Maryland's Electronic Filing Program

Personal Resident and Nonresident Returns

Maryland's electronic filing program for personal resident and nonresident returns follows the same rules and guidelines as the IRS electronic filing program, as specified in IRS Publication 1345. We retrieve Maryland tax filings through the federal/state e-file program.

Business Returns

Maryland's electronic filing program follows the same rules and guidelines as the IRS 1120/1065 electronic filing program, as specified in IRS Publication 4164. Returns for the IRS and Maryland can be transmitted to a single point (the IRS). The IRS will forward the Maryland returns to Maryland for processing. Maryland will return acknowledgments back to the IRS where they can be picked up by transmitters. The following links provide information and guidance for software developers and transmitters interested in developing software for the Maryland Fed/State 1120/1065 eFile Program.

Throughout the year, multiple versions of these documents may be used at the same time. It is for this reason that special attention should be paid to the Release Memo issue date and the projected start and end dates.
