Worked in different states

"I'm a MD resident and worked in MD Jan 2016. I was transferred to KS in Feb 2016 and stayed there until July 2016. I then moved to TX and became a resident. I have a W2 from MD (they took tax out) and another W2 from KS (state tax also taken out). I know I need to file with MD.....do I need to file with KS or can I somehow indicate to MD the amount of tax that KS took out. Also, the Box #1 on each W2 (MD and KS) differ by about 1%"

Since you worked in KS, you will file with KS as well as MD for 2016. (TX has no state income tax so you don't file there.)

*IF* you were still a MD resident while working in KS, you should be able to claim a credit on your MD return for your net income tax paid (NOT withheld) to KS; but you will still have to file a KS return first. Your KS withholding will be applied to your KS tax return.

Thanks for the informative response.  Any thoughts on why the W2 Box 1(wages, tips, etc)  total is not the sum of the KS and MD Box 16 (State wages) ?
