Solved

In 2016 I worked in MA and lived in CT. Got laid off and received Unemployment Income from MA. How do I allocate this unemployment - 100% CT or 100% MA?

According to this: http://www.mass.gov/dor/docs/dor/forms/inctax16/f1-nrpy/form-1-nrpy-instructions.pdf it is MA source income.  As a Connecticut resident, Connecticut tax will be calculated on it as well (since it's based on all your income) but then you will get a credit for the MA tax on it so you are not double taxed.
