We Can Help Solve Your Tax Problem

If you 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 your convenience.

You can file your tax returns online, set up a payment plan online, pay by credit card, or contact us so we can help you make a payment arrangement or meet any filing requirements you may have overlooked.

Common problems

"I missed the filing deadline."
If you have the information ready to file your return, you can file your tax returns online for free - using iFile for personal income taxes or bFile for sales and use tax and withholding tax returns. If you need assistance, call us at one of the numbers listed below.

"I haven't filed returns for one or more reporting periods."
You should file the missing returns right away before we contact you. 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 case to the Attorney General's Office for criminal prosecution. File online using iFile for personal income taxes or bFile for business taxes. 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 the 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.

"I haven't filed because I don't have the money to pay."
File your return anyway to avoid the actions mentioned above. You can set up an income tax payment plan online. You can also pay by credit card. To make other payment arrangements, call us at one of the numbers listed below.

"I live in another state but have Maryland income to report."
File a nonresident return. If you need help, call us.

"I'm conducting a business in Maryland, making sales in Maryland and have employees in Maryland - but I haven't filed any returns."
You can register your business online or download the registration application and file it to register for any of the taxes we administer. You can also file past-due returns using iFile or bFile.
