State tax filing
Worked for me. Thanks @AmyC
For folks out there having the same problem here is a quick recap:
Work in RI and live in MA. 100% of my income is made in RI but my W2 reports State Wages for both RI and MA, therefor when I was doing the MA state return it double counts my income. Tried multiple options suggested in the forum and the only thing that worked was changing the MA State Wages in Box 16 to $0.
This is correct because RI shows all my income which was made there. If you had income in another state and have this problem, you will need to edit box 16 for all states, making sure that sum is correct.
With this I was able to e-file. If you let Turbotax grab only the MA portion of the W2 instead of manually editing your W2, you won't be able to e-file your State Return.
Final caveat, make sure your box 16 is $0 and not blank or it will create issues with your Federal Return.
Cheers!
