I registered my c corp at Delaware, and doing business at MA. Does that mean I have to file both DE and MA state tax return? Since I only efiled DE tax return 2020, how can I file MA now? Thanks.

You should seek guidance from a tax professional familiar with state filing requirements.

However, generally, if you are doing business in MA, you are required to file a return.

Thanks.

But I still have some questions.

In the website it said

"Generally, all corporations operating in Massachusetts, both foreign and domestic, need to pay corporate excise tax. "

and" While only businesses that:

Receive gross receipts and sales greater than $100,000 annually, and
Generate all their net taxable income in Massachusetts

Are required to file electronically, we encourage all corporations to file online. Any business entity that pays federal taxes as a corporation is also taxable in Massachusetts as a corporation."

So far my business's gross receipts and sales less than $100,000, do I still have to file tax return?

Thanks
