Thank you for your response. So I should first complete at NYS state return and move those numbers to my Maryland return? I guess the what I don't understand is how to arrive at a negative number Tax Paid to NY. On the MD return it asks for taxes paid to another state. If I add NY, it wants me to provide a dollar amount for Double Taxes Income (in this case a negative number) and then Tax Paid to NY on Double Taxed Income (there is no tax paid to NY because the income was a loss). If I put in the negative dollar amount for Double Taxed Income to NY and then zero for Tax Paid to NY, nothing changes on my Maryland return. Thanks again for your help with this.
