Some Maryland lawmakers are calling for millions in refunds for taxpayers after the state miscalculated a tax credit for homeowners.
FOX 5 broke the story in October after a state audit showed the Maryland State Department of Assessments and Taxation (SDAT) has been miscalculating the Homeowners’ Tax Credit since 2005, primarily impacting people in Montgomery County.
SDAT Director Michael Higgs appeared before lawmakers reviewing the audit on Tuesday.
“I’m reading an article that was written by Lindsay Watts with FOX 5 news right now, indicating that, yes, this agency has been aware of this issue for years,” said Sen. Ben Kramer (D-Montgomery Co.) “And either ignored it, failed to act on it or just outright decided we’re not going to change the policy despite the fact it conflicts with state law.”
