Thanks Dave! I went back and made sure I did as you mentioned above. I guess the problem comes when MA's Allowable Credit shows as $1200 less than what was paid to RI. If I redo the states and file separately, my wife's RI return shows a $1400 swing from owing to receiving a refund and our MA returns show the same total refund. I find it hard to believe there is that much of a difference in the RI return due to filing status.
