Accrued market discount

Yes, this is taxable as interest on the Massachusetts return (as well as for other states.)  

 

In order for the interest income to be tax-free at the state level it must be paid as a direct obligation of the eligible bond or fund.  Accrued market discount is not a direct obligation of the US Treasury.
