Where do you work?
If you work in MD, then you would need to file a Non Resident for MD. Then you can take a credit on your LA resident return for taxes paid to MD.
If you work in one state and live in another, unless those states have reciprocity agreements, you will need to pay taxes to both the non-resident state in which you are working and the resident state where you live. Generally, you can take a credit on your resident return for the taxes paid to the non-resident state.
If not taxes were withheld from your state, then you would have to pay your resident state whatever you owe minus credits if they apply. When you work in one state and live in another, it is a good idea to pay quarterly state taxes if your employer does not withhold for your resident state to avoid penalties. You can also check to see if they will withhold for your resident state.
If you worked remotely and did not physically work in MD, then you would need to file a Non-Resident return for MD claiming $0 for wages and keeping the amount withheld the same. Then you would file your LA return, but you will have to pay the taxes due which sounds like in your case it will be $2,300.
