So I live in MA but work in both MA and RI for the same employer. My employer send me a W-2 with two copies, each with box 16 and 17 for wage in that state respectively. However, when I file my tax and do the review, I got this error message:
reason for e-file ineligibility: resident returns with other state source income and only reporting massachusetts source income from form W-2 box 16
Some suggested I should continue submitting, while others said I need to file manually or amend my W-2. Wonder what will be the best way to go?

Each state got a copy of your w2. You need to make entries to reflect reality in the program. Follow these steps:
For example: Earn $100k with $60k in RI. Enter $60k RI and $40K for MA. This will correct your error regarding income reporting.
