The bond need not exceed $500,000. A letter of credit or participation in the state's Payroll Processor Recovery Fund can be substituted for a surety bond. A payroll processor must provide certain information to each client at least every quarter. This information must include an accounting of funds received and disbursed, contact information for state and federal tax agencies to verify payments have been made. Note that bonding does not necessarily ensure that all claims will be covered if the payroll processor fails to comply with its responsibilities. A payroll processor may not designate itself as the sole recipient of notices from state or federal authorities for nonpayment of taxes or unemployment contributions. A payroll processor shall ensure that such notices are provided directly to the affected employers or non-wage filers. Failure to register or abide by all statutory requirements will subject a payroll processor to certain civil penalties. Further information and applications may be obtained from the Bureau of Consumer Credit Protection. Call (207) 624-8527 or visit the website at www. credit.maine.gov (select "Who We Regulate," then select "Payroll Processors"). A payroll processor is an entity that performs the following services for one or more employers or non-wage filers: prepares and issues payroll checks; prepares and files state income tax withholding reports or unemployment insurance contribution reports; or collects, holds and turns over to the State Tax Assessor income tax withholding or unemployment insurance contributions. By January 31st of each year, all payroll processing companies must obtain a license from the Maine Department of Professional and Financial Regulation, Bureau of Consumer Credit Protection (www.credit.maine.gov). All payroll processors that prepare and issue payroll checks must provide proof of liability insurance equal to twice the highest weekly payroll processed by the business in the preceding year or $5,000,000, whichever is less. For liability insurance coverage, the processor may choose from a fidelity bond, employee dishonesty bond, third-party fidelity coverage or liability insurance that includes crime coverage. Payroll processors who have authority to access, control, direct, transfer, or disburse a client's funds must also provide evidence of a surety bond. The bond must be in an amount equal to the greater of $50,000 or the total of all local, state and federal tax payments and unemployment contributions remitted by the payroll processor on behalf of employers in this state in the highest-volume three consecutive month period during the previous calendar year. Payroll Processors DOs and DON'Ts for Clients of Payroll Processors in Maine: Using the services of a payroll processor can be a convenient and economical way for an employer or non-wage filer to file and pay withholding taxes. However, employers or non-wage filers face certain risks associated with the use of a processor, including possible lack of compliance and the risk of loss of funds that are under the control of the processor. Ultimately, it is the employer or non-wage filer who bears the responsibility for meeting its payroll tax obligations. If you are an employer or non-wage filer that uses the services of a payroll processor, you should take the following precautions: a Educate yourself to understand your filing requirements and the risks associated with using a payroll processor. a Verify with the Bureau of Consumer Credit Protection, (207) 624-8527 or www.credit.maine.gov, that the processor is licensed and has provided proof of liability insurance to protect client funds, including coverage for crimes such as fraud and theft. If the processor has access to your company's funds, verify with the Bureau of Consumer Credit Protection that the company has also posted a surety bond or letter of credit, or is enrolled in the state's Payroll Processor Recovery Fund. a Obtain verification from the payroll processor and its insurer that the processor's liability insurance will remain in effect for a specified period of time. a Read your contract with your processor carefully. a Ensure that the agreement/contract and any power of attorney that your processor has with you specifically requires that all notices sent by the IRS and State tax agencies be sent directly to you. a Never hesitate to contact tax authorities or the Bureau of Consumer Credit Protection directly when you feel it necessary. a Check with the appropriate tax agency periodically to ensure that returns and payments are filed in a timely manner. a Insist on verification from your processor that any problem for which the employer has received a tax agency notice has been resolved. a Never assume that returns have been filed and taxes paid solely because you have not received notice of any problems from the IRS or MRS. a Never sign a tax return before it is completed. a Require that the processor provide copies of returns, not just summaries, at the time of filing. a If you are using a payroll service, be sure you are assigned a direct contact person and telephone number.

Purpose of Form 941P-ME Form 941P-ME must be filed by pass-through entities that have nonresident members. The return reports entity-level distributive income and apportionment information, pass-through entity withholding for nonresident members, and nonresident members exempt from pass-through entity withholding. Who must file A pass-through entity treated as a partnership or S corporation for federal tax purposes that transacts business in Maine or realizes Maine-source income and had, during the reporting period, at least one nonresident member (owner) must file Form 941P-ME. The entity is not required to file Form 941P-ME if all pass-through entity members were residents of Maine during the entire reporting period. Also, a financial institution organized as a partnership, LLC, or S corporation is not required to file Form 941P-ME (see instructions for Form 1120B-ME available at maine.gov/revenue/ tax-return-forms). In addition, for tax years beginning on or after January 1, 2022, a pass-through entity whose only activity in Maine is an out-of-state supplier of spirits sold to the Maine Bureau of Alcoholic Beverages and Lottery Options is not required to make payment of pass-through entity withholding or to file a passthrough entity withholding return (see P.L. 2021, c. 756 for more information). A pass-through entity that is treated as a disregarded entity for federal tax purposes is also treated as a disregarded entity for Maine tax purposes. When to file The 2024 Form 941P-ME is due March 17, 2025. If an entity has an extension from the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) for filing its federal information return (Form 1065 or 1120-S), the due date for filing Form 941P-ME is automatically extended for an equivalent period of time, generally up to six months, but no longer than eight months. However, if the entity has any pass-through entity withholding due (see Form 941P-ME, line 3a), that amount must be paid by March 17, 2025. If not filing electronically or paying with the return, remit the extension payment with Form 901ES-ME. Fiscal year pass-through entities Entities that operate on a fiscal year basis must also file Form 941P- ME by March 17, 2025. Complete Form 941P-ME on the basis of entity information for the fiscal year that ends during the calendar year for which the form is filed. For example, an entity with a fiscal year ending June 30, 2024 would complete the 2024 Form 941P- ME by March 17, 2025 on the basis of the entity's information for the fiscal year that ends June 30, 2024. See specific instructions below. Interest and penalties Beginning January 1, 2025, the interest rate is 10% per annum, compounded monthly. The penalty for failure to pay the withholding tax on time is 1% per month up to a maximum of 25%. The penalty for failure to file the return on time is 10% of the tax liability or $25, whichever is greater. If the return is filed more than 60 days after receipt of a formal demand that the return be filed, the penalty is the greater of $25 or 25% of the tax due. How to file Electronic Filing Required. MRS Rule 104 (Electronic Filing of Maine Tax Returns) generally requires that Form 941P-ME (Maine Pass-through Entity Withholding) be filed electronically. The Maine Tax Portal (MTP) or the combined federal/state Modernized e-File (MeF) program may be used to facilitate the Maine electronic filing requirement. Taxpayers unable to meet the electronic filing or payment requirement because of undue hardship may submit a written waiver request to the State Tax Assessor. The request must include the name, address and account number of the business, a detailed explanation of why filing and/or paying electronically poses a significant hardship, and the length of time for which you are requesting a waiver. Mail waiver requests to: Maine Revenue Services, Corporate Tax Unit, P.O. Box 9107, Augusta, ME 04332-9107. For more information, see MRS Rule 102 and 104 at maine.gov/ revenue/publications/rules. Use the Maine Tax Portal ("MTP") to create and manage your pass-through entity withholding account, file tax returns, and pay the Maine pass-through entity withholding at revenue.maine.gov. If filing on paper, mail the return to MRS as follows: If enclosing a check If NOT enclosing a check with the return: with the return: Maine Revenue Services Maine Revenue Services P. O.

Attachments • Annual Form 941P-ME must include Schedules 2P and 3P, if necessary. Do not attach copies of federal Form 1065 or Form 1120-S. MRS may request additional information, however, as necessary. • If the entity has an ownership interest in or received Maine source income reported on federal Form 1065, Schedule K-1 from another pass-through entity, attach a statement that includes the name and federal EIN of the other pass-through entity(ies). Amended returns An amended return must be filed to correct a reporting error in the amount of withholding for the calendar year, such as to report and remit additional withholding due or to obtain a refund of excess income tax withheld and remitted to MRS. • A partnership may be required to amend Form 941P-ME to report pass-through entity withholding adjustments attributable to nonresident partners who filed a modification amended return or utilized the alternative reporting procedure during the modification period of an IRS partnership-level audit, consistent with the requirements described in MRS Rule 803. • Overpayments of withholding amounts remitted for a prior calendar year will be refunded only to the extent that the overpayment is not attributable to amounts actually withheld from the member and only to the extent that the member has not already filed a tax return claiming the overpaid

# General Information

withholding amount. Any amount actually withheld and reported to a member during a prior calendar year, even if in error, must be claimed as a credit by the member on that member's income tax return. Amended returns must be filed within 180 days of the final determination of the change, correction, or the filing of the federal amended return or Internal Revenue Agent report. Complete the amended Form 941P-ME, including Schedules 1P, 2P, and 3P as applicable, with the corrected information. Include with the amended return an explanation of the adjustments made and copies of the original or corrected annual statements (Forms 1099ME) that reflect the correct amount of withholding for the members listed on Form 941P-ME, Schedule 2P. For more information, see the specific instructions for the amended return box. Who must withhold A pass-through entity is generally required to withhold Maine income tax from the Maine-source distributive income of each nonresident member (partner, shareholder, LLC member, etc.) unless that member is exempt from the withholding requirement or the income has already been subject to Maine withholding. See below for more information about the exemptions. A pass-through entity is any entity (including an LLC) that is treated as a partnership or S corporation for federal income tax purposes. However, a pass-through entity that is a financial institution as defined in 36 M.R.S. § 5206-D(8) is not required to withhold from its members. Nonresident members include individual members that are not residents of Maine, business members, including C corporations and other pass-through entities, that have a commercial domicile outside of Maine, and members that are estates or trusts that are not residents of Maine pursuant to 36 M.R.S. §§ 5102(2) and 5102(4). Note: The pass-through entity withholding requirement is separate from, and in addition to, the employee income tax withholding requirements. How much must be withheld Pass-through entities must withhold 7.15% of the estimated Maine-source distributive income of each nonresident member, except 8.93% must be withheld if the nonresident member is a C corporation. The Maine-source distributive income of a nonresident member is equal to the member's share of the net income of the entity for the calendar year (or, for fiscal year filers, for the fiscal year ending during the calendar year) apportioned to Maine in accordance with 36 M.R.S., Chapter 821. If the amount of Maine-source distributive income of a nonresident member is unknown, the entity must estimate. For purposes of Maine pass-through entity withholding, the net income of an entity for the calendar (or fiscal) year is calculated on an estimated basis. See the instructions for Form 941P-ME, Schedule 1P, line 5 for more information. An entity that is required to withhold a total of more than $1,000 from its members for the calendar year must, for each calendar quarter, make estimated payments equal to 25% of the lesser of the following: General Information, continued (a) 90% of the amount required to be withheld for the calendar year; or (b) The amount required to have been withheld for the prior calendar year, except that this paragraph does not apply if the preceding year was less than 12 months, or if the passthrough entity was not required to withhold, or if the entity did not file an annual return for the prior year. The estimated payments may be made electronically (see below) or by check using Form 901ES-ME. Payments are due for each calendar quarter on or before the following dates: April 30th, July 31st, October 31st, and January 31st of the following year. If the due date falls on a holiday or weekend, the due date is the next business day. Electronic payments required. MRS Rule 102 requires taxpayers with a combined annual tax liability for all Maine taxes that is $10,000 or more to pay all Maine tax electronically. Electronic payments of Maine pass-through entity withholding may be remitted electronically using the Maine Tax Portal, or by ACH debit, or ACH credit. For more information, go to maine.gov/revenue/electronicservices. Use the MTP to create and manage your pass-through entity withholding account, file tax returns, and pay the Maine pass-through entity withholding at revenue.maine.gov. ACH debit payments may be made by including the taxpayer's banking information with an electronically filed return. The ACH credit system, allows taxpayers to contact their bank and initiate a payment to MRS. To obtain a copy of Rule 102 - Electronic Funds Transfer, or for more information, go to maine.gov/revenue/, email taxpayerassist@maine.gov, or write: EFT Unit, Maine Revenue Services, P.O. Box 1060, Augusta, ME 04332-1060. Any person required to pay electronically who fails to do so is subject to a penalty equal to the lesser of 5% of the tax due or $5,000. The penalty for insufficient funds also applies. Exemptions from withholding Several exemptions (described below) are available to entities and their members that can reduce or eliminate the requirement to withhold. Pass-through entities with members that are passthrough entities should see the "Tiered Entities" section below. Automatic exemptions. Do not include on Form 941P-ME, Schedule 3P members who qualify for an automatic exemption. The following entities and members qualify for an automatic exemption from the pass-through entity withholding requirement: (a) A nonresident member with less than $1,000 Maine-source member income for the current year; (b) A nonresident member that is a tax-exempt entity under either Maine law or federal law (including IRAs, Keoghs, pension and profit-sharing plans, and other such organizations), unless the Maine-source member income of the tax-exempt entity is unrelated business income; (c) A nonresident upper-tier pass-through entity that realizes income from a lower-tier entity and the lower-tier entity has already withheld from that income; (d) A member of a publicly traded partnership that is treated as a partnership under Code section 7704;

(e) An entity that is a publicly traded partnership treated as a partnership under Code section 7704; and (f) A member of an entity that is prohibited under federal or state law from making distributions to members. This exemption applies only for years in which distributions are prohibited under federal or state law. Contractual restrictions on distributions, such as loan covenants or organizational documents, do not qualify an entity for this exemption. Compliant taxpayer exemption. A member that is generally subject to pass-through entity withholding may obtain an exemption as a compliant taxpayer. To obtain this exemption, the member must sign and submit to the entity a Nonresident Member Affidavit and Agreement to Comply with Maine Income Tax (Form 941AF- ME) acknowledging the fact that they are subject to Maine income tax laws and will make estimated payments and file income tax returns for the tax year as required by law. The entity must keep all affidavits in its records for at least six years, and must file Form 941P-ME for the relevant year and list the member on Form 941P-ME, Schedule 3P. If a member fails to comply with Maine tax law, MRS will disqualify the member and notify the entity in writing of the disqualification and the pass-through entity will be required to withhold for that member in subsequent periods. If there is significant noncompliance among the members of an entity, all nonresident members of the entity may be disqualified. A nonresident member who has been previously disqualified by MRS is not eligible to participate in the compliant taxpayer exemption. Composite taxpayer exemption. A member may obtain an exemption from pass-through entity withholding by agreeing to participate in a composite income tax return. A composite return is a simplified group return filed by the entity. Only natural persons and certain trusts may be included in a composite return. For a full description of the composite return and the filing process, see MRS Rule 805 and Form 1040C-ME, available at maine.gov/revenue/ tax-return-forms. Do not withhold from members who have agreed to participate in the annual composite filing. The steps below must be followed in order for the nonresident member to qualify for the composite taxpayer exemption: (a) The entity must collect a Nonresident Member Agreement to Participate in a Composite Filing of Maine Income Tax (Form 941CF-ME) from each nonresident member electing to participate in the composite group filing for the taxable year. (b) The entity must make estimated tax payments on behalf of the composite filing group if the aggregate estimated Maine income tax liability is greater than $1,000 for the calendar year. For more information about estimated payments for composite groups, see the instructions and worksheets for Forms 1040C-ES-ME and d 2210ME. (c) The entity must timely file a composite return on behalf of the composite filing group. Instructions for filing a composite return can be found with Form 1040C-ME at maine.gov/ revenue/tax-return-forms. (d) The entity must file Form 941P-ME and list the participating members on Form 941P-ME, Schedule 3P. If these requirements are not met, the withholding obligation is not waived and the entity will be liable for withholding payments and related interest and penalty charges. General Information, continued Requested exemptions. Requested exemptions are for members that do not qualify for the compliant taxpayer, composite filing or automatic exemptions. If a pass-through entity believes, for reasons other than those identified above, that it should be exempt from the withholding requirement, or the entity would like to propose an alternate application of the withholding requirement, the entity may apply for an exemption. Requested exemptions require prior written authorization from MRS. To apply, submit a letter of explanation to Maine Revenue Services, P.O. Box 9107, Augusta, ME 04332-9107 as soon as possible prior to the withholding deadline. Generally, MRS will respond to exemption requests within 60 days. However, if the exemption request involves a complicated pass-through entity structure (i.e., tiered entities), more time may be required. If the request is approved, the entity must list the exempt members on Form 941P-ME, Schedule 3P when it files Form 941P-ME for the relevant year. If the entity requesting an exemption does not receive a decision from MRS prior to the withholding deadline, the entity must submit the required withholding. The exemption will apply only to the calendar year for which it is requested. Tiered entities For purposes of Maine pass-through entity withholding, tiered entities exist when one pass-through entity is a member of another pass-through entity. The pass-through entity that is a member is the upper-tier entity, and the entity of which it is a member is the lowertier entity. A tiered pass-through entity arrangement may have more than two tiers; in such cases, a single entity can be both a lower-tier and an upper-tier entity. In this case, withholding is required from any Maine-source distributable income realized by the lower-tier entity that is passing through to an upper-tier entity member. This income is exempt from any additional withholding by upper-tier entity members (i.e., the entities in tiers 2, 3, 4, etc.). However, if an upper-tier entity realizes Maine-source income from a lower-tier entity that did not withhold, the upper-tier entity is required to withhold from the distributive share Maine-source income of its non-exempt members. If an upper-tier entity's only Maine-source income is income from a lower-tier entity that has already paid Maine pass-through entity withholding, the upper-tier entity is not required to complete Form 941P-ME, Schedule 2P as it has no withholding obligation. However, in this case, the upper-tier entity is still required to issue Forms 1099ME to its members to identify in Box 2 each member's share of the tax withheld by the lower-tier entity, and the name and ID number of the lower-tier entity in Box 4. Automatic exemptions for tiered entities. If an upper-tier entity has one or more members that are automatically exempt, it may notify the lower-tier entity in writing of the proportion of income that qualifies for the automatic exemption. The lower-tier entity must then treat only the remaining portion of the upper-tier's share of income as being either subject to withholding or exempt under the compliant taxpayer exemption as described in the following section. Compliant taxpayer exemption for tiered entities. A lower-tier entity is not required to withhold from an upper-tier pass-through entity member if that member provides to the lower-tier entity a Nonresident Member Affidavit and Agreement to Comply with Maine Income Tax (Form 941AF-ME). The lower-tier entity must list the exempt upper-tier entity on Form 941P-ME, Schedule 3P. By filing Form 941AF-ME, the upper-tier entity member agrees to assume responsibility for the pass-through entity withholding requirement for its members with respect to the lower-tier entity income, including the application of any exemptions.

# Specific Instructions

Form 1099ME After the calendar year end and by January 31, the pass-through entity must supply a copy of Form 1099ME to each nonresident member for whom there was pass-through entity withholding for the calendar year. Follow the Form 1099ME instructions to complete the form. Form 1099ME is available at maine.gov/revenue/taxreturn-forms or by calling (207) 624-7894. General Information, continued Do NOT attach copies of Forms 1099ME to Form 941P-ME. A person who furnishes a false or fraudulent Form 1099ME or fails to furnish a Form 1099ME to a recipient of income subject to withholding paid to that person commits a civil violation for which a fine of $50 for each failure may be imposed. The recipient of Form 1099ME must attach a copy of the form to its Maine income tax return in order to receive credit for the amount withheld for the year.

# Schedule 1P - Entity Apportionment

Lines 4a - 4c. Maine Apportionment Factor. The apportionment factor is a fraction, the numerator of which includes the total sales of the pass-through entity in Maine during the tax period, and the denominator of which includes the total sales of the pass-through entity everywhere in the U.S. during the tax period. Entities operating on a fiscal year basis must enter apportionment data for the fiscal year that ended during the calendar year. For additional guidance, see the instructions to Form 1120ME, Schedule A (apportionment of tax) and MRS Rule 801. Line 4a. Enter the Maine sales of the pass-through entity. Enter zero if the entity had no Maine sales. If the entity filing this return received Maine-source income from other pass-through entities, enter on line 4a the combined Maine sales of the entity filing this return and its share of the Maine sales of the other pass-through entities. Line 4b. Enter the total U.S. sales of the pass-through entity. Enter zero if the entity had no U.S. sales. If the entity filing this return received Maine-source income from other pass-through entities, enter on line 4b the combined U.S. sales of the entity filing this return and its share of the U.S. sales of the other pass-through entities. Line 4c. Enter the Maine apportionment factor of the pass-through entity. Generally, the apportionment factor is calculated by dividing the entity's Maine sales by its total U.S. sales (line 4a divided by line 4b). Line 5. Entity income or loss of the pass-through entity. Enter the entity income or loss for the entity's tax year. If the entity operates on a fiscal year basis, enter the income or loss for the fiscal year ending during the calendar year. Entity income or loss is calculated as follows: Partnerships: Federal Form 1065, Schedule K, lines 1 through 11 less federal Form 1065, Schedule K, lines 12, 13d(2) and 13e (excluding items of itemized deductions reportable on federal Form 1040, Schedule A). S Corporations: Federal Form 1120-S, Schedule K, lines 1 through 10 less federal Form 1120-S, Schedule K, lines 11, 12d and 12e (excluding items of itemized deductions reportable on federal Form 1040, Schedule A). Third Party Designee. Complete this section to allow MRS to call or accept information from another person to discuss the entity's 2024 Maine pass-through entity withholding return. Choose any 5-digit number which will be used to ensure MRS employees speak with only the designated individual. This authorization will automatically end on March 16, 2026.

# Schedule 2P - Pass-through Entity Withholding Listing

Do not complete Form 941P-ME, Schedule 2P if the entity had no pass-through entity withholding for the calendar year. If necessary, attach additional Schedule(s) 2P to list all nonresident members that are not exempt from pass-through entity withholding. Complete all information for each Form 941P-ME, Schedule 2P page submitted. The amount of withholding for each member should equal the amount of withholding appearing in box 1 of Forms 1099ME. Do not include lower-tier entity withholding or real estate withholding. Column 6. Enter each member's last name, first name and middle initial. If a nonresident member is other than an individual, enter the business or entity name. Column 7. Enter each member's social security number or, if the nonresident member is other than an individual, the federal employer identification number. Column 8. Check this box if the ID number entered in Column 7 is an employer identification number. Column 9. Enter each partner's/shareholder's distributive share percentage in the pass-through entity. If the entity's tax year is other than the calendar year, enter each partner's/shareholder's distributive share percentage in the entity with respect to the entity's tax year that ends during the calendar year. For example, if the entity's tax year ends June 30, 2024, enter each partner's/ shareholder's distributive share percentage with respect to the entity's tax year that ends June 30, 2024. If, for example, the distributive share percentage for a partner/shareholder is 25%, enter the amount as 25.00. Column 10. Enter the total Maine income tax withheld for each member during the calendar year. Do not enter any member for which there was no pass-through entity withholding during the calendar year. Line 11. Enter the total Maine income tax withheld for members listed on this page. If there was no pass-through entity withholding for the calendar year, enter zero. Line 12. On the last Form 941P-ME, Schedule 2P page only, enter the total Maine income tax withheld for all Form 941P-ME, Schedule 2P pages. If there was no pass-through entity withholding for the calendar year, enter zero. The amount entered on this line should equal the amount entered on Form 941P-ME, line 1 and should also equal the total of amounts entered in Box 1 of Forms 1099ME issued to nonresident members for the calendar year. Specific Instructions, continued

# Schedule 3P - List of Exempt Members
