My job is located in New Hampshire, but I'd rather live in Boston because my family/friends live there. Am I responsible for paying MA state income tax? If so, will I receive an income tax refund for all the money? Appreciate your help on this.

Answer 1 :
yes, you need to pay mass tax. do your taxes and find out. why is this in travel and not taxes?
Answer 2 :
Yep, MA will tax your income from New Hampshire if you live in MA. If you paid some tax in NH, MA would give you credit for paying NH - but considering that NH doesn't have income tax, you will get to pay it all to MA. Your employer will withhold the MA tax from your paycheck. You will pay MA tax just as though you were working in MA. If your goal is to avoid state income tax, I'd move to NH and use the savings to drive to Boston when you want to see your friends.
