I'm working on the MA tax return. I need to enter the non-MA portion of the amount I paid to FICA. Do I enter the same amt in the All States column or zero?

I lived in MA for the first 1/2 of 2021.  I moved out of state but continue to work for MA company remotely.

Multiple your W-2 Box 3 Social Security wages to September 13 by 6.2% and your Box 5 Medicare wages and tips by 1.45% for the Non-MA Portion.
