It depends. Nonresident for 2024, since you started on July 1st and you did come home on certain weekends you could be considered a nonresident. You would not be able to count 183 days or more than 6 months.
For 2025, if you are at the same job all year then you will be defined as a resident.
- Resident -Your permanent home is or was in Maryland (the law refers to this as your domicile). OR your permanent home is outside of Maryland, but you maintained a place of abode (that is, a place to live) in Maryland for more than six months of the tax year. If this applies to you and you were physically present in the state for 183 days or more, you must file a full-year resident return.
- Nonresident - Your permanent home (domicile) is in a state other than Maryland, unless you are a statutory resident.
- Statutory resident - You maintain and occupy a place of abode (that is a place to live) for more than 6 months of the tax year in Maryland.
Great News! Pennsylvania (PA) and Maryland (MD) are reciprocal states. Here is what that means:
You will file as a full year Pennsylvania (PA) resident, count all of your income and pay your tax to PA. MD should refund any state income tax withheld since you are a nonresident.
