pension is from Alabama, but we are 100% MD residents - do we still qualify?

No, the retirement income must be attributable to your service as a correctional officer, law enforcement officer or fire, rescue, or emergency services personnel of the United States, the State of Maryland, or a political subdivision of Maryland.

However, An individual taxpayer may not claim BOTH the standard Pension Exclusion and the Pension Exclusion for Retired Correctional Officer, Law Enforcement Officer or Fire, Rescue, or Emergency Services Personnel, so the regular pension exclusion would still apply.
