The Comptroller of Maryland will launch Maryland Tax Connect for individual taxpayers on September 1, replacing several legacy tax systems and marking the State’s first major tax administration modernization effort in more than three decades.
Maryland Tax Connect already serves business taxpayers. Beginning September 1, individual taxpayers will also use the portal to file returns, make payments, review account information, access notices, check balances, and manage payment plans through a single online system.
According to the Comptroller’s Office, the new platform will provide real-time account information, expanded self-service options, direct debit and e-check payment capabilities, and access to filing and payment history.
The transition will require a temporary shutdown of several existing systems as the Comptroller migrates billions of tax records into the new platform. To minimize disruption, the State scheduled the transition during a period when tax filing activity is typically lower.
