While this answers the question (in it's own way) I still find it ridiculous that this is very much hidden in MD (while very obvious in NY). Evidently I missed something in the MD "interview" and, frankly, I am still unable to find it when I go back to make the needed changes. There should be a MD worksheet for this, even if MD does not actually publish one. AND THERE SHOULD BE A VERY OBVIOUS ENTRY POINT TO THIS IN THE MD INTERVIEW that is easily located when one is going back manually. I had to correct the TT entry on MD 502 Line 12 to proceed. Automatically transferring the data may be too difficult but leading the user thru the steps to make it correct is what I thought I was paying for.
When the MD Review is performed it should be flagged to the user if there are no entries. This was a situation with an easy test, simply checking if the non-W2 data in MD was different that the MD data. It was the same as the Federal data. Should have been flagged.
After being with TT from the very beginning (remember the floppy disks?) I expected more and certainly did not get it.
HOW DO I FLAG THIS TO TT MANAGEMENT?
While I continue to recommend TT, I am more reserved now for part-time residents, especially MD. (NY is fine.) The one person I recommended TT to this week (another former NY resident) took my reservations to heart and got a competitive product. His data transferred as expected, with flags and links to check against the MD rules. In his case no changes were required. Fortunately I do not expect to move from NY to MD again.
