Per the Maryland Higher Education Commission Website this is a new credit for this year. It indicates that if you apply and receive the credit that you will report the total on Tax Form 502, 505 or 515. I believe that I will need to mail my state return in as I need to include a certification.

Yes it is. From the list of Maryland credits, select the topic "Student Loan Debt Relief Credit."  You will be asked to enter the amount on the certification from the Maryland Higher Education Commission.  

Yes, you will need to paper file your return to Maryland along with the certification.

In few days of working with ZEUSHACKERS01 at OUTLOOKdotCOM, my credit score has raised high enough to be able to qualify for a mortgage loan that I was not able to before. Besides that, he's so professional and friendly and easy to work with that it made the whole experience quite enjoyable. I have already recommended him to several people and all gave me positive replies.

I do not see a credit that suggests that.

For 2019 returns, Turbo tax gives the options to attach a PDF for student loan debt relief credit (maryland state returns).  With this option, are you still required to mail the paper return.  When looking at the final return, the attached PDF does not show?
