MARYLAND EMPLOYER WITHHOLDING
3

1. INTRODUCTION
The withholding of Maryland income tax is a part of the
state’s “pay-as-you-go” plan of income tax collection
adopted by the 1955 session of the Maryland General
Assembly. The provisions are set forth in the Tax-General
Article of the Annotated Code of Maryland.
The law aids in the proper collection of taxes required to be
reported by individuals with taxable income.
Generally speaking, the state’s system resembles the federal
withholding plans. The distinctive differences between the
state and federal systems are explained in this guide.
Withholding tax is not an additional tax, but merely a
­collection device. Its purpose is to collect tax at the source,
as the wages are earned, instead of collecting the tax a year
after the wages were earned.
Under the law, the sums withheld must be recorded by the
employer or payor in a ledger account to clearly indicate
the amount of tax withheld and that the tax withheld is the
­property of the State of Maryland.
Funds set aside by the employer or payor from taxes
­withheld are deemed by law to be held in trust for the use
and benefit of the State of Maryland. Any employer or payor
who negligently fails to either withhold the required tax or
to pay it to the Comptroller, or both, is held personally and
­individually liable for all monies involved.
If the employer is a corporate entity, the personal liability
extends and is applicable to the officer or agent of the
corporation whose duty it is to withhold the tax and
transmit it to the Comptroller as required by law.
To help keep accurate employer records, every employer
subject to the withholding provisions of the Maryland law
is assigned a Central Registration Number (CRN) (this is
your eight-digit Maryland tax account number). The Federal
Employer Identification Number (FEIN) assigned to you by
the IRS for federal purposes also is used for record-keeping
purposes. If you do not have a FEIN when you apply for
a Maryland account, we will assign you a CRN. When you
receive your FEIN, you should notify us immediately.
2. HOW THE LAW APPLIES
Employers
Generally, an employer is a person or organization, subject
to the jurisdiction of Maryland, for whom an individual
performs a service as an employee.
An employer who is not required by law to withhold Maryland
income tax may withhold Maryland income tax through
a voluntary arrangement with the employees or payees,
provided that the employer registers with the Revenue
Administration Division. This arrangement must conform to
the Maryland withholding and payment requirements.
All employers must register with Maryland
All employers are required to register with the Revenue
Administration Division by filing a Combined Registration
Application Form CRA. You also can register online at
www.marylandtaxes.gov. The employer will be assigned
a CRN that will be used for employer income tax withholding
as well as most other Maryland business taxes.
Do not wait until withholding payments are due to register as
an employer. Contact the Revenue Administration Division,
Annapolis, Maryland 21411 (410-260-7980) as soon as you
know you will be paying wages and withholding taxes.
You should have only one CRN for withholding purposes. If
you have more than one, notify the Revenue Administration
Division.
If you acquire another employer’s business, do not use
the number assigned to that business. Request a
Combined Registration Application Form CRA from the

Revenue Administration Division or register online at www.
marylandtaxes.gov. You must include your CRN and FEIN,
if available, on all forms, attachments and correspondence
you send to the Revenue Administration Division.
For withholding purposes “employee” means:
•	
An individual, whether a resident or nonresident of
Mary­
land, who performs any service in Maryland for
wages.
•	A resident of Maryland who performs any service outside
this state for wages.
•	
An officer, employee, or elected official of the United
States, Maryland, or any other state or territory, or any
political subdivision thereof, or the District of Columbia,
or any agency or instrumentality of any of the above.
•	An officer of a corporation.
Employees' Social Security numbers
You must record the name and address of each employee
or payee exactly as it appears on the Social Security card.
If a new employee does not have a Social Security card,
have the employee obtain one at any Social Security
Administration office.
Records to keep
You are required to keep all records pertaining to the
payment of wages and the deduction and withholding of
Maryland income tax. These records must be available
for inspection by the Revenue Administration Division and
include:
•	
The amounts and dates of all wage payments to each
employee.
•	
The amounts and dates for all Maryland income taxes
­withheld from wage payments to each employee.
• 	­The name, address, Social Security Number, and period
of employment for each employee.
•	Each employee’s exemption certificate.
• 	­
Your identification number, the amount of Maryland
income tax withheld and paid to the Comptroller of
Maryland, and the dates payments were made.
All records should be retained for a period of at least three
years after the date the tax to which they relate became
due or the date the tax was paid, whichever is later.
Penalties for failing to comply
Any employer who fails to file returns or remit amounts
collected as required is subject to a penalty not to exceed
25% of the unpaid tax.
If an employer pays tax, interest or penalty by check (or
other instrument) that is not honored by the bank on which
it is drawn, the employer shall be assessed a service charge
of $30.
Remember! The money you withhold from your
employees is held in trust for the State of Maryland.
Civil and Criminal Penalties
Civil Penalties
» Suspension or revocation of all business licenses issued
by the State to the employer for willful failure to withhold
or pay income tax to the Comptroller.
» 
Imposition of a $50 penalty for each violation for
willful failure to provide an income tax statement or for
providing a false withholding statement.
Also, for willful non-compliance with a wage lien, the
employer will be personally liable for excess wages paid
to an employee subject to the lien. In addition, all unpaid
withholding tax, interest and penalties, constitute a lien in
favor of the State of Maryland, extending to all real and

MARYLAND EMPLOYER WITHHOLDING

personal property belonging to the employer.
Criminal Penalties (Upon Conviction)
» Not to exceed ten thousand dollars ($10,000) or
imprisonment not exceeding five years or both, for:
• Willful failure to file a return.
• Willful failure to withhold the required tax.
• Willful failure to pay the tax withheld to the Comptroller.
» Not to exceed five-hundred dollars ($500) or
imprisonment not exceeding six months or both, for:
• Willful failure to provide a copy of withholding tax
statement.
• Providing a false or fraudulent withholding tax
statement.
• Failure to provide information on a withholding
certificate or for filing a false certificate.
• Willful failure to pay to the Comptroller salary wages
or compensation subject to a salary lien.
3. PAYMENTS SUBJECT TO WITHHOLDING
Taxable wages
For withholding purposes, “wages” mean all compensation
for services performed by an employee, including the
cash value of all remuneration paid in any medium other
than cash. (Exceptions are listed later in this section.)
These exceptions are similar to the exclusions for federal
withholding purposes, so that in most instances wages
subject to federal withholding also will be subject to
Maryland withholding.
Taxable “wages” include all employee compensation, such as
salaries, fees, bonuses, commissions, vacation allowances,
back pay and retroactive increases.
Wages paid in any form other than money are measured
by their fair market value. These include lodging, meals,
property or other considerations for personal services.
Agricultural wages subject to Social Security (FICA) tax are
subject to Maryland withholding tax. Tips and gratuities
paid to an employee by a customer also are subject to
withholding tax in the same manner as reported for federal
purposes.
Withholding is not required for the following:
•	Domestic service in a private home, local college club or
local chapter of a college fraternity or sorority.
•	
Services performed by a duly ordained, commissioned
or licensed minister of a church in the exercise of his
ministry or by a member of a religious order in the
­exercise of duties required by such order.
•	
Nonresident individuals employed as seamen upon
vessels engaged in oceanic and foreign trade or
commerce while such vessels are within any of the ports
of Maryland.
•	Single and student employees whose total income
will be less than the minimum filing requirement.
(See page 8.)
•	
Employees paid at a rate of less than $5,000
annually.
Nonresident employees subject to withholding
A nonresident is not subject to tax if:
•	
His income consists entirely of wages or other
compensation for personal services performed in
Maryland; and
•	The state of residence has agreed in writing to allow a
­reciprocal exemption from tax and withholding for each
other’s residents.
As a result of this provision, the residents of a number of

states are exempt and no withholding of Maryland tax is
to be made by the employer. Under such circumstances,
it is necessary that Maryland Form MW507, Employee
Maryland Withholding Exemption Certificate, be filed with
the employer in which the employee certifies that he resides
within one of the reciprocal states listed on the form.
Nonresidents from states that have no income tax law or
have no written reciprocal income tax agreement with this
state are subject to Maryland tax and withholding must be
made from salaries and wages for services performed in
Maryland.
Withholding is also required in a sale or exchange of real
property and associated tangible personal property owned
by a nonresident or nonresident entity.
Lottery & gambling winnings subject to withholding
Lottery and other gambling winnings in excess of $5,000
are subject to with­holding at a rate of 8.75% for Maryland
residents or 7.5% for nonresidents. Pari-mutuel (horse
racing) winnings in excess of $5,000 and at least 300 times
as large as the original wager are subject to the same
withholding rates.
Exemption certificate
At the time of or before hiring a new employee, the
employer must obtain a certificate of exemption, Maryland
Form MW507, from the employee. This certificate authorizes
the employer to withhold Maryland income tax from the
employee's salary, based on the number of withholding
exemptions claimed on Form MW507. Often, the number of
withholding exemptions will correspond with the number of
personal exemptions allowed the employee in computing his
tax on his Maryland income tax return.
However, if the employee expects that his federal adjusted
gross income will exceed $100,000 (or $150,000 if filing a joint
income tax return) he must use the worksheet to recalculate
the number of withholding exemptions to which he is entitled.
The value of personal exemptions will be reduced at this
income level on the Maryland income tax return. (To see the
reduction in exemptions, at the various income levels, go to
page two of Maryland Form MW507 which can be obtained
at www.marylandtaxes.gov.)
Also, if the employee expects that the amount of Maryland
income tax withheld will not equal the Maryland tax liability,
he must use the worksheet to recalculate the number of
exemptions to which he is entitled. The employee also may
enter into an agreement with the employer to have an
additional amount of tax withheld. As long as the number
of withholding exemptions claimed by the employee does
not exceed the number he is entitled under the law, the
total withholding exemptions shown on the Maryland Form
MW507 do not have to agree with the total shown on the
federal Form W-4.
When a new employee files a certificate, the employer
must make it effective with the first payment of wages.
A certificate, once filed with the employer, will remain in
effect until a new certificate is filed.
If an employee fails to furnish a certificate, the employer is
required to withhold the tax as if the employee had claimed
one withholding exemption.
An employer is required to submit a copy of the exemption
certificate received by the Compliance Division if:
1. The employer has any reason to believe this certificate
is incorrect.
2. The employee claims more than ten (10) exemptions.
3. The employee claims exemption from withholding on the
basis of nonresidence.
4. The employee claims exemption from withholding
because he/she has no tax liability this year, and the

MARYLAND EMPLOYER WITHHOLDING
5

wages are expected to exceed $200 a week.
5. The employee claims an exemption from withholding
under the Military Spouses Residency Relief Act. (In this
case, Form MW507M must be completed and attached to
Form MW507.)
When the exemption certificate is received, the Compliance
Division will make a determination and will notify the
employer if a change is required.
Withholding for annuity, sick pay and retirement
distributions
A payee of an annuity, sick pay or retirement distribution
may request the payor to withhold tax with respect to
payments of annuities, sick or retirement distribution
­payments. If such a request is made, the payor must deduct
and withhold the tax as required. The amount requested
to be withheld from each sick pay, annuity payment or
retirement distribution must be a whole dollar amount
of at least $5 per month for annuities and retirement
distributions, and at least $2 per daily payment in the case
of sick pay.
Mandatory withholding on retirement distributions
When a rollover distribution is subject to a mandatory federal
withholding, the eligible rollover distribution of Maryland
residents is subject to a mandatory state withholding of
7.75%. Otherwise, such withholding should not take place
unless requested by the payee.
Tax-exempt organizations
Entities which are tax-exempt organizations under IRC
501(c)(3), and that are eligible to claim the Maryland
Disability Employment Tax Credit or the Commuter Tax
Credit against their withholding taxes, will use Form
MW508CR to claim the amount of credit.
The paper
version of Form 500CR has been discontinued. MW508CR
is attached to MW508 for employers submitting fewer than
25 Forms W-2 or 1099. MW508CR is attached to Form
MW508A for those employers required to file electronically.
See Administrative Release 34
4. DETERMINING THE AMOUNT TO BE WITHHELD
Maryland law provides that the Comptroller develop
withholding tax schedules to approximate the tax on wages,
without considering the tax rates in effect that are less than
4.75%.
In this guide, you will find the appropriate percentage for
the computation of the amount of Maryland income tax to
be withheld. Apply the applicable percentage to the taxable
income. Note: there are two different rates explained
below.
The SINGLE rate is used by single employees; employees
who are dependents on another person's tax return, or
employees who are Married planning to file separately. The
JOINT rate is used by Married taxpayers who plan to file
joint returns, employees who qualify for Head of Household
status on their tax return, or for employees who qualify as
Widow or Widower with a dependent child.
For employees who are residents of Maryland, use the rate
corresponding to the area where the employee lives. Since
each county sets its local income tax rate, there is the
possibility of having 24 different local income tax rates.
To reduce the number of local income tax rates, we have
established 14 local income tax rates. Use the rate that
equals or slightly exceeds the actual local income tax rate
to ensure that sufficient tax is withheld.
For employees who are not residents of Maryland, use the
Nonresident rate, which includes no local tax; but does
include the Special 1.75% Nonresident rate.
For employees who are residents of Maryland and are
working and paying withholding taxes in Delaware or any

other nonreciprocal state, use the Delaware/Nonreciprocal
state rate, which includes local tax and credit for taxes paid
to another state or locality.
Withholding is a combination of the state income tax rate
and local taxes. When using the percentage method of
withholding, the employer must follow these four steps:
1. Subtract an allowance for Standard Deduction (15
percent of wages for the payroll period with a minimum
and maximum as set forth for the particular payroll)
from the employee’s wages.
2. Multiply the amount of one withholding exemption for
the payroll period by the number of exemptions claimed
on the employee’s Form MW507.
3. Subtract the amount determined in Step 2 from the
employee’s wages.
4. Apply the appropriate percentage rate table to the
resulting figure to determine the amount of withholding,
based on the employee’s county of residence. If the
employee is a resident of a nonreciprocal state, use the
special nonresident tax rate.

5. HOW TO FILE
For filing purposes, employers will fall into one of five types
of filing categories:
• Accelerated – those employers who were required to
withhold $15,000 or more for the preceding calendar year
and who have $700 or more of accumulated withholding
are required to remit the withholding payment within
three business days following that payroll (pay date).
You may request a waiver allowing monthly returns.
A renewal of the waiver also is available if eligibility
to file federal withholding tax returns on a monthly
basis is unchanged. Pay date is defined as the date the
paychecks are made ­available to employees.
• Quarterly – those employers with less than $700 of
withholding per quarter who are required to remit the
tax withheld on a quarterly basis.
• Monthly – those employers with more than $700 of
withholding in any one quarter who are required to remit
the tax withheld on a monthly basis.
• Seasonal – those employers who operate only during
certain months. You must obtain prior approval to file
­
on a seasonal basis. If approval is granted, you would
only be required to file reports during the period your
business is in operation.
• A nnual – those employers with less than $250
withholding per calendar year are required to remit
the tax withheld on an annual basis. The due date for
filing an annual Form MW506 is the last day of January
following the year to which such withholding applies. In
addition, annual filers must file the Annual Reconciliation
Form MW508 with the Form W-2 for each employee.
bFile
This online service is used to file and pay Employer’s Return
of Income Tax Withheld (MW506). A valid FEIN or SSN and
Maryland CRN (this is your eight-digit Maryland tax account
number) are required. If you have not registered to file
Maryland business taxes or do not have a CRN, you may
register on our Web site at www.marylandtaxes.gov.
You may be asked to provide a bank routing and transit
number (RTN) and a depositor’s account number (DAN) to
make payments of business taxes. The funds automatically
will be withdrawn from your bank account on the date
specified.
Do not send a paper return when using bFile, this

online service supports the current year and two previous
years. If your return is for a prior period, you may request
these forms by calling Taxpayer Service 410-260-7980, or
e-mail taxhelp@comp.state.md.us.
The Revenue Administration Division has sent postcards to
withholding filers advising them we no longer send paper
coupon books unless the postcard was returned or an
e-mail was received requesting them. This is an effort to
reduce and/or eliminate paper processing and to encourage
employers to use the online service which has many
benefits to offer:
Fast – Enter your business and bank information once.
The information will be filled in each time you file a return,
using auto-fill.
Accurate – The automatic fill-in feature eliminates the risk
of accidently entering wrong business or bank information
when you file your return.
Easy – bFile supports filing and associating multiple
businesses under one user registration. A list of the
businesses will be displayed when you log on.
History – All returns you file while logged on will be
accessible to view in a consolidated list.
You must include your CRN, and, if available, your
FEIN on all withholding forms or other correspondence.
This will ensure that all payments and/or adjustments are
properly ­posted to your account.
Each year, the Revenue Administration Division analyzes
accounts. If a payment record requires a change in filing
frequency, the employer will be notified. An employer may
file a written request to change the filing frequency, which if
approved will change at the beginning of the next calendar
year. For paper filers, the coupon book for the new calendar
year will reflect any change.
The due dates of returns are as follows:

If a due date falls on a Saturday, Sunday or holiday,

W-2 Wage and Tax Statements
On or before January 31 of each year, employers must
provide a wage and tax statement, federal Form W-2, to
each employee. To ensure consistency in reporting, the
Revenue Administration Division will require the state tax
withheld (box 17) and local tax withheld (box 19) to be
combined and reported as one amount in box 17 (state
income tax), and leave box 18 (local wages) blank. The
state pickup amount must be reported in box 14 (other). In
addition, the word “STPICKUP” is to appear in box 14 (other)
of your employees’ year-end printed Form W-2.
Year-End Reconciliation
On or before January 31st of each year, employers must
file a year end reconciliation to the Revenue Administration
Division using Form MW508. Employers have four options
to file their Form MW508. Employers who have 25 or more
W-2s to report are required to file electronically and must
select option 1, 2 or 3. Employers who have less than 25
W-2s to report may use option 4 – paper filing, however,

we encourage all employers regardless of the number of
statements to file electronically using one of the first three
options below.
Any underpayment must be submitted with the reconciliation.
If the account is overpaid, please indicate on the MW508,
whether you wish to have the overpayment refunded or
applied as a credit to future periods. If you request the
credit, please wait for notification of approval prior to using
the credit.
To obtain a complete copy of the 2017 Maryland Employer
Reporting of W-2s Instructions and Specifications booklet,
please visit www.marylandtaxes.gov.
(1) bFile Bulk Upload Application. This application
allows the user (employers/payroll providers) to log
in to our bFile application and upload a text file in the
modified EFW2 format. This application uses the same
registration used for filing Withholding and Sales and
Use Tax returns and payments. As a registered user,
you will create a history that can be viewed by you
whenever you log in to the application.
The Bulk Upload application is designed to accept one
file and validate it before it will accept another file.
We recommend that individuals who submit data for
multiple employers create a separate registration for
each employer, or create one logon and append all
employer data in one file.
Of the four required records within the electronic text
file, the RV record is an electronic version of the paper
form MW508, and is a required record if you file using
this option. If requesting an overpayment or refund, the
request must be included in the RV record.
Also, in the “RV” record, the NAICS code (Business
Activity Code) field position 333-338 is a required 6
digit field (included on the paper MW508). Blanks in
these positions will cause your file to be rejected.
The North American Industry Classification System
(NAICS) is the standard used by federal statistical
agencies in classifying business establishments for
the purpose of collecting, analyzing, and publishing
statistical data related to the U.S. business economy.
To find your NAICS code, please reference http://
www.census.gov/eos/www/naics/ or call 301763-INFO (4636)/ 800-923-8282 (Census Bureau).
The bFile Bulk Upload Testing Application is available
as well. This application allows users to test their
ability to upload and transmit their W-2s and MW508s
using a text or zip file, prior to uploading their annual
production file.
NOTE: at this time, 1099s cannot be submitted using
this method.
(2) bFile File Withholding Reconciliation Application.
This application allows the user (employers/payroll
providers) to log in to our bFile application and
manually key the data from their MW508 and up to 250
W-2 forms. Each W-2 must be keyed in individually,
and the user receives confirmation of the filing when
completed. This application uses the same registration
used for filing Withholding and Sales and Use Tax
returns and payments. As a registered user, you will
create a history that can be viewed by you whenever
you log in to the application. Only one MW508 may be
filed online per business per tax year. If you need to
correct a submitted filing then you must complete a
paper form MW508A which can be downloaded from our
website.
(3) File Using Magnetic Media. This option allows the
user (employers/payroll providers) to file on a CD or 3
½ inch diskette. The records must be in the modified
EFW2 format.

The reporting of 1099 withholding on the MW508 may
be submitted by magnetic media or paper. If submitting
25 or more 1099s, you are required to file by magnetic
media. There is no other mode of electronic submission
of 1099s.
To obtain a complete copy of The Magnetic
Media Specification Booklet please visit www.

NOTE: For questions on bFile Bulk Upload Application,
bFile File Withholding Reconciliation Application or File
Using Magnetic Media, please contact the Revenue
Administration Division at 410-260-7150.
(4) File Using Paper This option is available to employers
and payroll providers who have fewer than 25 W-2
forms to report. To file by paper you must:
• Complete Form MW508.
• Attach all applicable W-2s and 1099s.
• Then mail to:
	Revenue Administration Division
Returns Processing, Room 206
110 Carroll Street
Annapolis, Maryland 21411-0001

Name, Address, Federal Employer Identification
Number Changes and Final Returns.
You can make changes to your name, address, FEIN, and
more online; or use the change of address or ownership
form in the coupon book. Do not make the changes on the
Form MW506. If you have elected to continue to use the
coupon books, they will reflect the new information you have
provided when they are prepared for the new calendar year.
If your FEIN has changed, you may be issued another
coupon book reflecting the new identification number. If
you are using our online options and have updated the FEIN
online, nothing more needs to be done.
You must indicate if the business has been sold or
discontinued. You can do this online as well as using Form
MW506FR. You must notify the Comptroller of Maryland if
withholding has temporarily stopped as well as an ending
date for the temporary stoppage.
Amendments
MW506A or MW506AM
The Form MW506A is used to amend Form MW506 information
for the current calendar year. Enter the period and year
being amended. Enter the previously reported and remitted
amounts under “Previously Reported.” Enter the figures
reflecting the change to the reported amounts under
“Correct Reported.”
If the correct amount is greater than the previously
reported amount, enter the difference in the underpayment/
remittance block, and attach a check or money order
payable to the Comptroller of Maryland.
If the amount is less than the previously reported amount,
enter the amount in the overpayment block. You may
use this amount as a refund or credit against future
withholdings. If you are requesting a credit, please wait for
notification of approval prior to using the credit on a future
period. Please check the appropriate box for a credit or
refund on Form MW506A.
MW508A

If you are not required to report electronically by federal
or Maryland law, and do not wish to submit individual wage
and tax statements, using federal Form W-2 (copy 1), the
Revenue Administration Division will accept a computer
printout provided it contains all of the following information:
• Employer name
• Employer address
•	Employer Central Registration Number and Federal
Employer Identification Number (FEIN)
• Employee name
• Employee address

The Form MW508A is used to amend Form MW508
­information.
Enter the figures from the originally filed Form MW508
in the “Previously Reported” column. Enter the figures
reflecting changes created by the Forms W-2C in the
“Corrected Amounts” column.
If the amount on line 3, “Corrected Amounts” column,
is greater than the amount on line 2, attach a check or
money order payable to the Comptroller of Maryland for the
amount on line 5.
If the amount on line 2 is greater than the amount on line
3, attach a statement containing the following information:
1. 
Details how the overpayment occurred with all W-2s
pertaining to that overpayment.

• Employee Social Security Number
• Employee gross earnings
• Employee Maryland earnings
•	Amount of Maryland state and local tax withheld from
employee (one figure)
The printout should list the employee’s names in alphabetical
order or Social Security number order. Employers reporting
on computer printouts are still required to furnish each
employee with the annual wage and tax statement, or
federal Form W-2, for reporting salaries and wages for
Maryland tax withheld on the employee’s individual tax
returns.
For all corrections to individual employee accounts, a Form
W2C must be submitted on paper.

2. 
Whether you will use the overpayment as a credit
against Maryland withholding tax for a future period,
or if you prefer a direct refund. If you are requesting
a credit, please wait for notification of approval
prior to using the credit on a future period.
3. The method by which you submitted the original W-2,
(magnetic tape, paper, etc.)
An employer is not allowed to adjust the amounts reported
as income tax withheld in a prior calendar year unless it is
to ­correct an administrative error. An administrative error
is any error that does not change the amount of income tax
that was actually withheld. Generally, an employer cannot
adjust the amounts reported for a prior year because the
employee uses the amount shown on Form W-2 as a credit
when filing the income tax return for the year.
