Form 502 - Maryland Income Tax Return for Residents

If you are a resident of Maryland but are not eligible to use the short Form 503, you must use Form 502. Form 502 allows you to report itemized deductions, additions and subtractions to income, estimated tax payments and tax credits.

You can also file Form 502 for free online through our iFile service.

You can also download forms related to Form 502 to make estimated tax payments, request a filing extension, amend your tax return and claim special tax benefits.

Part-Year Residents

If you are a part-year resident, you must file a Maryland income tax return using Form 502. You may also be required to file a return with your other state of residence.

Filing a part-year return in your first year of residency may help you avoid receiving a notice asking why you did not file with Maryland the previous year.
