Yes, you should file a resident tax return for Pennsylvania (PA), and a non-resident tax return for both New Jersey (NJ), and Maryland (MD).

First, first make sure you've filled out the About me or Personal Info section correctly. 

 

  1. Go to the Personal profile screen, scroll down to Other State Income, and select Edit.
  2. On the Did you make money in any other states? question, answer Yes and make sure your nonresident state(s) are selected from the drop-down.
  3. Select Continue to return to the Personal profile screen.

 

To ensure accurate calculations, always complete the nonresident return first if filing in multiple states because your resident state might give you a credit for any taxes paid in that situation.

However, you may also consider If you live in a reciprocal state, submitting an exemption form to your employer so you don't have to file a nonresident return next year.  PA, NJ & MD do, have reciprocal tax agreements.

 

A state reciprocal agreement between two states allows residents of one state to request exemption from tax withholding in the other (reciprocal) state.  This can save you the trouble of having to file multiple state returns.
