State tax filing

Possibly.  Generally, if you are a nonresident or a “Safe Harbor” resident who has income from Maine
sources resulting in a Maine income tax liability, you must file a Maine income tax return.

 

The best way to check is to create a nonresident Maine return. You can do that for free in TurboTax online. Complete the Maine section. If you owe tax, file a return. Otherwise delete it.

 

Part-year residents, nonresidents and "safe harbor" residents must file a Maine return based on their total federal adjusted gross income. Your tax liability is first calculated as if you were a resident of Maine for the entire year. You are then allowed to calculate a nonresident credit on Maine Schedule NR that will reduce your Maine tax by the portion of the tax that is related to the income you earned outside the state while a nonresident or "safe harbor" resident of Maine.
