I am an international student living on-campus in Massachusetts, which makes me a non-resident of Massachusetts.
I had an internship in California in the summer of 2010. I don't understand if I must file MA taxes or not.
My total income was more than $10,000. However, on my W-2 for MA, box 16 says $3768.80. What is considered as my "Massachusetts Gross Income"? If it's my overall income ($10,000+), then I must file taxes; but if it is the wages listed on the W-2 for Massachusetts, then $3760.80 is below the threshold for compulsory filing of MA taxes (for single non-resident -- apparently the threshold is $4400). Finally, if my MA gross income is $0, obviously I don't have to file MA taxes either.
Can anybody clarify what my Massachusetts Gross Income actually is?
