Received 1099 form from Massachusetts client. All Work done from Texas home State.

Box 7 in 1099-NEC has amount for MA State income (+20k).

1. Do I ignore the box 7 when doing Taxes ?

2. Need to ask the client to revise it?

3. Do I have to contact Massachusetts State Tax to revise it?

Thank you for your help.

Your client would be the one to revise it, the state of MA would not revise it. You can ignore box 7 for now, since you do not have a tax liability to MA if you never did any work in MA. However, so you do not later get a letter it would be best to ask your client to revise.
