How to enter State Retirement Pick-up Amount for Maryland
Online · Written guide Content date 1 min read
A Maryland state retirement or pension member's pickup contributions are tax deferred for federal purposes but not for state tax purposes, thus they must be added back to income in the Maryland individual income tax return.
The Maryland state pickup amount will be stated separately in box 14 of Form W-2. Tax Processors Plus Online will add this amount to the Maryland state return if it has been entered correctly in the Form W-2 entry window in the federal return.
To enter the state pickup amount in Tax Processors Plus Online, from the Federal Section of the tax return (Form 1040) select:
- Income
- Form W-2
- Box 14 - Select from the dropdown menu MD PICKUP - MD Pickup Contribution.
