I reside in PA, worked (only) in MD for 6 months in 2023 from 1/1-6/7. My employer did not withhold PA state tax, only MD state tax. I questioned this multiple times but always got the same general answer of ‘Oh yea it’s fine you will get refunded all of the MD tax and you will just pay your PA state tax out of that’…mind you MD tax is a little over double what PA is.
Well after July 7 I quit and went back to my old job in PA. But as I dig into all of this I am realizing I will probably be liable for an underpayment penalty and daily interest on tax due, since no PA tax was withheld. Will I have to file a Refund of MD state tax? Or file a MD state return? I normally do my own taxes but should I get them professionally done and HOPE that they can sort this all out/get the correct forms filed?
