Even though Maryland has a centralized system for managing state tax obligations, the process is far from seamless. Outdated interfaces, multiple portals, and repeated data entry make tax season stressful, especially for freelancers, landlords, or business owners handling multiple filings.

If you’re responsible for any tax compliance in Maryland, here’s what the traditional workflow looks like — and how Remitian helps you skip the frustration.

The Traditional Way: Paying Maryland Taxes Manually

Maryland taxpayers often deal with several different tax types, including:

• Sales and Use Tax

• Withholding (Payroll) Tax

• Corporate Income Tax

• Individual Income Tax (if you’re a sole proprietor or gig worker)

All of these are managed through Maryland’s bFile system and the Maryland Tax Connect Portal, depending on the tax type.

1. Go to the Correct Maryland Tax Portal

🔗 https://interactive.marylandtaxes.gov
This is Maryland’s primary site for filing and paying business and individual taxes, including sales, use, and employer withholding.

• Business filers may also need to navigate to:
  🔗 https://taxconnect.marylandtaxes.gov

Navigating between the two can be confusing if you’re unsure which portal covers your filing.

2. Log In or Recover Credentials

If you haven’t logged in recently, be ready to recover your user ID, reset your password, or re-register your business. Security questions and verification delays can be common.

3. Select the Correct Tax Category

Once inside, you need to choose the correct filing type, whether that’s:

• Sales and Use

• Employer Withholding

• Estimated or Final Returns

• Corporation Income

Each has its section, and it’s easy to misfile if you manage multiple businesses or accounts.

4. Manually Enter Filing and Payment Details

For every return, you’ll be required to input:

• Maryland Central Registration Number (CRN), FEIN, or SSN

• Filing period

• Payment amount

• Bank or card info

There’s no intuitive history or smart autofill, even repeat filers must retype the same information every time.

5. Save or Print Your Confirmation

After submitting, you’ll receive a confirmation number, but it won’t be stored in one centralized place. If you forget to save or print, tracking it down later can be a hassle.

Why It Matters

Maryland’s tax systems are functional, but not optimized for modern business owners. Juggling multiple tax types, logins, and scattered records adds stress and risk to every filing season.
