Except your fate buddy. If the business is located in Massachusetts and you are not a contracted individual therefore you are an employee within the state of Massachusetts regardless of where you work or live. Source, I live and work in New Hampshire but my company is located in Massachusetts. Your only recourse is to become a contracted employee making your home address your business location or go full remote and never bring the car back.

This is not true. Don’t listen to this guy. Given OPs unique situation, he is fucked and needs to report that as Mass income. If you’re a nonresident working for a Mass based company, you can apportion wages based on the days actually in Mass.

You need to apportion your income, you’re literally giving money to the state that you shouldn’t. The below is cut directly from the MA.Gov site

Example (5)(a)(1.2). A telecommuter works for a Massachusetts firm, mainly out of her home in Ohio. The telecommuter works a total of 240 days during the tax year, and is in Massachusetts on 60 of those days. Her salary is $120,000 per year. Her Massachusetts source income is $30,000, calculated as follows:

$120,000 x _____ 60_______ = $30,000
