Taxpayers with pressing agency business can go to Towson office
ANNAPOLIS, Md. (March 16, 2020) - Due to State Center office buildings being shut down, the Comptroller's Baltimore branch office located within the complex is also closed. Taxpayers with pressing agency business can visit the Towson branch office, located at 300 E. Joppa Road, Plaza Level 1A, Towson, MD 21286.
In addition to the Baltimore closure, the Upper Marlboro branch office is closed and there is limited public access to the Frederick office. Both offices are located in county courthouses and access is subject to local actions. The remaining nine branch offices, including Towson, remain open for taxpayer assistance from 8:30 a.m. - 4:30 p.m. For a complete list of branch offices, visit www.marylandtaxes.gov.
"Critical taxpayer services provided by our branch offices will be met by our staff, who will be exercising an abundance of public health caution," said Comptroller Franchot. "Our staff is committed to doing everything possible to ensure continuity of critical functions, including processing tax returns, distributing tax refunds, processing state payroll and making vendor payments."
More than ever, taxpayers are urged to file their Maryland state income tax returns electronically, including the use of direct deposit for refunds. Taxpayers can email their questions to taxhelp@marylandtaxes.gov or call 1-800-MD-TAXES for help weekdays from 8:30 a.m. - 7 p.m. (extended tax season hours remain in effect.)
Last week, Comptroller Franchot announced certain business tax payments currently due in March, April and May will now be due June 1. The extension applies to businesses filing sales and use tax, withholding tax, and admissions & amusement tax, as well as alcohol, tobacco and motor fuel excise taxes, tire recycling fee and bay restoration fee returns.
