How to compute the "Total Adjustment Requested" when filing a dispute following a tax audit from Massachusetts?
I got audited by the state of Massachusetts, USA, due to a mistake I did when filing my 2015 Form 1 (mirror). The audit's conclusion was that I have to pay 1000 USD to Massachusetts, and in addition 150 USD for interest. I am filing a dispute, where I claim that Massachusetts owes me 50 USD.
What should I write in the "Total Adjustment Requested"?
Should it be:
1000 + 50 = 1050 USD
-(1000 + 50) = -1050 USD
1000 + 150 + 50 = 1200 USD
-(1000 + 150 + 50) = -1200 USD
something else?
