I paid $3100 in Soc Sec deductions (box 4) and $725 in box 6 Medicare, yet my Mass return shows only $2000 deduction on line 11a on the MA return, Is this right?

Those aren’t the same thing. It’s deducting the federal taxable amount from your 1040 line 6b.
Up to 85% of Social Security becomes taxable when all your other income plus 1/2 your social security, reaches:
Married Filing Jointly: $32,000
Single or head of household: $25,000
Married Filing Separately: 0
