Hard to know....have you run thru the MD part-year tax return income allocations yet....if not, then you have to do that before the tax amount will be (nearly) correct.
First thing to note, is that your Federal section must be completely filled out with every scrap of income, Deductions & Credits before you venture into either of the VA Part-year or MD part-year interviews. You change anything in the Federal sections and it screws up the state sections.
Once the Federal is fully prepared (but not filed) you have to run each of the state's part year interviews to indicate what sub-part of the Federal income was received while a resident of each state. As an example: you had say, $100 of interest income during the year.....in the interview, you'll have to show each state how much was received by your accounts when you lived in that state....same goes for Dividends and Capital Gains. Mutual fund distributions are a particular problem since major portions are usually issued in Nov/Dec....so that Nov/Dec income would all be tagged as MD income. SO...monthly records of all your accounts are critical to dividing it all up.
Up until you actually do those state interviews...the state sections will consider (almost) ALL the Federal income as belonging to that state. You did indicate your move in the My Info section didn't you?....that has to be done to trigger the part-year tax returns for each state.
Certainly the reciprocal tax agreement between MD and VA could complicate the prep....but it should still be doable.
And you may have to run thru everything a few times before you get it right...don't rush, and don't touch either of the state parts until EveryThing is filled in properly and completely in the Federal taxes section, with nothing left to deal with.
