Set up your Maryland filing

When setting up your Maryland return, you'll need to provide the following information.

If you're unsure about any of this information, check your state sales tax registration certificate or call the Maryland Comptroller at 800-638-2937 (press 4 for business tax information).

Do you have a physical presence in Maryland?

Physical presence may include: an office, storefront, employee, salesperson, contractor, warehouse, inventory, or trade show attendance.

  • If you answer YES, you'll be asked how many physical locations you have. You’ll then be asked to provide the address for your in-state physical location.
    • Note: TaxJar only supports users who have a single physical location in the state of Maryland.

Your Maryland tax account details

You'll need your sales tax registration information, which was provided to you by the state when you received your sales tax permit.

Have you exceeded the out-of-state vendor threshold?

Maryland requires out-of-state sellers that exceed $100,000 in gross revenue or 200 or more transactions to collect and remit sales tax.

Tax filing frequency

This is your filing frequency as assigned by the state or local tax authority. If you’re not sure, contact the tax authority.

You'll then see the first tax return we expect to file for you, based on the current date and the filing frequency you selected.

Review and submit

Take a moment to review your filing application. Once you've confirmed that all information is correct, click Submit.
