How to calculate Maryland "Income received during Non-residency"

[weafrique]

How do I calculate income received during non-residency for the scenario below? Adding box 1 from the two W2s for work done outside of Maryland, for myself and spouse is $5000 more than what was has been stated in the screenshot below . Adding box 5 is even more.

The calculation for income received during the nonresidency period can be completed in one of two ways.

1. Use your statements and/or pay stubs immediately before you moved into Maryland (MD) to arrive at the amount (interest, dividends, wages). For wages use state wages box or if not the same as box 1 you can use box 1. 
2. If all income is received evenly throughout the tax year you can divide by 12 then multiply by the nonresident months to arrive at your total.

My spouse and I have w2 for work done before moving to Maryland. I axpected this to be straightforward by adding wages earned on these W2. as previously stated, when values in box one is added, the amount is $5000 greater than what has been stated in the screenshot.

Thank you for your information. When I go to the screen 'Additional Info for Part Year Residents' then enter the 'Non Maryland Income' this changes the screen you show in your question. 

Try entering the actual total non resident income, then go back to the screen 'Two Income marriage Deduction' under Miscellaneous on the screen 'Here's the income that Maryland handles differently'.

Please update here if you have additional questions and we will help.
