MA Part-Year Return is double counting excluded interest

[taxuser81]

I was a part-year MA resident for 2023 with interest from multiple sources, including US savings bonds.

TurboTax is subtracting my US savings bond interest twice from the taxable interest total on MA Form 1-NR/PY Schedule B Line 6. TurboTax first tallies the total US savings bond interest for the year for Line 6a. Then to calculate Line 6b, the TurboTax worksheet asks for "all interest received while living in MA from all sources", which would not include any US savings bond interest received while not a MA resident, even though that amount is already included in Line 6a. Despite the wording of the instructions, I assume MA doesn't actually want me to exclude the US savings bond interest twice from the total?

Anyone else come across this issue? Thanks!
