In general (because I don't have all your specifics), you will do the following

 

  • In Personal Info or My Info, report that you live in Connecticut, but add that you lived in a second state, Massachusetts
  • Enter the date you move
  • Enter your Massachusetts data first
  • Then enter your Connecticut data

The state where you live gets to tax you. The state where you work gets to tax you. The resident state will grant (normally) a tax credit for taxes paid to the nonresident state, to alleviate double taxation.
