Tito,

The answer is most likely yes, However, if you have not re-established your residency in TX yet you may be able to avoid it. Although I am not a lawyer, I have often heard that a change of drivers license and or voting registration and income taxes, are commonly used to establish this. It is common practice for settlement attys. to use your drivers license to establish your identity and if it is out of state, they are required by law to withhold the tax.

You may be able to apply for an exemption however. If your MD home was your prinicipal residence 2 out of the last 5 years, you can file for an exemption to the non-resident tax. You must do this at least 21 days before closing. Get form MW506AE from http://forms.marylandtaxes.com.

I hope this helps! - Mon Sep 28 2009, 17:07
