Good afternoon itonewbie,

I can't thank you enough for your clarification. I've contacted both MA/NH tax departments without a clarification on how to proceed. In fact MA DOR stated that the 2020 MA NR tax forms wouldn't have a place to apportion income for anyone this year. This was  disturbing to me for the clients whose apportionment has nothing to do with the virus are penalized. They apparently are simply taking a position that will affect all out of state employees, virus or not.

I will follow your sage advice. Now I can advise clients that  we won't be apportioning their MA earned income until and unless the matter pending is resolved. Should this be the case after filing, we will  amend their MA tax returns accordingly.

By the way, I hadn't thought of the possibility that employee's MA Unemployment could be seriously effected should the income not be considered "MA income".

And I thought I knew everything! Much more humble as I proceed into 2021. Happy new year to you and your family.

Bob
