Answer 2

You file returns with both.  Income that is not from work is taxed by MD.  Income that is from work is technically taxed by both states, but you claim a credit on one return for either tax paid to MD on income also taxed by VA or tax paid to VA on income also taxed by VA, whichever is less, so your total tax paid to MD and VA (after subtracting the credit) is the same as if it was only taxed by one state.
