State tax filing

@jonhai --

 

I apologize for being a nitpicker, but as a resident of Indiana you definitely are a non-resident of Maryland.

 

The issue is that Maryland taxes non-residents only on Maryland-source income.

Work income is "sourced" where the work is actually (physically) performed.  (There are a few exceptions but they are not relevant to your case.)

Since your work is actually performed in Indiana, your income from that work is Indiana-source income, and therefore not subject to Maryland state income tax.

 

Think of this example:  Coca-Cola is headquartered in Atlanta, Georgia.  But that doesn't mean that all Coca-Cola employees across the country pay Georgia state income tax.  The only Coca-Cola employees who pay Georgia income tax are those who live in or physically work in Georgia.
