Maryland Payment Options
When filing your Maryland individual income tax return, you have several payment options available depending on your filing status and whether you owe taxes. Below are the key methods and forms associated with making payments to the Maryland Comptroller’s Office.
1. Payment Voucher (Form PV)
Form PV is used for making payments when you owe taxes. It is automatically generated by OLT (Online Taxes) software if your return shows a balance due. You must print and mail the voucher along with your payment.
- Use Form PV for payments with Form 502 or Form 505.
- Make checks or money orders payable to "Comptroller of Maryland".
- Write your last four digits of your Social Security Number (SSN), tax year, and tax type on the check or money order to avoid processing delays.
2. Electronic Filing and Payment
OLT (Online Taxes) software supports electronic filing and payment options. If you file electronically, you can choose to pay via credit card, debit card, or e-check. The software will guide you through the process.
3. Estimated Tax Payments (Form MD PVW)
If you are required to make estimated tax payments, you can use Form MD PVW (Payment Voucher Worksheet for Estimated Tax Payments). This form helps calculate and document your estimated payments.
- Available through OLT (Online Taxes) software under the Maryland State section.
- Select "yes" for completing Form MD PVW when prompted in the software.
4. Payment with Return (Form 505X)
If you are filing Form 505X (Maryland Nonresident/Part-Year Resident Income Tax Return) and including a payment, attach your check or money order on top of the form.
- Make payment payable to "Comptroller of Maryland".
- Include your last four digits of SSN, tax year, and tax type on the payment.
5. Extension Payments (Form 502UP)
For taxpayers who have requested an extension, Form 502UP (Instructions Underpayment of Estimated Income Tax by Individuals) provides guidance on calculating and paying estimated tax for the extension period.
