FEDERAL LEGISLATION
Decoupling From Certain Provisions of One Big Beauti - ful Bill Act: Maryland is automatically decoupled from certain business provisions of the One Big Beautiful Bill Act (Public Law 119-21) as they apply to taxable year 2025 and preced - ing years. The decoupled provisions include: full expensing of domestic research and experimental expenditures, modifica - tion of limitation on business interest, and special depreciation allowance for qualified production property. Forms 500DM, 502SU, 510/511 K-1, and 504 K-1 are updated to reflect the decoupling. For more information on the One Big Beautiful Bill Act and decoupling go to marylandcomptroller.gov.
STATE LEGISLATION
State Legislation State Income Tax Rates: The State in - come tax brackets have been altered beginning in tax year 2025. The Comptroller will waive interest or penalties on un - derpaid estimated income taxes for calendar year 2025 if the underpayment is the result of the liability created by the tax rate changes. See page 32 for the updated rate information. Additional 2% Tax on Net Capital Gain Income and Form 502CG: Filers with a federal adjusted gross income in excess of $350,000 are now subject to an additional 2% tax on certain net capital gain income received. See Instruction 18, 19, and new form 502CGfor additional details. Deductions: Beginning tax year 2025, itemized deductions for filers with a federal adjusted gross income of $200,000 ($100,000 for married filing separately) must be reduced based on their income.

A missing or incorrect SSN or ITIN could result in the disallowance of any credits or exemptions you may be entitled to and result in a balance due. A valid SSN or ITIN is required for any claim or exemption for a dependent. If you have a dependent who was placed with you for legal adoption and you do not know their SSN, you must get an Adoption Taxpayer Identification Number (ATIN) for the dependent from the IRS. If your child was born and died in this tax year and you do not have a SSN or ITIN for the child, complete just the name and relationship of the dependent and enter code 322 in one of the code number boxes located on page 3 of the form; attach a copy of the child's death certificate to your return. FILING STATUS.
Check the filing status box that matches the filing status you used on your federal return unless you are a dependent taxpayer. If another taxpayer claims you as a dependent on their tax return, your filing status is dependent taxpayer . If married, the dependent taxpayer and spouse must file separate returns. A dependent taxpayer may not claim a personal exemption. Check the box for filing status 6. Generally, if you filed a joint federal return for 2025, you must file a joint Maryland return. Married couples who file joint federal returns may file separate Maryland returns when one spouse is a resident of Maryland and the other spouse is a nonresident of Maryland. If you and your spouse filed separate federal returns you must file separate Maryland Returns. If you filed a federal return with the qualifying surviving spouse status, you must file your Maryland return with the qualifying surviving spouse status. RESIDENCE INFORMATION. Answer ALL the questions and fill in the appropriate boxes. Enter the appropriate two-letter code from the table in the space provided for your state of legal residence. Also list the County and City, Borough or Township (or other local taxing jurisdiction) in which you live. Your state of legal residence is your domicile or permanent home. It is the place you intend to return to after temporary absences. You do not change or abandon a domicile until you establish a new domicile in another state.

You may request electronic funds withdrawal (direct debit) payments on your electronic return. If you both file and pay electronically, your return is due April 15th. If any due date falls on a Saturday, Sunday or legal holiday, the return must be filed by the next business day. However, you will have until April 30th to make your electronic payment. Note: An online payment where the bank mails the Comptroller of Maryland a paper check is not considered an electronic payment. You may file your return electronically through your personal computer.

ELECTRONIC PAYMENT OF BALANCE DUE
If your paper or electronic tax return has a balance due, you may pay electronically at marylandcomptroller.gov by selecting Bill Pay. The amount that you designate will be debited from your bank or financial institution on the date that you choose.

SPECIAL INSTRUCTIONS FOR MILITARY
TAXPAYERS. Instructions and worksheets referenced are in the resident booklet. For more information, see Administrative Release 1. PART-YEAR RESIDENTS.

Complete your resident return (Form 502) using the instructions for part-year residents. Complete your nonresident return (Form 505) using the instructions in this booklet with the following exceptions:
INCOME AND ADJUSTMENTS
Treat your Maryland resident income as non-Maryland income. This amount is included as a subtraction on Line 6b of Form 505NR. You will be taxed on this income on your resident return.
STANDARD DEDUCTION
Your combined total standard deduction may not exceed the maximum amount for your filing status.
EXEMPTIONS
Each exemption is limited to a maximum of $3,200 and is subject to further reduction using the chart in Instruction 10. Your exemption must be prorated on the resident and nonresident returns based on Maryland income.

FILING RETURN OF DECEASED
TAXPAYER. Enter code 321 in one of the code number lines on page 3. Use the following special instructions:
FILING THE RETURN
If an individual required to file an income tax return dies, the final income tax return shall be filed: a. By the personal representative (an executor or administra - tor) of the individual's estate; b. If there is no personal representative, by the decedent's surviving spouse; or c. Jointly by the personal representatives of each if both spouses are deceased.
JOINT RETURN
If the spouse of the deceased taxpayer filed a joint federal return with the decedent, generally a joint Maryland return must be filed. The word "DECEASED" and the date of death should be written after the decedent's name at the top of the form. The name and title of any person, other than the surviving spouse, filing the return should be clearly noted on the form. Attach a copy of the Letters of Administration or, if the return is filed solely by the surviving spouse, attach a death certificate.
ALL OTHER RETURNS
If the return is filed by the personal representative, write the words "Estate of" before the decedent's first name and the date of death after the last name. The name and title of the person filing the return should be clearly noted on the form. Attach a copy of the Letter(s) of Administration or Federal Form 1310. Note: A copy of the decedent's will cannot be accepted as evidence that you are the personal representative. The address of the person claiming the deceased taxpayer's refund should be written on the Current Mailing Address lines, and the address of the deceased taxpayer should be written in the Maryland Physical address section on page 1 of Form 502. If there is no personal representative, write the word "deceased" and the date of death after the decedent's last name. The name and title of the person filing the return should be clearly noted on the form; and a copy of federal Form 1310 must be attached if requesting a refund. The form can be found at irs.gov .
KILLED IN ACTION
Maryland will abate the tax liability for an individual who is a member of the U.S. Uniformed Services at death, and dies while in active service in a combat zone, a public health emergency
response area, or at any place from wounds, disease, or injury incurred while in active service in a combat zone. To obtain an abatement, a return must be filed. The abatement will apply to the tax year in which death occurred, and any earlier tax year ending on or after the first day the member served in a combat zone or public health emergency response area in active service. Maryland also will abate the tax liability of an individual who dies while a member of the uniformed services or civilian employee of the United States, if such death occurs as a result of wounds, disease, or injury incurred outside the United States in a public health emergency response, a terrorist, or military action. In the case of a joint return, Maryland applies the same rules for these taxpayers as does the IRS. For more information on filing a return, see Publication 3 Armed Forces Tax Guide available at irs.gov. Place code number 915 on one of the lines marked "code numbers" if you are filing a return for a taxpayer who was killed in action meeting the above criteria. AMENDED RETURNS. If you need to change a return that you have already filed, or if the IRS changes your return, you must file an amended return and include Form 505NR using the amended figures.
FILING AN AMENDED RETURN
You must file an amended return to make certain changes on your original return. These include changes in income, filing status, amount of deductions, the number of exemptions and the amount of additions to income and subtractions from income. Note: Changes made as part of an amended return are subject to audit for up to three years from the date the amended return is filed. Use Form 505X and Form 505NR to file an amended return and in clude a copy of your federal return. To obtain forms and instructions visit marylandcomptroller.gov or email TAXFORMS@marylandtaxes.gov. You may also call 1-800-638- 2937 or from Central Maryland 410-260-7951.
CHANGES TO YOUR FEDERAL RETURN
If the IRS makes any changes to your federal return, you must notify the State of Maryland. Send notification to the Revenue Administration Division within 90 days of the final determination of the changes by the IRS. If you file an amended federal return that changes your Maryland return, you must file an amended Maryland return.
IF YOUR ORIGINAL RETURN SHOWED A REFUND
See 2025 Maryland Tax Table on next page. If you expect a refund from your original return, do not file an amended return until you have received your refund check. Cash the check; do not return it. If your amended return shows a smaller refund, send a check for the difference with the amended re - turn. If your amended return shows a larger refund, the Revenue Administration Division will issue an additional refund check.
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
Do not file an amended return until sufficient time has passed to allow the original return to be processed. For current year returns, allow at least six weeks. Generally, a claim for a refund or overpayment credit must be filed within three years from the date the original return was filed or within two years from the date the original tax was paid, whichever is later. An original return filed early is considered filed on the date it was due. If a claim is filed within three years after the date the original return was filed, the credit or refund may not be more than that part of the tax paid within the three years, plus any extension of time for filing the return, immediately preceding the filing of the claim. If a claim is filed after the three-year period, but within two years from the time the tax was paid, the refund or credit may not be more than the tax paid within two years immediately before filing the claim for a refund or credit. A claim for refund based on a federal net operating loss carryback must be filed within three years from the due date of the return for the year of the net operating loss. If the claim for refund resulted from a federal adjustment or final decision of a federal court which is more than two years from the time the tax was paid, a claim for refund must be filed within one year from the date of the adjustment or final decision. If the claim for refund or credit for overpayment resulted from a final determination made by an administrative board or an appeal of a decision of an administrative board, that is more than three years from the date of filing the return or more than two years from the time the tax was paid, the claim for refund must be filed within one year of the date of the final decision of the administrative board or final decision of the highest court to which an appeal of the administrative board is taken. No refund for less than $1.00 will be issued. No payment of less than $1.00 is required.
