Deductions & credits
Hi @MaryK4 , thank you for this info, just want to clarify here. I went back to my employer and asked them about this, and they stated that these taxes are reflected in the box for Maryland taxes. For me - there is a number in Box 16 (State wages, tips etc), and a number in Box 17 (State income tax). The boxes that do not have anything entered for Maryland is in Box 18 (Local wages, tips, etc), Box 19 (Local income tax), and Box 20 (Locality name).
I lived in Maryland for the second half of the year, but my "primary" work place is not Maryland.
I looked at my last paystub in December of 2024 at the Year to Date number for the Maryland + Baltimore taxes. I added these two YTD numbers, and they do match the number shown in Box 17 for me for Maryland. But nothing listed in 18,19,20.
Since the numbers do add up (Box 17 and the YTD numbers for Maryland + Baltimore taxes from my paystub), I assume that everything is captured correctly. If I lived (but didn't work in) Maryland, does it matter for my tax purposes whether the amounts are in Box 17, or Box 18-19-20? Are they supposed to be in Box 17, or 18-19-20? I don't think this is an issue but please let me know if it would be.
