MA resident Form 1 is duplicating income from a W-2 that shows CT wages and identical MA wages but the actual wages were earned only in CT (non-resident). There should be a box that corrects this situation similar to the MA Non-Resident form "Massachusetts Duplicate Wages Exclusion Smart Worksheet" Column D "Exclude Duplicate State Wages" check box which would be checked for MA.

Intuit just isn’t consistent with its state software….

NJ has a worksheet like you describe to exclude duplicate wages that flow from other line entries on the W2…. But they bury it  a couple layers under the wages on the NJ 1040… took me a few years to accidentally trip on it…. ny has an allocation worksheet and PA has something I’d rather not try to describe…. 

Keep searching… it’s probably in there somewhere 

 

 

 

 

If at first you don’t succeed…..find a workaround
