why is the software making me answer questions about other states I have paid for when the return I am working on is just for a MD resident

Sorry I need a bit of clarification here.

Did you pay for other states in the program to prepare returns for those states?

Or are you just preparing a Maryland resident return and have no other income to report in any other states?

If you have income in other states, your resident state return will ask you questions about the income earned in other states to ensure you get credit for any income you were taxed on already. This is done to avoid double taxation by several states on the same income.
