The state of New Hampshire announced Friday it will file a federal lawsuit against Massachusetts over its cross-border income tax collection policies during the pandemic.
The lawsuit centers on a Massachusetts emergency provision that caps how much income out-of-state residents who work for Massachusetts-based companies can deduct on their income taxes while working remotely.
Despite receiving complaints from New Hampshire elected officials, Massachusetts issued a public notification earlier Friday that it would extend the controversial policy through at least the end of the calendar year.
The policy negatively affects tens of thousands of New Hampshire residents who previously commuted across the state’s southern border for work, but are now working from home due to the coronavirus pandemic.

“Because every single one of those vials that’s being used for a congressman or a senator that has been doing nothing, that hasn’t been on the front lines, is another vial of vaccine that isn’t going to a nurse or a resident in a long-term care facility,” Sununu explained of why he is so upset with them.
