My wife's W-2 box 15 is DC, we live in MD do I need to file in DC? do I have to Submit a non resident DC form?

Just mainly doublechecking, I believe the answer is no but do I need to submit a DC state return for my wife as i think W2 box 15 means taxes paid in DC. but we live in MD.  I believe there is reciprocation between the two state entities but would like to make sure.

You would file a nonresident DC request for refund if there are DC withholdings in Box 17 reported on the W2.  DC does not tax nonresidents of DC.  If Box 17 is empty, you do not need to file the form.
