FILING STATUS.
Enter the filing status you used on your original return
and show any change of filing status. Your filing status
should correspond to the filing status used on your
federal return.
You must file your Maryland Amended Form 505X 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 505X must be filed within three years from the
date the original return was due (including extensions) or filed.
The following excep tions 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.
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 Internal Revenue Service issues a final determination of
adjustments that would result in a decrease to Maryland
taxable income, file an amended return within one year after
the final adjustment report or the final court decision if
appealed.
If the Internal Revenue Service issued a final determination of
adjustments that would result in an increase to Maryland
taxable income, file the amended return within ninety 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 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 Comp troller is directed to enter liens
against the salary, wages or property of delinquent taxpayers.
PRIVACY ACT INFORMATION
The Revenue Administration Division re quests 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 dis-
allowed and you may owe more tax. In addition, the law provides
penalties for fail ing 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 United States
Internal Revenue Service, 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
capa city. 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 505X. If your tax has been
increased by the Internal Revenue Service, you must report this
increase to the Maryland Revenue Administration Division within
90 days from the final IRS determination.

UNDERPAYMENT OF ESTIMATED TAX.
Interest must be computed and paid on any balance of
tax due. Interest is due from the date the return originally
was due to be filed until the date the tax is paid. The
annual interest rate is 13% through 12/31/16. The
annual interest rate will change after 12/31/16. For
additional information see www.marylandtaxes.com.
UNDERPAYMENT OF ESTIMATED TAX
If you do not meet the requirement for avoidance of interest for
underpayment of estimated tax, obtain Form 502UP online at
www.marylandtaxes.com or from any office of the Revenue
Administration Division. Complete and attach it to your amended
return. Enter any interest due on line 26 of Form 505X.
If you calculated and paid interest on underpayment of
estimated tax with your original return, recalculate the interest
based on your amended tax return, and attach a copy of a
revised Form 502UP showing your recalculation.

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 utilized on the
federal return. The amount of loss utilized 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 items included in
certain provisions of the Internal Revenue Code from which the
State of Maryland has decoupled, including certain special
depreciation allowances and 5-year carryback provisions. For
more information, refer to Administrative Release 38.
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 an election to forgo a carryback is made, a copy of the federal
election for the loss year must be attached with the Maryland
amended return.
You must attach copies of 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 utilized on the federal return in
the carryback or carry forward years. Check the
appropriate box on the front of Form 505X located
directly below the name and address.
