I am stuck on entering the state and local wages section.

Do I enter state wages as DC -since this is where she worked?  or MD since this is where she lives?
If the answer is MD, the next box I need to fill in is my EIN.  I have an EIN for DC - not MD.  Do I need to get a MD EIN?

Box 15 is the State and State EIN for the employer.  In your situation, this would be DC.  You do not need a MD EIN.

Are you actually withholding local taxes for her?  Employers of household employees normally only withhold FICA and/or Federal taxes.  If however you have generously opted to withhold state and local taxes, those need to be calculated based on the employee's state/locality of residence.  So you would list DC and your DC EIN in Box 15, but boxes 16-20 would all be based on MD and the jurisdiction of residence of your employee.  Sorry, I see now that you did state that you only withhold FICA.  Because of that, boxes 16-20 would be left blank.

For more general knowledge there are several sites that have answers, but this one was the one that was the most clear:  [url]http://taxes.about.com/od/formw2/a/IRSFormW2_4.htm[/url][/quote]
