I lived in Maryland for Tax year 2022 and left the state at the end of August. Since I was there over 183 days, I filed a Resident income tax return. I previously lived and filed there 2017-2021.
Ok, I reported my FULL income for the entire tax year. I am retired, do not have earned income, only retirement income from Soc Security and two small pensions, and some interest.
They sent me a bill for additional taxes, claiming that I was not entitled to the full deduction for the year in question. They reduced my $3200 standard deduction to $928! They similarly reduced my exemptions for my children. They mailed me an Income Tax Assessment which of course raised the bill.
This doesn't seem right to me. I reported my full income for the entire year, and they are more than happy to tax that, but are only giving me these partial deductions.
I did call them, and their explanation did not make any sense. They told me I should have filed a partial return in the state I moved to. I want to file a complaint about it. I don't have extra money to give them This just seems like a money grab.
