So the MA DOR finally released a worksheet to calculate Household Income to determine if you are eligible for the MA unemployment deduction (linked from the MA DOR website here https://www.mass.gov/info-details/tax-filing-season-freque[product key removed]ions).
Household income =Federal AGI then add back: untaxed interest, untaxed social security and the Federal Unemployment Compensation Exclusion ("UCE"). Compare to the 200% Federal Poverty Limit for household size.
It's a simple calculation, so TT should be able to implement it quickly. The original poster on this thread who had $22k of AGI would only qualify for the MA deduction if the UCE was $3.5k or less.
