Default ...excellent question!

Neighboring state tax reciprocity, as exists between some states, does not exist between New Hampshire and Massachusetts since New Hampshire has no state income tax so this is a mute issue. If New Hampshire ever gives itself a state income tax, the reciprocity agreement would be an issue as the two states both want to do what best for themselves.

Massachusetts residents are already supporting the local NH mountain and waterfront towns with their property taxes on expensive vacation homes, and there's probably not too many Mass residents working in NH so for Massachusetts a reciprocity agreement would be a money loser. Why would Mass ever agree to that?

If the 'Old Man' can fall down and get smashed into pebbles, then ditto on long-time New Hampshire tax policy! Ax the view tax!
