Information Worksheet for Prior Taxes

[jncnkidwell]

I am completing my state taxes for Maryland.  In fixing the "errors" it is prompting me to:

Check this Entry

Information Worksheet: Prior year tax must be entered.

Why did this worksheet not get populated from my previous year tax submission?  Where would I find this information to make sure I input the correct amount?

Assuming that you are filing a resident tax return Form 502, and "prior year tax" refers to the total Maryland personal income tax you were charged last year, then the amount that you want to enter into this field will be the 2024 Maryland 502 Line 34. Total Maryland and local tax. You can download your prior-year tax form, then print to PDF to view and locate this item using these FAQ steps:

If you've started your return already

Sign in to your TurboTax account. Make sure you're using the same TurboTax account (same user ID) as in previous years.

There are two ways to get your prior-year returns:

1. Select Documents from the menu, use the dropdown menu to choose the tax year you want, and select Download tax PDF.
2. On Tax home, scroll down and select Your tax returns & documents. Select the year you want and select Download/print return (PDF).

If the year you're looking for isn't there, it might be in a different account. Go here to find all of your accounts. One of them should have the return you're looking for.
