MA allows a limited deduction for your contribution to Social Security, Medicare, railroad retirement, or a US or MA government retirement plan.

For example, SS and Medicare tax reported on your W-2 would be automatically applied to this deduction. Look at your W-2. If Social Security and Medicare taxes were withheld (boxes 4 and 6), you have contributed to a "retirement plan".
