No, Maryland and Virginia have a reciprocal agreement. That means you can report Virginia wages on your Maryland tax return the same way you would as if you had earned the wages in your home state. Unless you lived in Virginia for a part of the year, you have no filing obligation based on the facts you shared. Ignore the prompts to file in Virginia.
