Retirement tax questions

Massachusetts has not issued guidance on how to properly report your $500 COVID-19 Essential Employee Premium Payment.

Since you mention an override, I’m assuming your are using TurboTax CD/Download. This is a workaround.

To remove this payment from Massachusetts:
 

1. Tap Forms in the top right corner
2. In the left column, Forms in My Return, tap Schedule X in Massachusetts Individual forms
3. Scroll down to line 4 (Fees and other 5% income). Your $500 payment should appear there
4. Tap the box. A magnifying glass will appear.
5. Tap the magnifying glass to bring up Fees and Other 5% Income Statement
6. Enter -$500 on this statement
7. Tap Step-by-Step in the top right corner to get back to the interview mode
