Will I file a MD tax return and owe them money, and a VA and ME tax return too?

If you did not live in or physically work in MD or VA at...

If you did not live in or physically work in MD or VA at all in 2016*, then you're not required to file a tax return in either state. Location of an employer's home office is irrelevant; the issue for tax purposes is where you physically worked. If this is the case, you would only have to file a tax return in your home state of ME. ALL your income would be taxable by ME.

*or have other income from an MD or VA source, such as rental income from a property located in one of those states.

Even though not required, you would have to file a non-resident return in VA showing zero VA income, in order to receive a refund of those incorrectly withheld VA taxes.
