I deducted a nonbusiness bad debt on my federal taxes this year.
When I started working on my MA state return in TurboTax, it asked me to adjust the short-term loss for the bad debt.
I dug around a bit and seemed to come to the conclusion that I'm not allowed to deduct nonbusiness bad debts on my MA state return.
I was hoping someone here could confirm that I'm right about that. :-)
Thanks.
