I started working for an employer since August 2021. I lived in Iowa from January to August 2021. My employer is in Maryland but I started working remotely from Iowa. Then I moved to Maryland in September 2021. I am filing state income tax for Iowa and Maryland and I was told that I am part year resident in both Iowa and Maryland.
For Iowa filing, it told me enter income from Iowa sources. I am putting the total wage I earned from my employer during my time as an Iowa resident. Is this correct ? I believe Iowa sources income is defined as income earned while performing the work in that state, regardless of the employer's location.
For Maryland filing, I was asked to put in non-Maryland income. Should I put the wage I got paid as an Iowa resident (the wage above) ?
Lastly, my W-2 specified two states and the wages I got from each state accordingly in boxes 16. Should both of them add up to box 1 in W-2 (Total Federal Taxable Income) ? I only lived and worked in these two states in 2021. My filing status is Single.
