

 

If so, this is correct. If you still have a problem, tell me, did you auto-import your W-2? Yes

---------------------

so I manually typed in the information.

And still having the same issue.

---------------

I think you understand the issue but just to reiterate with example.

so my wage, let say is, 500

and my wife wage is, 900.

 

whenever I do my MA return

If I ask turbotax to import just using federal, it is 

(500)x2+900; hence doubling only my portion

If I ask turbotax to import just MA, it is

500 + 0; hence ignoring my wife's portion (as there is no seperate ro 15-17 for MA)

-------------------

I learned that I can fix the issue if I just add the line to my wife's W-2 form stating $0 witheld on MA.

and choosing to import MA W-2 only.

it will give

500+900

------------------

I asked the wife's employer to change W-2 but they are refusing now...or does not know how.
