State tax filing

You will need to prepare a DC return to be able to assign the taxes to Maryland.

The only reason to file a DC return is to get back any DC withholding.

 

DC and MD have a reciprocity agreement--an agreement between two states that allows residents of one state to request exemption from tax withholding in the other (reciprocal) state.  However, since they withheld in DC in order to credit that on your Maryland taxes you will have to file just to get the refund.
