I have always lived and worked in the zero local income tax state of New Hampshire. Last year I did a contract work for a company in Massachusetts for three months and for about $5,000. Do I have to file local tax with the MA state? Does it have to be filed at the same time with the federal tax? TIA

Where did you do the work? If you worked in Massachusetts, you owe Massachusetts tax. If all your work was done in New Hampshire, you do not owe anything to Massachusetts. Katie in San Diego
The foregoing is intended for educational purposes only and does not constitute legal or professional advice.
If you did the work in Mass., you will owe tax to Mass, and the tax return is due on April 15th, same as Federal. You can find non-resident forms at the Mass. DOR website,
