Maryland form 502 issue

issue is resolved - I interpreted something incorrectly

No.  You can’t deduct state income tax paid on the state return.  The state tax paid is either state withholding or estimates which you get credit for later on your state return.

Your Maryland itemized deductions should include your property tax and exclude your state income tax. In your example, your Maryland itemized deduction should be $45,200.
