You will only need to file an MD resident state income tax return to report all income (including your VA -source wages). You will not have to file a VA nonresident state income tax return.

VA and MD have what is called a state reciprocal agreement. This allows nonresidents to not have state withholding taxes taken out for wages earned in the state.

Since you will not have an VA state income tax filing, just check that you selected "no" to " Did you make money in any other states?" under the Personal Information section in TurboTax (see screenshots)

You can get rid of a state without clearing your federal return by just deleting the state from your list of states under the "State Taxes" tab

If you purchased an VA state income tax return in error, you will need to contact customer support to request a refund.
