I live in MD but work in PA. I paid MD taxes. Do I have to claim my income earned in PA as taxable in PA?

No, if you live in MD and your only source of PA income is wages, you will only need to file a MD resident state income tax return to report all income from all sources (including your PA wage income).

MD has what is called a state reciprocal agreement related to wages with PA. This allows nonresidents to not have state withholding taxes taken out for wages earned in these states.

Just make sure to 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.

Please note that you will not have a delete option until you actually start working on the state. Select that you want to start the state return under the state taxes tab. The system will start calculating. Then go back into the state tab at the top of the screen and you should now get a choice for that state to either continue or delete. You won't be charged for just starting the state return. You would only be charged (if applicable) when you are getting ready to file.
