I have a client whose domicile is state of MD, but he has resided and worked in Foreign country from 2019. Some part of his wages can be excluded by Foreign earned income exclusion (Form 2555) on Federal return. Does State of Maryland also allow the foreign earned income exclusion? I checked that
the first line of MD tax return (MD 502) is starting with Federal AGI. Do you need to add back foreign wage excluded?

MD allows foreign earned income exclusion.

The more I know the more I don’t know.

Thank you for your answer but can you go check the link below,

Does this mean that the wage excluded by Form 2555 must be added back to determine MD AGI?
