State tax filing
Unfortunately, no. Massachusetts is one of a handful of states that specifically taxes income earned by telecommuters as Massachusetts sourced income.
The only exception to this is a temporary exemption in some cases for 2020 income where the employee is working from another state due solely to the COVID-19 pandemic.

Interesting - in reading that point it only talks about apportioned earning for days in MA but it 100% of my actively is completely remotely in FL in theory there would be $0 / 0% apportioned to MA.

According to the reference I cited, MA does not tax non-resident remote workers who never physically work in MA. I don't know if @SusanY1 has information that supersedes that reference.
