Maryland and West Virginia have a reciprocal agreement, and you only pay tax on your wages in your home state. Your wages are not subject to MD income tax.
First make sure you've filled out the Personal Info section correctly:
- With your return open, select My Info in the left-hand menu.
- Then, on the Personal info summary screen, scroll down to Other State Income, and select Edit.
- At 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.
- Select Continue to return to your Personal info summary.
On the state return:
- Select the long form (if the option is available) even if TurboTax defaults to the short form.
- Only report the income attributable to the nonresident state.
- If preparing a nonresident return solely to recover erroneous tax withholdings, enter 0 on the screen that asks for the amount of income earned in that state. This will eliminate your tax liability for that state, resulting in a full refund.
- Since you live in a Reciprocal states , consider submitting an exemption form to your employer so you don't have to file a nonresident return next year.
Always file the non-resident state return first.
