I called them up and said that the total for the month included a payment that I refunded. They took a minute and said: "you're right, we'll send you a new form". They said MA is a paper only state and they won't do electronic. Call them up.

I was incorrect on that.

Just talked to a turbotax CPA. Options are:
-Enter it as hobby income where even if you break even (can't be for profit), you are still taxed significantly on both federal and state.
-Enter schedule C (1 of 3 years must be be profit if you keep doing it) and you get a better tax break.
