State tax filing

Q: "How do I accurately file taxes and fill out the MW507 form as a person domiciled in PA but a statutory resident of MD?"

A: Under these circumstances you would be liable for MD state income tax and thus would not file Form MW507 at all.  (Exception: if you live in a PA jurisdiction of York or Adams County, you would complete the MW 507 in order to exempt yourself from local MD income tax.)

 

Q: Will I end up paying taxes in both states? 

A:  Not in effect.  If you are both a statutory resident of MD and a domiciliary resident of PA, you will have to file a resident tax return in both states, reporting 100% of your income to each.  But you'll be able to claim a credit on your PA return for the tax paid to MD on the income that is taxed by both states, thus avoiding double taxation.
