How do I get a refund, via my income tax return, for Maryland non-resident seller transfer withholding tax that shouldn't have been paid during the sale of my home?
I lived in my MD home from 2013 to 2017, and sold it in mid 2019. I lived out of state from 2017 to late 2019, and rented out my MD home until a few months before it was sold.
To obtain a refund of the Maryland non-resident seller transfer withholding you would file a Maryland non resident Form 505. Line 44 is where you would enter the amount withheld. See Maryland Tax Booklet - Form 505.
You will need to add Maryland as a state in TurboTax and file as a non resident.

I moved back to Maryland in December of 2019. Therefore, as of right now, I am filing as a part-year resident for both Maryland and Pennsylvania. Does that make a difference?
