Living in MD, working in DC, filing jointly. When submitting W-4 to my employer, should I choose exempt from State income taxes?

[ToddL · Accepted solution]

No - you would be exempt from DC withholding and taxes, but you are subject to MD withholding and taxes.

You need to submit  form D-4A to your employer make sure DC taxes aren't withheld. 

You need to submit  form MW507 to your employer make sure MD taxes are withheld.
