Filing taxes - Done

I'm just about done with filing taxes and updating the three machines that still run Windows.  The Windows stuff was painful.  The taxes not so much, though it did take time.

One thing about the taxes that I'm a bit curious about.  The last few years we've gotten a federal refund but owed some state tax.  Why are Massachusetts taxes so different from federal taxes?  It doesn't make a great deal of sense particularly since some of our income is from federal securities not taxable by the state.  I guess it's just one of life's mysteries.
