Income Tax Information

For tax year 2011, Maryland's graduated personal income tax rates start at 2 percent on the first $1,000 of taxable income and increase up to a maximum of 5.50 percent on incomes exceeding $500,000. Nonresidents are subject to a special nonresident tax rate of 1.25 percent, in addition to the state income tax rate.

Maryland's 23 counties and Baltimore City also levy a local income tax, which is collected on the resident state tax return as a convenience to local governments.

There are special tax benefits available to taxpayers 65 and older, military retirees, low income families and families paying for child care. The deadline for filing your Maryland income tax is April 17, 2012, if you are filing on a calendar year basis.
