Maryland Tax Details
The Maryland Revenue Administration Division made a few changes for the 2021 tax year.
There are two new subtractions: a first-time homebuyer savings account subtraction and a subtraction for diapers, hygiene products, and monetary gifts made to qualified charitable entities. Two subtractions from 2020 are continuing for 2021: a subtraction for unemployment compensation and a subtraction for Coronavirus relief grant and loan programs.
There is a new addition and 10% penalty for funds withdrawn from a homebuyer savings account for a purpose other than eligible costs for the purchase of a home in the state.
Maryland added a new refundable income tax credit for a Catalytic Revitalization Project that substantially renovated a property formerly owned by the state or federal government.
In addition, Maryland extended the filing deadline until July 15, 2022. No interest or penalties will be assessed if returns are filed and taxes owed are paid by the new deadline.
We now support the e-filing of Maryland amendments.
