Only if Pennsylvania tax has been withheld. Maryland has a reciprocal agreement, on wages, with all neighboring states. No Pennsylvania taxes should have been withheld from your pay. 

If Pennsylvania taxes were mistakenly withheld, you have to file a Pennsylvania return to claim a refund and file a Maryland return to pay the tax due. You should also ask your employer to stop withholding, so you don't have to file a Pensylvania return each year.  

Please view the TurboTax information below to print an exemption form to give to your employer.

You will also need to file a tax return in your home state of Maryland and pay tax. 

If you're using TurboTax Online and you don't need to file a Pennsylvania return then you can delete this state return and you will not be charged. please follow the instructions below to delete your Pennsylvania return.

Thank You for responding back. So do I go back in to my taxes since I only had md taxes withheld and say no to making money in another state? Can I be refunded the $44.00 for the Pa download since I haven't submitted my taxes yet?
