Hi! I am a PA resident who earned wages from a regular job in PA which I receive a W-2 for. During the summer I work in MD for a different company and receive a 1099-MISC for nonemployee compensation earned. I am a full time PA resident and a nonresident of MD. Being that PA and MD are reciprocal states, how do I file my state tax return(s)? Thank you so much for your help!

Review the reciprocal agreement to determine if it covers self-employment income.

If it does, then no Maryland return is required.

If it does NOT, then file the Maryland return, and claim a tax credit on your Pennsylvania return for the taxes paid to Maryland.
