State tax filing
Take each state and divide by the total. Take the MA income and divide it by your total income. Multiply that percentage times the total of each category.
For example:
- You earned $10,000 in MA and $40,000 total on all W2s.
- ($40,000 total - $10,000 MA = $30,000 non-MA income - see more below)
- $10,000 MA divided by $40,000 total equals 25%.
- Add up all the Medicare on all W2 forms.
- Multiple the total Medicare by 25%,
- Add up all the Social Security on all W2 forms
- Multiply Social Security by 25% and so on.
- Keep adding and multiplying as needed
If you need it the other way around, you can do the non-MA
- $30,000 non MA divided by $40,000 total equals 75%.
- Add up all the Medicare on all W2 forms.
- Multiple the total Medicare by 75%,
- Add up all the Social Security on all W2 forms
- Multiply Social Security by 75% and so on.
- Keep adding and multiplying
If all income on the W2 was MA, no math required. Just look at the form.
