Adding to that burden, it's worth pointing out that if you work in MA but 
live in NH, and that residence in NH is rented, there is a double-whammy 
awaiting you - if you were renting in MA, a portion of your rent would be 
deductible on your MA income tax; residents of other states who work in MA 
are not allowed to partake of this modicum of relief. :(
