how do i confirm that ma does not recognize CT tax-exempt status for CT teachers retirement income?

CT teachers retirement will not withhold for MA so i will owe each year forever

If you move to Massachusetts and receive pension payments from your former states' public employee retirement plans, you can deduct those from your Massachusetts gross income if the former state doesn't tax income its residents receive from Massachusetts.  See Other states' tax treatment of out-of-state government pension.

 

Since Connecticut will not withhold Massachusetts tax, you should make estimated payments.
