I found this on the Maine Gov site: Minimum taxability thresholds. A nonresident individual working in Maine as an employee is not required to pay a Maine tax or file a Maine return on income from personal services unless that individual works in Maine for more than 12 days and earns or derives income from all Maine sources totaling more than $3,000. Up to 24 days performing certain personal services, such as training and site inspections, are not counted against the 12-day threshold. Also, generally, a nonresident individual present in Maine for business for no more than 12 days and earning no more than $3,000 from business activity in Maine is not required to pay a Maine tax or file a Maine return on that income.
I worked in Maine for only 8 days, but made over $3,000. Based on the statement above, I should not have to file Maine State Taxes. My employer did withhold state taxes for Maine and TurboTax is calculating that I actually owe even more to Maine than what my employer withheld. If, technically, I shouldn't even have to file taxes for Maine, how is TurboTax coming up with the calculation that I owe even more than what was already withheld?
