MD Form 502 - exempt interest from other states not added to income

On Maryland Form 502 Line 2 is supposed to be additional income from exempt-interest dividends from states other than Maryland.

I am doing the input correctly - on the Federal input for Form 1099-DIV, I enter the exempt-interest total, then later when asked "tell us more about your exempt-interest dividends" I break out the amounts earned from Maryland and Multiple States. The Multiple States amount is supposed to flow through to Line 2 on the MD 502 Form but nothing is showing there.

This must be a system glitch.

I am handling this the same as prior years but not getting the expected result.

Any help?

Thanks

You are correct the non-MD exempt interest dividends from 1099-DIV box 12 should flow to MD form 502 line 2. In my online and desktop products this appears to happen when I make the allocations for the box 12 amount. In online versions try signing out of your TurboTax account and clearing cache and cookies. Here is a link to assist if needed.

Then go back through the 1099-DIV entries and delete/re-enter the amounts including the box 12 allocations. While on the page to make the box 12 allocation you can check that the MD tax changes when you change the allocation amounts between MD and the other states and click continue. Look at the "state numbers" (MD) at the top of your TurboTax page.

Also, in online versions after making the entries, you can check the MD tax summary and you should see an addition to income for the non-MD portion (see steps below).

1. Select "Tax Tools" in the left hand menu
2. Select "Tools"
3. Select "View Tax Summary"
4. Select "Preview My 1040" in the left hand menu

5. Select "MD Tax Summary"

Verify your federal entries are marked. Once done, the interest and dividends in boxes 3 and 12, respectively, will automatically pull over to be tax free. Next, a page pops up asking about capital gains from US Obligations. You may have income in other boxes and needed to make an adjustment.

Which forms and which boxes are you struggling to get right? Is your program up to date?

Federal make adjustments:

State pulls things over

State asks for capital gains adjustment

Yes, Turbotax is Up to Date.

Not dealing with the Captial Gains - it's the 'Interest/Dividends from US Obligations'... we've entered the correct numbers for 2 funds in the Federal Tax section, however it is NOT pulling that amount ~$140 over to the State Form 502SR Line 2 as it should...the State form is just 'blank'.... 😕😕
