In April 2022, after filing my taxes with TurboTax and charged taxes on my CA unemployment. I lived in MD all of 2020, but still received my CA UI due to the pandemic UI rules. I was angry and confused by this! After many calls to TurboTax, MD State Legislators I was given the appropriate office/person to speak to.
I spoke with The Maryland Comptrollers office and was informed legislation was made so that NO Unemployment Insurance payments should be taxed by MD. I was instructed to do an amended return with an adjustment made in the section that has the unemployment claimed as income. I amended my return through Turbo Tax - having to tell the agent what MD Comptrollers told me to do step-by-step..., mailed the amended return (502X) to MD Comptrollers addressed as advised, and I got a confirmation of receipt 2 weeks ago. They said it may take up to 8 weeks or more before they can review my amended return. I am now awaiting the results of their decision. I will keep you posted on the final outcome.
