MA resident with 2018 income from GA + RI. Taxes on income were paid to GA + RI. Do I file MA return (& pay taxes owed) *and* GA + RI returns (3 state returns in all)?

Yes, you do need to file a MA tax return. Ma will assess tax on all your income, but should allow a credit for tax paid to the other states. See this article for more info:
