Yes, you can amend your state return. Your federal return does not change based on your state residency, so unless you need to change your income or deductions, you can amend the state only.

I am assuming you are on active duty in the military since you said you were stationed in New York.

When you are in the military and are stationed in a different state, you file your taxes as a resident of your home of record state. If you have only military income, you don't have to file in the state where you are stationed.

If you have non-military income where you are stationed, such as a part time job, a spouse with a non-military job or a side business, that non-military income is taxable where you are stationed. 

To amend your state only in TurboTax:

1. Sign in to TurboTax.
2. On the home screen, scroll down to Your tax returns & documents and select the year you want to amend.
3. Select Amend (change) return, then Amend using TurboTax Online.
4. On the screen OK, let's get a kickstart on your 2022 amended return, select  youThe IRS or state sent me a notice (this will allow you to amend onlyr state return without making changes to your federal) and Continue.
5. On the next screen, select Something Else and Continue.
6. On the screen Tell us which 2022 return(s) you want to amend, select 2022 state.
7. Continue until the Let's Amend your State Taxes screen. Select Amend next to your state return, and continue through the screens to make your amendments.

You can amend your return to change your residency.  If you did have earnings in Texas in December, those earnings would not go on your Maryland (MD) tax return. If the income you received in December was from a MD source, then that income would not be taxable to MD since they did not change the rules for remote workers due to COVID.

The amended form will be ready later in the year. By using the link, Tax Forms Availability, you can continue to check to see when it's ready. If you decide you do need to amend use the steps in the link below.

If there is no change to your state return, then you do not need to amend.
