State tax filing

I agree with @SteamTrain.

 

The VA-MD reciprocity agreement states that Virginia residents who:

 

  • Work in Maryland, Pennsylvania, or West Virginia, are exempt from taxation in their respective state if:
    • They are present in the other state for 183 days or less during the year, and
    • Do not maintain an abode, such as a house or apartment, in their respective state and
    • Receive only wage or salary income in the other state
    • https://www.tax.virginia.gov/reciprocity

Therefore, if you meet those criteria, there is no need for you to file an MD tax return.  In that case, in the Personal Info section of TurboTax you would answer No the question about having income from another state. (Answering No will prevent the program from incorrectly generating an MD tax return.)   Your income would be taxable only by your home state of VA.  Additionally, if you haven't already done so, you should file MD Form MW507 with your MD employer so that MD taxes will not be incorrectly withheld from your pay.
