Maryland says, "Maryland provides a deduction for two-income married couples who file a joint income tax return. When both you and your spouse have taxable income, you may subtract up to $1,200 or the income of the spouse with the lower income, whichever is less. The income can be from wages, pensions, or business income." (Maryland Income Tax FAQ)
The tax credit does not count for income as defined by "wages, pensions, or business income", therefore, for purposes of the Maryland two-income subtraction, you don't have two incomes, so, no subtraction.
Go to the Two-Income Married Couple Subtraction worksheet on page 10 at https://www.marylandtaxes.gov/forms/19_forms/Resident_Booklet.pdf and see if the tax credit comes into play here (I don't believe it does).
