    Ksnvas:

    The answer provided by clukkes is too simplistic.

    In fact, you will need to file and pay taxes on your MA-based income for both NH and MA. When you file the NH return, NH will give you a credit for the taxes you paid to MA against the tax liability you owe to NH. That way, you are not double-taxed.

    Strongly recommend that you do not file these returns yourself. You need professional tax help. I am available for this work. You will find my rates to be very reasonable, and I can provide references from several clients who have used my services whom I have never met in person.

    It is your choice! Contact me at [email protected] if you are interested.
