I need to file Non-resident Maryland return for a newly purchased rental property after the rental season. I have made improvements which are resulting in a loss on my federal return. Where do I post the loss for the improvements in the Non-MAryland Income Allocation section of Turbotax?

Under Rent. Royalities, and K-1 Income or

Other Income or Loss?

Improvements are listed as an asset and depreciated. They are part of your total rental income/loss, not a separate income entry. A loss on your federal return for a rental asset? You can only have a loss of $25,000 unless you are a real estate professional meeting the required time limits. Even if you are a real estate professional, the improvements are depreciated, not written off. I believe your return is not correct.

See About Publication 527, Residential Rental Property ... - IRS to verify that you are filing an accurate return.
