# FEDERAL LEGISLATION

Decoupling From Certain Provisions of One Big Beautiful 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 preceding years. The decoupled provisions include: full expensing of domestic research and experimental expenditures, modification 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.

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. Military personnel retain their states of legal residence until they take specific action to change the state. Duty assignments alone do not affect legal residence. For additional information, see Administrative Release 37.

Example:
Pat and Chris Jones had a federal adjusted gross income of $180,000. They also had $40,000 in interest from U.S. Savings Bonds and had a dependent son whom they claimed on the Maryland tax return. Using Instruction 10, they found that the exemption amount on their Maryland return (based upon $180,000 of income) was $2,400 ($800 for three exemptions). If it were not for the $40,000 of U.S. Savings Bonds, their federal adjusted gross income would have been $140,000 and their exemption amount would have been $9,600 ($3,200 for three exemptions).

If the amount on Line 54 is more than the overpayment on Line 51 of Form 505, enter zero (0) on Lines 52 and 53. Then subtract Line 51 from Line 54 and enter the result on Line 55. If you prefer, you may leave Line 54 blank and the Revenue Administration Division will calculate the interest charges and send you a bill. See Instructions 24 and 25 regarding signatures, attachments, and mailing.

# DIRECT DEPOSIT OF REFUND

To comply with banking and National Automated Clearing House Association (NACHA) rules, we ask you to indicate by checking the appropriate box on your return if the state refund is going to an account outside the United States. If you indicate that this is the case, STOP! do not enter your routing and account numbers, as the direct deposit option is not available to you. We will send you a paper check.
By choosing direct deposit of your refund and checking the appropriate box, you authorize the State of Maryland to disclose to your bank, to the State's depository bank and their financial institution partners, and NACHA any tax return information necessary to make the deposit, such as your refund amount, your name, and the name(s) as it appears on the bank account.
Complete Lines 56a, b, c, and d of Form 505 if you want us to deposit your refund directly into your account at a bank or other financial institution (such as a mutual fund, brokerage firm or credit union) in the United States.
Check with your financial institution to make sure your direct deposit will be accepted and to get the correct routing and account numbers. If you enter incorrect account or omit any required information, the State of Maryland will not be responsible for recovering that refund and/or for making direct deposit payment electronically.
Line 56a: Check the appropriate box to identify the type of account that will be used (checking or savings). You must check one box only, or a refund check will be mailed.
Line 56b: The routing number must be nine digits. If the first two digits are not 01 through 12 or 21 through 32, the direct deposit will be rejected and a check sent instead.
If you are not sure of the correct routing number or if your check states that it is payable through a financial institution different from the one at which you have your checking account, contact your financial institution for the correct routing number.

# Line 56c: The account number can be up to 17 characters

(both numbers and letters). Omit spaces, hyphens and other special symbols. Enter the number from left to right and leave any unused spaces blank.
Line 56d: Indicate the name(s) as it appears on the bank account.
If we are notified by the financial institution that the direct deposit is not successful, a refund check will be mailed to you.
Have a bank statement for the deposit account available if you contact us concerning the direct deposit of your refund.

# DISCLOSURE

By requesting a direct deposit of your Maryland tax refund and entering your bank account number, routing number, account type, and name(s) as it appears on your bank account and on your income tax return, you authorize the Comptroller's Office to disclose this information regarding your refund amount to the Maryland State Treasurer's Office (who performs banking services for the Comptroller's Office).

SPLITTING YOUR DIRECT DEPOSIT
If you would like to deposit portions of your refund (Form 505, Line 53) to multiple accounts, do not complete any direct deposit information on your income tax return (Form 505). Instead, you must enter code number 588 in one of the code number Lines on page 3 of your return, and complete and attach Form 588.
NOTE: You may not use Form 588 if you are filing Form 502INJ, Maryland Injured Spouse Claim Form, or if you plan to deposit your refund in a bank outside the United
States.
Individual taxpayers have the option to use all or part of their Maryland income tax refund to purchase U.S. Series I Savings Bonds. See Form 588 for additional details.

TELEPHONE NUMBERS, CODE NUMBERS,
SIGNATURES AND ATTACHMENTS.
Sign and date your return, and enter your telephone numbers. Be sure to attach all required forms, schedules and statements.

# CODE NUMBERS

If special circumstances apply, you may not owe the interest for underpayment of estimated tax. Refer to Form 502UP for additional information. Enter the applicable code number in one of the code number lines on page 3 of your return. Enter code 300 if you are a farmer or fisherman or 301 if your income was received unevenly throughout the year. Attach your completed Form 502UP if you have entered code 301.

# TAX PREPARERS

If another person prepared your return, that person must also print name, sign the return and enter their Preparer's Tax Identification Number (PTIN). The preparer declares, under the penalties of perjury, that the return is based on all information required to be reported of which the preparer has knowledge. Income tax preparers who, for compensation, completed 100 or more original Maryland individual income tax returns (paper and electronic forms) for Tax Year 2024 are required to file all original individual income tax returns electronically for Tax Year 2025, except when a taxpayer specifically requests a preparer to file by paper or when a preparer has received a valid written waiver from the Comptroller.
Penalties may be imposed for tax preparers who fail to sign the tax return and provide their PTIN or who failed to file electronically when required.
At the bottom of the return at the signature area, we have provided a check box for you to authorize your preparer to discuss your return with us. Another check box is provided for you to authorize your preparer to not file your return electronically.

# SIGNATURES

You must sign your return. Your signature(s) signifies that your return, including all attachments, is, to the best of your knowledge and belief, true, correct and complete, under the penalties of perjury.
Both spouses must sign a joint return. If your spouse cannot sign because of injury or disease and tells you to sign, you can sign your spouse's name in the proper space on the return followed by the words "By (your name), spouse." Be sure to also sign in the space provided for your signature.
If a power of attorney is necessary, complete Form 548 and attach to your return.

# ATTACHMENTS

For returns with payment by check or money order, attach the payment to the Form PV. The Form PV and payment are placed before the Form 505 for mailing purposes. The Form PV and payment are not attached to the Form 505.
Be sure to attach wage and tax statements (Forms W-2, W-2G and 1099(s)) to the front of your Form 505 if Maryland tax was withheld. Also attach all other forms (except Form PV), K-1s, schedules and statements required by these instructions.
These documents should be attached and placed after page 4 of the Form 505.

ELECTRONIC FILING, MAILING, AND

PAYMENT INSTRUCTIONS AND
DEADLINES.

# ELECTRONICALLY FILING YOUR RETURN

The fastest way to file your return and receive your refund is to file electronically and request direct deposit. If you request direct deposit on your electronic return your refund should be in your bank account within 72 hours of acknowledgement from the Revenue Administration Division. 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.
Do not send a paper copy of the return you electronically filed.
For more information, visit marylandcomptroller.gov.

# 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.

# PAYMENT BY CHECK OR MONEY ORDER

Make your check or money order payable to "Comptroller of Maryland." Use blue or black ink. Do not use red ink or pencil. You must include the tax year, tax type, and social security number/ individual taxpayer identification number if filing individually.
If filing jointly, you must include the social security number/ ITIN of the primary taxpayer on the check or money order.
Failure to include this information will delay the processing of your payment. DO NOT SEND CASH.
Your check or money order should be attached to the completed Form PV. Do not attach the check or money order to your return.

# ALTERNATIVE PAYMENT METHODS

For alternative methods of payment, such as a credit card, visit marylandcomptroller.gov.
NOTE: Credit card payments are considered electronic payments for the purpose of the April 30th extended due date if you filed your return electronically by April 15th. If any due date falls on a Saturday, Sunday or legal holiday, the return must be filed by the next business day.
ELECTRONIC 1099G
At the bottom of the return in the signature area, we have provided a check-box just above the signature for you to indicate that you agree to receive your statement of refund (Form 1099G) electronically. Visit marylandcomptroller.gov to print an electronic form 1099G or to request form 1099G in paper form.
If you have requested an electronic 1099G, we will notify you by email in January that your 1099G is available to be viewed and printed at our website if you are a registered user.
Note: We can only honor your request on an electronically filed return or through your registered request on our website.
If you are filing a tax form by paper, we do not capture this request and therefore cannot honor your request to send you an electronic Form 1099G under current IRS regulations.

# MAILING YOUR RETURN

For returns filed with payments, attach check or money order to Form PV. Make check or money order payable to Comptroller of Maryland. Do not attach Form PV or check/money order to Form 505. Place Form PV with attached check/money order on top of Form 505 and mail to:
Payment Processing
PO Box 8888
Annapolis, MD 21401-8888
For returns filed without payments, mail your completed return to:
Revenue Administration Division
110 Carroll Street
Annapolis, MD 21411-0001
Sending your return by certified mail will not result in special handling and may delay your refund.
Private Delivery Services
If you wish to send your items by a private delivery service (such as FedEx or UPS) instead of the U.S. Postal Service, use the following address:
Revenue Administration Division
110 Carroll Street
Annapolis, MD 21411-0001
410-260-7980

# DUE DATE

Returns must be mailed by April 15, 2026, for calendar year taxpayers. If any due date falls on a Saturday, Sunday or legal holiday, the return must be filed by the next business day.
Persons filing on a fiscal year basis should see Instruction 26.

EXTENSION OF TIME TO FILE
Follow the instructions for Form PV found on the PAYMENT

VOUCHER WORKSHEET FOR ESTIMATED TAX AND EXTENSION PAYMENTS (PVW) to request an automatic extension of the time to file your 2025 return. Filing this form extends the time to file your return, but does not extend the time to pay your taxes. Payment of the expected tax due is required with Form PV by April 15th. If any due date falls on a Saturday, Sunday, or legal holiday, the return must be filed by the next business day. You can file and pay by credit card or electronic funds withdrawal (direct debit) on our website. If no tax is due and you requested a federal extension, you do not need to file Form PV or take any other action to obtain an automatic six-month extension. If no tax is due and you did not request a federal extension, file your extension online at marylandcomptroller.gov or by phone at 410-260-

  1. Only submit Form PV if tax is due.

# COMBAT ZONE EXTENSION

Maryland allows the same six-month extension for filing and paying personal income taxes for military and support personnel serving in a designated combat zone or qualified hazardous duty area and their spouses as allowed by the IRS. For more detailed information visit irs.gov. If you are affected by the extension enter 912 in one of the code number lines on page 3.
FISCAL YEAR.

You must file your Maryland return using the same tax year and the same basis (cash or accrual) as you used on your federal return.
To file a fiscal year return, complete the fiscal year information at the top of Form 505, and print "FY" in bold letters in the upper left hand corner of the form. Whenever the term "tax year" appears in these instructions, fiscal year taxpayers should understand the term to mean "fiscal year." Use the 2025 forms for fiscal years which begin during calendar year 2025.
Fiscal year returns are due on the 15th day of the 4th month following the close of the fiscal year.

# SPECIAL INSTRUCTIONS FOR MILITARY

TAXPAYERS.

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

If you moved into or out of Maryland during 2025 AND received taxable Maryland income both while you were a resident and while you were a nonresident AND you are required to file a federal return, you are required to file two returns with the State of Maryland.
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.

POVERTY LEVEL CREDITS
You must prorate your poverty level credits based on Maryland income.

# WITHHOLDING AND ESTIMATED TAX PAYMENTS

You must allocate your total payments between your two returns.
PASS-THROUGH ENTITIES (PTE) MAY

# FILE A COMPOSITE INCOME TAX RETURN

(FORM 510C) ON BEHALF OF QUALIFIED

NONRESIDENT INDIVIDUAL MEMBERS.
Note: A single member entity cannot file Form 510C.
Nonresident members other than individuals may not participate in the composite return. Beginning tax year 2025, nonresident individual members to whom net capital gain income subject to Maryland tax was distributed may not participate in the composite return. The Maryland tax of each nonresident individual member is calculated using the rate of 6.50% plus the 2.25% special nonresident tax.

Nonresident individual members of a PTE doing business in the State who meet the composite return requirements contained in Administrative Release 6 and elect to be included in a composite return may not be required to file Maryland nonresident individual returns. Instead, the PTE doing business in the State may file a composite return on behalf of qualified nonresident individual members using Form 510C.
For more information, see Administrative Release 6 at marylandcomptroller.gov.

# 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 administrator) 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 include 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

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 return. 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.
