No. Since you owe $1,200 on your state tax return, you are being subject to interest. Maryland is a pay-as-you-earn state. If your employer does withhold enough Maryland taxes from your pay, you may still be required to make quarterly estimated income tax payments if you develop a tax liability that exceeds the amount withheld by your employer by more than $500.
Per Form 502UP (Line 10), if you are a first-time filer in Maryland, you have to pay at least 90% of the current year's tax to avoid interest.
