Florida Resident, Live in Maryland, Work in Virginia (remote)

I can't seem to find an answer anywhere and I've even sat the hold for almost an hour to ask the Maryland Comptroller office...

We are an active duty military family and live in Maryland but are legal residents of Florida. However, I work remote and the company I work for is in Virginia. No one seems to know which form(s) I need to fill out. Florida doesn't have an income tax and thus, no tax form to submit to my employer.

Do I need to submit both the Virginia VA-4 (Non-Resident State) and Maryland MD MW507 (Non-Resident State)? If I submit the MW507 form, will taxes be withheld and will I get them back at a later time?

Our taxes are always such a headache.

If you're the spouse of an active-duty servicemember, and your domiciliary state is Florida, your income is exempt from MD taxation as long as your active duty spouse is in MD in compliance with military orders and you are in MD solely to be with him/her.

VA does not tax non-resident remote workers. If you never actually (physically) work in VA, your work income is not taxable by VA.

So if the above examples apply to you, you are exempt from state income tax in both MD and VA.

If your employer is mistakenly withholding MD taxes, you should submit MD Forms MW507 and MW507M to them.

If your employer is mistakenly withholding VA taxes, you should submit VA Form VA-4 to them.
