I live in New York state but get W-2 income from Maryland. When I scan the W-2 for the federal tax, the turbo tax entered the state withheld as New York, rather than Maryland.

When I working on the state of Maryland in the Turbo Tax, I able to manually change the state withheld on the form 505 (nonresident), However, when I working on the New York State at the Turbo Tax I am not able to change the amount into zero. Please help. Thank you

You need to correct the w2 in the federal section to show MD as the state with taxes and income. Go back to federal income, edit your w2. You should only show one line on your w2 for the state section, MD. The program will pull all income into NY automatically.

What state is in box 15 on the actual W2? If you're not sure ask your employer.

Dear Sir/Madam

I do really appreciate if I can call you, please provide the phone number to reach you

I am working remotely from New York state since july 2013 and my Box # 15 always MD, and filled nonresident tax for MD and resident for NY. However starting the 2022 tax year my Box #15 is NY. I asked my employer told me "Per Central Payroll, the withholding was for NY and sent to NY. Due to the amount of employees living and working in other states, this is the first year CPB has made the change to remit the taxes to the appropriate entity. They wwe not remitted to MD."

When I finished federal (W-2 upload via pdf), and start the Maryland return, I am surprised that I have to pay tax in the amount almost the same as Box#17 while NY state I will get refund slight larger than than of Box# 17. It seems something wrong, based on the TurboTax for Maryland tax for nonresident is 1.25%.

I do really appreciate if you can help please.

The next questions, how about the previous taxes return that I had submitted since 2013 where Box #15 always MD.

Thank you very much
