Do I subtract all of Social security benefits on line 11 of Maryland state form?

Do I subtract my entire Social Security Benefit on line 11 of Maryland state tax form?

[JamesG1]

Yes, the entire taxable portion of your Social Security benefits are subtracted on line 11 of the Maryland form 502.

The taxable portion is deducted from the Federal adjusted gross income to compute the Maryland adjusted gross income.

Hello James,

My turbo tax Maryland State form which was completed does not deduct the total of my husband and my benefits.  It has reduced the total by almost 11000 dollars.  Why is that?

Thank you,

Linda

Maryland will deduct only the taxable portion of your Social Security benefits.

The taxable portion will be found on line 6b of the Federal 1040 tax return.  The total benefit will be found on line 6a.  See here.

Is this the same amount that you are seeing on line 11 of the Maryland 502 tax form?
