State tax filing

It depends.

 

There are several areas where information needs to be entered to ensure your income is allocated correctly.

 

First, in the My Info section of the return, you would need to make sure you entered your residence as of December 31, 2019.  There is also a question asking if you lived in another state during the year.  You would have needed to complete the answers to both of these questions.

 

In the wages section, you should have broken out the state wages in Boxes 15-17 of the input section to reflect the wages sourced to TX and MD respectively.

 

Finally, since Texas does not have a state income tax reporting requirement, you would have needed to review your answers to your questions carefully in MD to ensure you were only reporting the income sourced to MD as opposed to everywhere.
