State of Massachuseets allows $200.00 of interest from Mass banks to be exempt from income. Turbo Tax does not seem to be picking that exemption up this year?

To make sure you receive the $200 interest exclusion on your MA return, please follow these steps:
- After you enter the interest in the federal return, you will see a screen, Tell us if any of these uncommon situations apply to you.
- Mark the box My interest isn't taxable in my state. (See Screenshot #1, below.)
- Select Massachusetts from the dropdown list and click Continue.
- When you get to the MA return, you will see an Interest and Dividends screen that shows the $200 excludable bank interest. (Screenshot #2)

So is this correct for filing State of Mass taxes for tax year 2019?

Yes, I have confirmed this. After you've entered the interest there is a section with checkboxes. The third one down says Our state doesn't tax all of this interest and you can select Massachusetts.
