IMPORTANT NOTES

You must file your Maryland Amended Form 502X electronically to claim, or change information related to, business income tax credits from Form 500CR.

Changes made as part of an amended return are subject to audit for up to three years from the date that the amended return is filed.

WHEN AND WHERE TO FILE

Generally, Form 502X must be filed within three years from the date the original return was due (including extensions) or filed. The following exceptions apply:

•A claim filed after three years, but within two years from the time the tax was paid is limited to the amount paid within the two years immediately before filing the claim.

•A claim for refund based on a federal net operating loss carryback must be filed within 3 years after the due date (including extensions) of the return for the tax year of the net operating loss.

•A claim for refund resulting from a credit for taxes paid to another state must be filed within one year of the date of the final notification by the other state that income tax is due.

•If the claim for refund or credit for overpayment resulted from a final determination made by an administrative board or an appeal of a decision of an administrative board, that is more than three years from the date of filing the return or more than two years from the time the tax was paid, the claim for refund must be filed within one year of the date of the final decision of the administrative board or final decision of the highest court to which an appeal of the administrative board is taken.

•If the United States Internal Revenue Service (IRS) issues a final determination of adjustments that would result in a decrease to Maryland taxable income, file Form 502X within one year after the final adjustment report or the final court decision if appealed.

•If the IRS issued a final determination of adjustments that would result in an increase to Maryland taxable income, file Form 502X within 90 days after the final determination.

Do not file an amended return until sufficient time has passed to allow the original return to be processed. For current year returns, allow at least six weeks. Note that no refund for less than $1.00 will be issued.

The amended return must be filed electronically or with the

Comptroller of Maryland, Revenue Administration Division, 110 Carroll Street, Annapolis, Maryland 21411- 0001.

For more information regarding refund limitations, see Administrative Release 20.

PROTECTIVE CLAIMS

A protective claim is a claim for a specific amount of refund filed on an amended return with a request that the Comptroller delay acting on the refund request. The claim for refund may not be based on a federal audit. The delay requested must be due to a pending decision by a state or federal court which will affect the outcome of the refund, or for reasonable cause. The protective claim must be filed in accordance with the limitations outlined in the section WHEN AND WHERE TO FILE.

The Comptroller may accept or reject a protective claim. If rejected, the taxpayer will be informed of a right to a hearing. We cannot accept a protective claim unless an original return has been filed.

PENALTIES

There are severe penalties for failing to file a tax return, failing to pay any tax when due, filing false or fraudulent returns or making a false certification. The penalties include criminal fines, imprisonment and a penalty on your taxes. In addition, interest is charged on amounts not paid when due.

To collect unpaid taxes, the Comptroller is directed to enter liens against the salary, wages or property of delinquent taxpayers.

PRIVACY ACT INFORMATION

The Revenue Administration Division requests information on tax returns to administer the income tax laws of Maryland, including determination and collection of correct taxes. If you fail to provide all or part of the requested information, the exemptions, exclusions, credits, deductions or adjustments may be disallowed and you may owe more tax. In addition, the law provides penalties for failing to supply information required by law or regulations.

You may look at any records held by the Revenue Administration Division which contain personal information about you. You may inspect such records, and you have certain rights to amend or correct them.

As authorized by law, information furnished to the Revenue Administration Division may be given to the IRS, a proper official of any state that exchanges tax information with Maryland and to an officer of this state having a right to the information in that officer’s official capacity. The information also may be obtained with a proper legislative or judicial order.

USE OF FEDERAL RETURN

Most changes to your federal return will result in changes on your Maryland return and you will need the information from your federal amendment to complete your Maryland amended return. Therefore, complete your federal return first. Maryland law requires that your income and deductions be entered on your Maryland return exactly as they were reported on your federal return. However, all items reported on your Maryland return are subject to verification, audit and revision by the Maryland Comptroller’s Office.

If you are amending your federal return, attach a photocopy of the federal Form 1040X and any revised schedules to your Maryland Form 502X. If your tax has been increased by the IRS, you must report this increase to the Maryland Revenue Administration Division within 90 days from the final IRS determination.

Previous interest and penalty

Interest and/or penalty charges for the year you are amending, whether previously paid or still outstanding, may be adjusted as a result of your amendment. Any payments made on the account have been applied first to penalty, then to interest and lastly to tax due. These payments may require reallocation depending on the result of the amendment. We will notify you of the net balance due or refund when we have completed pro- cessing your Form 502X.

NOTE: If all or part of the overpayment on your original return was credited to an estimated tax account for next year, we cannot reduce or remove this credit without specific authoriza- tion from you. If you have a balance due, and wish to apply monies credited to a 2022 estimated tax account, attach writ- ten authorization for the amount to be removed. Interest charges are assessed even if the balance due is paid from the 2022 account.

Interest must be computed and paid on any balance of tax due. Interest is due from the date the return was originally due to be filed until the date the tax is paid. Interest is due at the rate of 9.0% annually or 0.7500%

per month for any month or part of a month that a tax is paid after the original due date of the 2022 return but before January 1, 2024. For assistance in calculating interest for tax paid on or after January 1, 2024, visit www.marylandtaxes.gov.

nonresident, see Instruction 14. Complete Part III with a full explanation of your reasons for the change. A nonresident of Maryland is subject to tax on income from Maryland sources; that is, wages and salaries from services performed in Maryland, income from business carried on in Maryland, gambling winnings from Maryland sources, income from pass-through entities with Maryland income and gain or loss from the sale of property located in Maryland. Other income (interest, dividends, pensions, salaries or business income from sources outside Maryland, etc.) may be subtracted. Itemized deductions must be allocated according to the Maryland income factor. Exemptions must be prorated according to the Maryland income factor.

If you are amending to show part-year resident status, include dates of residence and indicate the other state of residence in Part III. Subtract all income received during your nonresident period. If you have any losses or adjustments to federal income that do not pertain to the resident period, you must show them as additions. Your standard deduction or itemized deductions and exemptions must be prorated according to the Maryland income factor. Be sure to enter the dates of residence in Part

IIIand attach a photocopy of the income tax return filed with the other state or states of residence. If you are changing your status from a nonresident to a resident, you must use Form 502X and follow the instructions as written.

Maryland Income Factor

You must adjust your standard or itemized deductions and exemptions based on the percentage of your income subject to Maryland tax. Divide your Maryland adjusted gross income (line 5) by your federal adjusted gross income (line 1) to figure the percentage of Maryland income to total income. Use amended amounts if either of these lines were changed. The factor cannot exceed 1 (100%) and cannot be less than zero (0%). If line 5 is 0 or less, the factor is 0. If line 5 is greater than 0 and line 1 is 0 or less, the factor is 1. Another method of allocating itemized deductions may be allowed if you receive written approval prior to the filing of your return.

14 NONRESIDENTS.

Generally, nonresident taxpayers will use Form 505X and Form 505NR to amend their return; however, nonresidents who wish to amend Form 515, must use Form 502X and a revised Form 505NR.

In addition, if you are changing from nonresident to resident status, you must use Form 502X and see Instruction 13.

15 NET OPERATING LOSS (NOL).

To claim a deduction for a federal NOL on the Maryland return, you must first calculate the NOL for federal purposes. A deduction will be allowed on the Maryland return for the amount of the loss actually used on the federal return. The amount of loss used for federal purposes is generally equal to the federal taxable income (before loss is used) or the federal modified taxable income as calculated for the year of carryback or carryforward.

An addition or subtraction modification may be required in a carryback or carryforward year when the federal NOL, or the year to which the NOL is carried, includes certain items included in certain provisions of the Internal Revenue Code from which the State of Maryland has decoupled, including items included in certain special depreciation allowances and 2-year carryback provisions (farming loss only).

An NOL generated when an individual or a business entity is

not subject to Maryland income tax law, in a tax year beginning on or after October 22, 2007, cannot be used as a deduction to offset Maryland income. For acquisitions or liquidations occurring on or after October 22, 2007, the acquiring business entity which is subject to Maryland income tax law cannot use the acquired or liquidated business entity’s NOL as a deduction to offset Maryland income, if the acquired or liquidated business entity was not subject to Maryland income tax law when its NOL was generated. An NOL being carried forward from tax years beginning before October 22, 2007 can be used until exhausted.

An addition to income may be required in a carryback or carryforward year if the total Maryland additions to income exceeds the total Maryland subtractions from income in the loss year. The required addition to income represents a recapture of the excess additions over subtractions. The addition to income required is generally equal to the lesser of the NOL deduction in the carryback year or the net addition modification (NAM) in the loss year unless the loss year includes a decoupling modification. For more information regarding NAM, refer to Administrative Release 18.

If you elect to forego a carryback for the loss year, a copy of the federal election for the loss year must be attached with the Maryland amended return.

You must attach copies of amended federal Form 1045 or 1040X, whichever was used for federal purposes, and a copy of the federal income tax return for the year of the loss. Also include Schedules A and B of Form 1045 or the equivalent worksheets used to develop the federal NOL and show the amounts used on the federal return in the carryback or carryforward years. Check the appropriate CARRY BACK or CARRY FORWARD box on page 1 of Form 502X.
