Thanks Julie. The State of MA made a special $500 payment in 2022 to employees deemed necessary who worked during Covid. The State has ruled this payment is not taxable on State tax return but it is taxable at the federal level. The issue is the software carries the $500 payment (1099-G) over automatically to the State return and will not allow me to over-ride it on the actual tax form if I want to e-file.
