Retirement tax questions

1. Worked in RI, that is all of your RI income, enter wages. But you said not paying tax on it which means zero taxable income.

2 .The tax liability.  Look at your RI return to find the tax liability.  You said no tax, so no tax liability.

 

3. Normally, you work in RI and pay taxes to get the credit in MA. Perhaps it is a new job and you are below the income level to be taxed.

You won't get a credit on MA when you had no tax elsewhere.

 

MA taxes earned income (salaries, wages, tips, commissions) and unearned (interest, dividends, etc) income at 5% with some exceptions to capital gains on page 12. See 2024 Form 1 Instructions.
