State tax filing

Your friend could owe tax in both states depending on each state requirements. TurboTax will tell you if it is necessary and the state can be removed if you do not need it.

 

In Virginia, there could be tax on the unemployment compensation received from Virginia.

In Maryland, he should file state taxes because he lives there now. He will get a credit for any taxes paid to Virginia. 

 

Start with completing Virginia, then add Maryland if he lived in Maryland on December 31.
