State tax filing
NO.. I disagree.
As a full year VA resident, crossing the border daily/weekly/occasionally to work in MD, ,,,,,,,and due to those two states being reciprocal tax states:
IF you are a W-2 employee of the MD company, and they either:
a) withhold VA taxes, or
b) no state taxes at all (as noted on yoru W-2 forms).
....then you do not file a MD tax return at all.
You would only file a MD Nonresident tax return if MD taxes were accidentally withheld for that W-2....and only to get the MD taxes refunded.
And if you are now, or occasionally Working from home, remotely...that is also is just VA income.
_______________
The issue with TTX having you prepare a MD tax form (when no MD taxes were withheld) was likely the result of you indicating you worked in another state during the year. For reciprocal tax states, you don't indicate you worked in MD....as yoru W-2 income is treated "as if" you only worked in VA. (now, if you had a self-employed 1099-NEC job where you worked that job in MD, or own a rental property in MD, then you might need a MD non-resident tax return for that income)
