Thank you so much. I just spoke with a VA tax dept rep who essentially said what you did and added that I need to send a copy of the VA tax return to MD and MD return to VA when filing with both of them. He said I should enter the amount of taxes paid to MD on the VA return in the "over payment credit" field which should take off the overpayment penalty and sending the MD return will be enough proof for them. He didn't say I needed to attach a separate note, but told me to check with MD to see what they require. I have not been able to get MD rep on the phone.
Some questions specific to TT functionality:
- Since I already started the VA return in TT, am I able to hold off on completing that return then pay for another state return for MD and complete the non-resident MD return in TT first then go back to the VA return?
- Do I need to delete the VA return before adding another state return in TT for MD? If I do that, will I have to pay for VA state again even though that was the one state return that was included without extra fees (I am on TT Deluxe Desktop version)?
- If I am to complete the VA after MD, will the information already entered on the federal and MD returns auto-populate correctly into the VA return, including the overpayment credit amount, or will I need to manually enter that into the TT VA return (and is that easy to find)?
- Finally, do you know if TT allows another state's return to be attached (along with the federal return) when e-filing, or will I need to physically mail them both in?
Thank you again.
