What forms do i need for maryland when i live in NYC and have employment income from maryland

[beatricesbirch]

I physically worked in New York City for a Maryland firm.  I did not work physically in Maryland.

If you worked in New York, then you don't have "employment income from Maryland." You have employment income from New York. It doesn't matter where the company is located. What matters is where you worked.

Does your W-2 have a line of state information for MD in boxes 15 - 17? If not, you do not have to file a Maryland tax return.

If you physically worked in Maryland, your earnings from that work are taxable by Maryland, and you must file a non-resident Maryland tax return in addition to your regular NY resident tax return.  Like other states, MD taxes non-residents on income earned from physically working within its borders.  The requirement does not apply to residents of reciprocal states, but MD and NY are not reciprocal states. If you never physically worked in MD, there is no requirement to file an MD tax return unless you had some other type of MD-source income, such as rental income from a property located in MD.

When you prepare your Maryland tax return in TurboTax it will automatically prepare the proper forms.

Prepare your Maryland nonresident tax return first, then your New York resident tax return. You will get a credit on your New York tax return for part or all of the tax that you pay to Maryland.
