MD Tax Return

[ATSMAN]

This is my first part year MD tax return. Client moves to Baltimore MD from Natick, MA around mid October in 2013. So there will be part year MA and part year MD returns. My software is telling me that MD requires a paper copy of the MA return to be sent before they will accept a part year MD return that excludes income earned in MA. Otherwise MD will tax total income?

What is the correct process?

In my software you can attach the other state as a PDF to the MD return.

Are you sure you're not claiming a credit on the MD return for taxes paid to MA? My reading of the MD instructions is that that's the only case that requires the other state return.
