cataxdude2002 Posted March 5, 2008 Report Posted March 5, 2008 I can see how to prorate the wages but I can't find where in the return to prorate interest, dividends and royalties between California and Mass. MASS is the only state more complicated than CA. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Quote
cataxdude2002 Posted March 5, 2008 Author Report Posted March 5, 2008 Sch R/NR Wendy From what I have read, I only fill out this form if while a non resident, there was MA source income, which there was not. That is what it says at the top of the form. Quote
joanmcq Posted March 6, 2008 Report Posted March 6, 2008 Yeah, you only fill out the R/NR if MA income is earned while an NR. MA source Interest goes on line 7a, and there is a nice exclusion for up to $2000. Wages should flow based on the W-2. There is a worksheet for line 14a on which you put resident and nonresident income. I'm in the middle of one where the guy was NR but telecommuted to MA. Not taxable to MA. But his employer reported MA income. And I agree, this return is as bad as the CA one. NY is a pretty good horrorshow too. But at least I'm really familiar with CA! Quote
