State tax filing

Yes, Maryland (MD) is a reciprocal state for Pennsylvania (PA).  Enter the W-2 as it is however made sure all of your wages are taxed to PA..  If there is no MD withholding, then you do not need to file the MD return. File all wages to PA and enter only PA withholding as shown on your W-2.

 

You  must obtain a refund from MD and pay the necessary tax to PA including all income ONLY if there is MD tax withheld.  

 

Reciprocity:

A reciprocal agreement, also called reciprocity, is an agreement between two states that allows residents of one state to request exemption from tax withholding in the other (reciprocal) state. This can save you the trouble of having to file multiple state returns.
