I can't file my Massachusetts return because I'm told that tax-exempt pensions should not be entered directly on the Mass. form. How do I resolve this issue?

I am sorry, but I tried to duplicate the error that you have described above, and could not. However, try to revisit your State of Massachusetts return by following these instructions:

While in your Tax Home,
Select State,
Select Continue,
Select Continue next to the State of Massachusetts,
Work through the on-screen prompts, looking for your tax exempt pension described above,
Correct or delete this entry.

Hopefully this helps!

what is the reason for that?

are you saying you can't file your Mass return electronically? This was the reason why I couldn't file my Massachusetts electronically.

Yes.

anthony340 · ‎June 16, 2020

was what I posted the same reason for you not being able to electronically file? What was your finally outcome?

Yes.

I mailed the return in.
