I am on the Non-Massachusetts Portion of Deductions page. I live in MA but work for a business in another state. I just moved to MA in the middle of 2024. I am a contract worker, so nothing has been taken out for taxes. How do I know what to put? It says to put how much I've paid which is $0 because I am a contract worker, but then it says to put $0 if everything is MA sourced but I don't work in MA. Thanks-

This section is looking at the expenses that can be attributed to the income you earned while you were a Massachusetts resident. One method is to use the same proportion for deductions based on the proportion of income attributed to Massachusetts- so if you made 50% of the income, you can use 50% of deductions. The TurboTax entry is looking for what is NOT Massachusetts sourced.
