| | Office of the Comptroller of Maryland News | | The Office of the Comptroller of Maryland announced that Maryland Tax Connect, the agency’s secure, self-service tax portal, will expand to serve individual taxpayers beginning September 1, 2026, marking the first system-wide modernization of Maryland’s tax infrastructure in more than 30 years. | |
Maryland Tax Connect is an online tax portal offering real-time account balances, complete filing history, and expanded self-service tools, already in use by Maryland businesses to file returns, manage accounts, and communicate directly with the Comptroller’s office. Beginning September 1, the portal will extend those same capabilities to individual filers, including the ability to file income tax returns, make estimated payments, set up payment plans, and more. The new portal will be free to use and available to all Maryland individual taxpayers beginning September 1.
This is one of the most significant technology investments Maryland has made in a generation, and change can be accompanied by challenges. That’s why the transition is scheduled for the end of August, when tax activity across the state is at its lowest, to minimize disruption for Marylanders. Because all of the data currently housed in our state’s mainframe system must be transitioned to the new cloud-based system, most services will be temporarily unavailable beginning in late July. If you have a payment due or a return to file in August, please review the schedule below and act before the applicable deadline.
