I'm filing single taxpayer. I reside in CT. Received CT unemployment in 2021 (Jan-Feb) based on previous CT jobs. Did work in MA later in 2021, did not live there. Turbo tax MA state thinks my CT 1099-G (unemployment) is FROM MA!

Review Non-Massachusetts Unemployment

The below entry for Non-MA Portion of Unemployment Compensation results in less Massachusetts

Unemployment than the amount withheld for Massachusetts from it. Please review.

WHAT?? Nothing was withheld from my CT unemployment for MA. Fed and CT taxes were withheld from my CT unemployment.

What am I missing here, please? Or is this a bug? If it's a bug, how to work around it?

As you assign your income to Non-MA portion, you will see your MA balance due decreases or refund increases.

Here are two of the screens you will see when preparing your MA return:
