Paid preparers who have prepared 100 or more Maryland individual income tax returns in the prior tax year are required to file all individual income tax returns electronically unless the taxpayer requests paper filing or the preparer has received a waiver from the Comptroller. See the Government Instructions and Tax Help for more information.
PDF Attachments
PDF attachments are supported for electronic filing with Maryland returns. As you create returns for electronic filing, ProSeries will automatically track attachments required to be submitted with the Maryland e-file return. If you would like to attach some or all of these attachments as PDF files you can now access that option for the Maryland return under the e-file menu (either from within the return or on the HomeBase when the return is highlighted). The Electronic PDF attachments section of the Maryland Information Worksheet, Part VII keeps track of required attachments that have been attached as PDF.
For a list of forms that can be e-filed, go to What's New for Maryland.
The Maryland Revenue Administration Division scans computer-generated forms to quickly process the income tax returns it receives. To meet the requirements for producing computer-generated forms, ProSeries is required to limit the width of the tax information printed on forms that are scanned. In certain cases, data you entered may be truncated. After completing a tax return, review the information that prints (for example, mailing address information), make any necessary changes, and reprint the return before mailing it.
When printing your clients' returns for filing, do not scale, fit, or shrink pages. Only print Actual Size. Scaled returns cause Maryland's scanning to fail, requiring manual review and delayed processing.
