Massachusetts tax details

Massachusetts made a few changes for the 2025 tax year.

Massachusetts personal income tax withholding will now be reported on Schedule 62-WH. For real estate closings that occur on or after November 1, 2025, sales of Massachusetts real estate are subject to withholding when the gross sales price is greater than $1 million.

The Circuit Breaker Tax Credit maximum was increased to $2,820. There are two new credits available this year: the Homeownership Credit and the Qualified Conversion Credit.

2025 Massachusetts extension

An extension extends the time you have to file your return until up to October 15, 2026. If you need to pay taxes, you are required to pay the amount due by Invalid Date. If you pay late, you may be charged a late penalty and interest on any unpaid taxes.

Massachusetts extensions are automatic as long as at least 80% of the total amount of tax due is paid before Invalid Date.

If you need to make a payment to get an automatic extension, mail Form M-4868 with your payment by Invalid Date.

Massachusetts prior year taxes

Even though the deadline has passed, you can still prepare Massachusetts taxes for prior years. Many people who file late tax returns have refunds waiting for them. We'll help you prepare and mail your federal and state tax returns.
