Question

For the state of MA, if my 1099-R says NONTAXABLE for box 14, why do I owe taxes? I have no other income.

[Edited reply]  Is there an amount in Box 16 of the 1099-R?  Massachusetts fully exempts Social Security retirement benefits, but does tax most other forms of retirement income.

 

Please ask the issuer of the 1099-R why they entered "Nontaxable" in Box 14.  They may have really meant that no state taxes were withheld.
