MASSACHUSETTS Tax Forms and Instructions
Below are the relevant links for MA State Tax information.
Massachusetts State Mandate Massachusetts returns are filed directly to the state and do not piggyback with the Federal return. IRS approved EROs will no longer need to separately apply with Massachusetts. Massachusetts will use the Federal EFIN and ETIN. Paid preparers must, under certain conditions, electronically file all Corporate, S Corp and Partnership returns and corporate extensions. Additionally, the state of Massachussetts requires personal income tax extensions with zero payment or with payments of $5,000 or more to be filed (and paid, if applicable) electronically. NOTE: Software generated forms that are printed and mailed to the Department of Revenue must contain a 2-D barcode or the return will be sent back to the taxpayer unprocessed. Income tax return preparers who completed 100 or more original Massachussetts Forms 1 and 1-NR-PY are required to use electronic means to file all personal income tax returns unless the taxpayer specifically directs on the paper form that filing be on paper.

  • Electronic Filing:
    The Department may require practitioners who have a high percentage of paper filers to retain documentation of their clients preference for paper filing. Practitioners filing 100 or more returns must file electronically unless the taxpayer specifically directs that filing be on paper. A practitioner notified by the Department must obtain a taxpayer signature on a separate form directing the practitioner to file a paper tax return. The practitioner must maintain this acknowledgement and produce it for DOR upon request. This requirement is a new administrative requirement that does not change the electronic filing mandate.
