Partial year resident of Maryland but still have nonresident income from MD (move to a state without reciprocal agreements)

Hi There,

 

During the last year, I lived in Maryland for the first half of my year and then moved to New Jersey. But I worked for the Maryland employer for the whole year. In my understanding, I am a partial-year resident of MD, with the first half part of my wages of the MD employer subjected to the resident tax in  MD, and the second half part of my wages subjected to the non-resident tax rate. However, the form MD-502 does not have a place to discriminate the resident and non-resident parts of my income, and a local tax rate (higher than the additional non-resident tax rate) applies to the whole part of my income. In this case, how should I file my MD tax return. Is it OK that I just go with the current way of filing for simplicity? Since the total tax I pay to MD is higher then what exactly it is?

 

Thank you!
