Hello everyone; hope you're all well!

So 2019 is my first year filing a Lawful Money return and while I was able to find great resources for the Federal filing I was not able to locate much on state filings. Which is why I am now posting asking for some insight and help.

I filed my MD state and received my refund however they "adjusted" what they understood to be an incomplete return filed.

On the MD 502 in the INCOME section it states: ADJUSTED GROSS INCOME FROM YOUR FEDERAL RETURN - which is $0 due to filing RLM return. However, my mistake was not showing MD where I was making my demand for LM. I have their corrected return and would like to know what options are available here to me.

I did download the Amended tax return forms and reviewed them. My question is how do I go about refusing this return and using the amounts they have already "approved" as they corrected them to file my Amended return and providing them with a copy of my federal return package along with the Supporting Schedule DfLM ?

Any and all help is greatly appreciated! I also filed federal but have not been updated on their site yet. Signature card stamp was 7/24 but post marked 7/15.

I did provide MD with this :
