Thanks for this detailed feedback. I went through the steps you discussed and it appears that TT did everything exactly as you said. I went and read the instructions for Maryland form 505 and 505NR and it appears all was calculated properly. So...my employer gave me bad information I guess. This all originally started when I wanted to raise the amount of MD taxes withheld for 2020 so I would not have to pay an underpayment penalty. It is when I asked them about changing my withholdings that they wrote back "In addition, I wanted to add a little more information that may assist you. If you live and work outside the state of Maryland, typically you would not owe taxes to Maryland (unless there is an old/outstanding tax debt, you lived in Maryland for a partial year, etc.)."
So I guess I need to circle back with them and increase my withholdings, as originally planned.
Thanks again.
Dave
