I live in Massachusetts, but I work only in Rhode Island. Do I have to pay taxes in both states?

Thanks!

It depends.  You will have to file two tax returns, a Massachusetts resident return and a Rhode Island nonresident return.  Since Massachusetts will provide you with a credit for the taxes you pay to Rhode Island, you would not have to pay Massachusetts tax if the Rhode Island tax covers the entire amount.  Otherwise you could have a small amount due to Massachusetts.
