Common Maryland State Tax Issues
Our legal team has extensive experience handling all Maryland state tax issues, including:
- Back Taxes: If you have an unpaid tax liability our attorneys can help you find a strategy to become current.
- Installment Plans: If you cannot afford to pay your tax bill in full, we can create a custom installment payment plan that allows you to spread your payments out over a set period of time.
- Offers in Compromise: The state may accept an Offer in Compromise if you cannot afford to pay your taxes in full or if there is a legitimate dispute over the amount of taxes due. This Offer in Compromise would allow you to pay less than the full amount that Maryland says you owe.
- Estimated Tax Payments: If you are self-employed and/or do a lot of contract work you may be required to submit estimated tax payments throughout the year. Our office can create a strategy to help you meet your obligations as a taxpayer and avoid penalties for noncompliance.
- Residency Disputes: Is Maryland demanding taxes from you, even though you are a non-resident? We can help to clear up residency issues by representing you in Maryland tax court. The majority of residency disputes (approximately 95 percent) are settled.
- Unfiled Returns: If you do not file your taxes you can face serious consequences. We can help to file prior year returns to minimize the penalties you face.
- Employment Tax: If you operate a business in Maryland and have employees, you are required to withhold and submit certain employment taxes. The procedures involved can be confusing if you are not familiar with the state's tax laws, and every year, these policies change. Our office can help to make sure that your obligations as a business taxpayer are met in full.
