It depends on how long you resided in Maryland in 2016.

According to the Maryland Department of Revenue, your Maryland residency status will be:

  • Resident -Your permanent home is or was in Maryland (the law refers to this as your domicile). OR your permanent home is outside of Maryland, but you maintained a place of abode (that is, a place to live) in Maryland for more than six months of the tax year. If this applies to you and you were physically present in the state for 183 days or more, you must file a full-year resident return.
  • Nonresident - Your permanent home (domicile) is in a state other than Maryland, unless you are a statutory resident. 
  • Statutory resident - You maintain and occupy a place of abode (that is a place to live) for more than 6 months of the tax year in Maryland.
  • Part-Year Residents - If you either established or abandoned Maryland residency during the calendar year, you are considered a part-year resident.

So if you resided in Maryland for less than 6 months and did not establish residency, you will need to file a nonresident Maryland state income tax return to report your Maryland source income.

However, if you resided in Maryland for more than 6 months, you will need to file a resident Maryland state income tax return regardless of if you maintained your Florida residency.

TurboTax will help you determine your residency status and help you determine your income reporting requirements during the interview process for Maryland.
