State tax filing
I received only one W2. But in box-16, it has two rows: one for Rhode Island where the income is actually earned, and another for Massachusetts for the same amount of income. In box-17, there are also two rows: one for Rhode Island showing state tax withheld, the other row for Massachusetts with much smaller amount.
When I prepare Massachusetts return, it added up the amounts of both rows in W2 box-16, which doubled what I actually earned. Turbo Tax gave the option of only importing MA return, but then one has to mail in the return. Some other posts reported similar issues. If one modifies the row for Massachusetts in box-16 to 0, he can E-file, but someone has been audited by Massachusetts Department of Revenue for doing so in the past.
My employer said the W-2 was correct and I need to check with TurboTax or find another accountant to properly file the return.
