Thank you for your quick response.
My husband did pay taxes for work in RI, approximately $150. After filling out the RI 1040NR form it shows that he will owe no taxes an receive the $150 back as a refund. So you are saying because of this we will not get any credit thru MA because we didn't pay anything to RI. So the questions in the interview of turbotax are for the worksheet purposes, the form on the mass 1040 tax credit line will be 0.
But just to understand for the future what numbers should go into those 2 interview questions?
1. 5% income, is this just the RI income? Or the combined RI and MA income minus deductions and exemptions on the RI 1040nr form which includes husband and wife incomes since filing jointly.
2. Is the question 'RI tax paid on this income' the amount of tax we are liable to pay to RI? My husband did pay $150 in taxes but after filling out the form it shows he is not liable to pay anything. So what would go in this box for the turbotax question, $0 or $150
Thank you,
Donna
