MD exempts the interest in box 3 and the dividends in box 11 on the 1099-DIV. When you mark it correctly in the federal section, it shows up automatically in the state section.

If you are not seeing that automatically, please return to the federal section. Edit the 1099-DIV and follow these steps.

You should have income in either box 3, box 11 or both.
