Your state of residence should be the one you resided in on the last day of 2021. In your case, it is Maryland.

Is Maryland also your home state while you were on active duty in CA)? Otherwise, you have two part-year resident states.

IF you were already in MD when you retired....for the two part-year tax returns, for tax purposes, you effectively "moved" from CA to MD on your military retirement date.
