minimum Filing level worksheet 2024

[JWalto]

I am filing taxes for a Senior citizen in MD that does not meet the minimum filing rule.  In 2023, turbo tax generated a Minimum filing level worksheet.  I cannot figure out how to pull up the worksheet, but the income falls below the MD minimum level & Md is calculating a tax due now.  Everything is basically the same as last year, but this year it will not generate the worksheet.  Can anyone help with this?

Thanks!

The Maryland (MD) filing requirements can be found at the link below.

• Do I need to file a state return? 
  • Click on Maryland and it will take you to the filing information page. For a single person 65 or older the amount is $ 15,700.
  • If you are 65 or older, you can take advantage of several tax benefits on your Maryland return. You are allowed a higher income level before being required to file a return, and you are entitled to an additional personal exemption of $1,000. You may also qualify for a pension exclusion that increases each year, and your Social Security and Railroad Retirement benefits are not subject to Maryland tax. (Review this information on her return).

If the return for the senior citizen has taxable income below this amount then they are not required to file.

You have access to all forms when you choose to print your return in TurboTax Online/Mobile.  However you are required to pay before printing, but do not have to file until you are ready.

• Can I print a copy of my return in TurboTax Online before filing?

If you are using TurboTax Desktop you can switch to Forms and review all forms and worksheets.

Hi Diane,

   Thanks for responding.  The minimum level actually increased this year to $16,550 (Turbo tax is directing us to 2023 forms).  The return I'm doing is less, however, Turbo Tax is not acknowledging that moves on to calculate a tax due.  Last year it used a "Minimum level filing worksheet" & it calculated it correctly.  This year the worksheet will not even come up & I can't figure out how to get to it.  I called the State of MD, & they said Turbo Tax may be calculating wrong.  I spoke with Turbo Tax & I have not heard back.
