JonesTaxPro Posted February 10, 2012 Report Share Posted February 10, 2012 I am trying to figure out where to put the MA income earned on a Non-Resident? Reading the instructions, but any help would be appreciated. Taxpayer has 7 states and this is the only "problem-child". Would like to get this return done soon so he can get his refund!! Thanks all.

Catherine Posted February 11, 2012 Report Share Posted February 11, 2012 Hi Sara -- Massachusetts has some bizarre stuff on their returns. Make sure you have checked the "Nonresident" checkbox above Line 1 on the form. Line 3 will show TOTAL income. Line 5 should show Mass-sourced income. The jump-bunny will take you to the Line 5 worksheet, where you can check those figures. Lines 15a and 15b are adjustments for amounts paid to Soc Sec/Medi/Mass retirement; those likely WILL need to be adjusted. The only deduction there is for amounts tied to Mass-sourced income. Nonresidents shouldn't have any adjustment for rental deduction, nor should they have any Use Tax due. Hope this helps; if not re-post, send a private message, or even call me for a walk-through.

TaxCPANY Posted February 11, 2012 Report Share Posted February 11, 2012 Ditto Catherine, And, I've been serving a non-MA-resident S-corp owner with an office in Dedham, for decades -- as well as non-MA-resident athletes who 'play' there. So, please feel free to tell me what's hanging your filer up. VTY, TaxCPANY Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
