Retirement tax questions

@DaveF1006 

 

For Boston Public employees and many (most/all) Massachusetts state employees, Teachers...etc...

Here's one page that deals with their situation:

https://mtrs.state.ma.us/service/social-security/

 

"As you probably know, Massachusetts is one of a handful of “non-Social Security” states. This means that you, as a member of a contributory retirement system, pay into our system instead of Social Security; you do not earn any Social Security “credits” or “quarters” for your MTRS contributions or service."

 

So "nothing" will be in box 4  for year after year...(don't know how they handle box 3 for that situation).....and the W-2C notice has absolutely nothing to do with these thousands of folks.
