We Can Help Solve Your Tax Problem

If your client forgot to file a personal income tax or business tax return, missed a deadline or have a tax liability to clear up, we can help you determine what to do next. We don't capture any personal data with this service. This is strictly for the convenience of you and your client.

You can file your client's tax returns electronically, choose among several payment options, or contact us so we can help your client make a payment arrangement or meet any filing requirements that may have been overlooked.

Common problems

"My client missed the filing deadline."
If you have the information ready, you should go ahead and file your client's return - whether it's for personal income taxes, sales and use tax, employer withholding taxes and any of the other taxes we collect. If you need assistance, call us at one of the numbers listed below.

"My client hasn't filed returns for one or more reporting periods."
You should file the missing returns right away before we contact your client. Once we begin our investigation of a case involving multiple returns that haven't been filed, we may have to assess fraud penalties or refer your client's case to the Attorney General's Office for criminal prosecution. You should file all of the missing returns at the same time so that we can offset overpayments against the underpayments and develop a true picture of your client's total liability. Also, out of statute income tax refunds can be applied to offset simultaneously filed balance-due income tax returns. If you need assistance, call us at one of the numbers listed below.

"My client hasn't filed because he doesn't have the money to pay."
Your client should file the return anyway to avoid the actions mentioned above. Your client can set up an income tax payment plan online and pay by credit card. To make other payment arrangements for your client, call us at one of the numbers listed below.

"My client lives in another state but has Maryland income to report."
Your client should file a nonresident return. If you need help, call us.

"My client is conducting a business in Maryland, making sales in Maryland and has employees in Maryland - but hasn't filed any returns."
You can register your client's business online or download the registration application and file it to register for any of the taxes we administer. Any past-due returns must also be filed.
