As with all these stories, need to be taken with a nice handful of salt. Owning a business in MA would make it seem like you would qualify for state taxation (on that part at least).

The US taxes its citizens even outside of their own jurisdiction. It wouldn't surprise me if MA taxed people that still made money in MA.

All states (that have an income tax) do. I own property, which I rent, in multiple states including MA. I need to file tax returns for the income I make in each of them. Nothing unusual there.
