TAX RETURN INSTRUCTIONS

DUE DATE

Your return is due by April 15, 2019. If any due date falls on a

Saturday, Sunday or legal holiday, the return must be filed by

the next business day.

COMPLETING THE RETURN

You must use blue or black ink when completing your return.

DO NOT use pencil or red ink. Submit the original return, not a

photocopy. If no entry is needed for a specific line, leave blank.

Do not enter words such as “none” or “zero” and do not draw a

line to indicate no entry.

You may round off all cents to the nearest whole dollar. Fifty

cents and above should be rounded to the next higher dollar.

PENALTIES

There are severe penalties for failing to file a tax return, failing

to pay any tax when due, filing a false or fraudulent return 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.

To collect unpaid taxes, the Comptroller is directed to enter

liens against the salary, wages or property of delinquent

taxpayers.

EXPLANATION OF TAX

The individual’s employer shall withhold the Maryland local

income tax. The individual shall not be required to file Maryland

Form 515, nor the employer withhold the local tax, if the

Comptroller determines that the locality in which the individual

resides does not impose a tax on Maryland residents with

respect to income from salary, wages or other compensation for

personal services performed in the locality or, if it does impose

such a tax, that it provides an exemption, credit or other

procedure whereby the income of residents of Maryland is

rendered free of taxation and withholding.

Who is a nonresident?

In general, every individual other than a resident of Maryland is

a nonresident.

You are a nonresident if you do not have your permanent home

in Maryland and did not maintain a place of abode (that is, a

place to live) in Maryland for more than six months of the tax

year.

If you establish or abandon legal residence in Maryland during

the tax year, you are taxable as a resident for the portion of the

year during which your legal residence was in Maryland. (See

Form 502 Instructions.)

Who must file?

Decide if you must file a nonresident Maryland income tax

return, Form 515. In general, you are liable for local income tax

and must file this return if you are a nonresident of Maryland

AND you received salary, wages or other compensation for

personal services performed in any county of Maryland or in

Baltimore City AND you lived in a jurisdiction that imposes

a local income or earnings tax on Maryland residents AND

you are required to file a federal return. For more information,

visit www.marylandtaxes.gov.

TO DETERMINE IF YOU ARE REQUIRED TO FILE A

MARYLAND RETURN:

a. Add up all of your federal gross income (except any income

which is exempt by law) to determine your total income.

b. Do not include Social Security or Railroad Retirement benefits

in your total federal income.

c. Add to your total federal income any Maryland additions to

income. Do not include any additions related to non-Maryland

income or loss. (See Instruction 11.) This is your Maryland

gross income.

d. If you are a dependent taxpayer, add to your total federal

income any Maryland additions and subtract any Maryland

subtractions. (See Instructions 11 and 12.) This is your

Maryland gross income.

e. You must file a Maryland return if your Maryland gross

income equals or exceeds the income levels in Table 1.

f. If you or your spouse is 65 or over, use Table 2, “Minimum

Filing Levels for Taxpayers 65 or Over” on this page.

MARYLAND TAX WITHHELD IN ERROR:

If Maryland tax was withheld in error from your income, you

must file to obtain a refund of the withholding. Complete all of

the information at the top of the form through the filing status,

residence information and exemption areas. Enter your federal

adjusted gross income on line 17 in both columns 1 and 3 and

line 24. Then complete lines 48-52, 54 and 56.

Sign the form and attach withholding statements (Form W-2 or

1099) showing Maryland tax withheld equal to the refund you

are claiming.

Your form is then complete. You must file within three years of

the original due date to receive any refund.

What income is taxable?

If you are required to file Form 515, then you are subject to

local income tax on that portion of your federal adjusted gross

income from salary, wages or other compensation for personal

services performed in any county of Maryland or Baltimore City.

If you have income other than wages subject to Maryland

tax, you must also file Form 505. For more information, visit

our Web site at www.marylandtaxes.gov or email your

question to TAXHELP@comp.state.md.us. You may also call

1-800-638-2937 or from Central Maryland 410-260-7980. If

you are required to file Form 515 and you reside in any state

other than Pennsylvania, your wages are also subject to

Maryland state income tax.

Use of federal return.

First complete your 2018 federal income tax return.

You will need the information from your federal return and all

schedules to complete your Maryland return. Before you continue

beyond this point, complete your federal return and all schedules.

Maryland law requires that your income and deductions be

entered on your Maryland return exactly as they were reported

on your federal return and schedules. However, all items

reported on your Maryland return are subject to verification,

audit and revision by the Comptroller’s Office.

Name and address information.

Complete the Name, Current Mailing Address - Line 1, Current

Mailing Address - Line 2 and Social Security number lines.

The Social Security number(s) (SSN) must be a valid number

issued by the Social Security Administration of the United States

Government. If you, your spouse or dependent(s) do not have

a SSN and you are not eligible to get a SSN, you must

apply for an Individual Tax Identification Number (ITIN)

with the IRS. You should wait until you have received it

before you file. Enter it wherever your SSN is requested

on the return.

A missing or incorrect SSN or ITIN could result in the disallowance

of any credits or exemptions you may be entitled to and result

in a balance due.

A valid SSN or ITIN is required for any claim of exemption for a

dependent. If you have a dependent who was placed with you

for legal adoption and you do not know his or her SSN, you

must get an Adoption Tax Identification Number (ATIN) for the

dependent from the IRS. If your child was born and died in this

tax year and you do not have a SSN for the child, complete just

the name and relationship of the dependent and enter code

322, on one of the code number lines located on page 3 of the

form.

TAXING AREA based on where in Maryland you were employed

on the last day of the tax period (December 31, 2018 for

IF YOU WORKED IN A MARYLAND COUNTY (NOT

BALTIMORE CITY):

1. Write the name of the county on the MARYLAND COUNTY

line.

2. Find the county in the List of Incorporated Cities, Towns

and Taxing Areas in Maryland.

3. If you worked in one of the areas listed under the county,

write its name on the CITY, TOWN OR TAXING AREA line.

4. If you did not work in one of the areas listed for the county,

leave the CITY, TOWN OR TAXING AREA line blank.

Filing status.

Check the filing status box that matches the filing status you

used on your federal return unless you are a dependent taxpayer.

A dependent taxpayer is one who can be claimed as a dependent

on another person’s federal return. If married, taxpayer and

spouse must file separate returns. A dependent taxpayer may

not claim a personal exemption for himself. Check the box for

filing status 6.

Generally, if you filed a joint federal return for 2018, you must

file a joint Maryland return. Married couples who file joint federal

returns may file separate Maryland returns when one spouse is

a resident of Maryland and the other spouse is a nonresident of

Maryland. If you and your spouse filed separate federal returns,

you must file separate Maryland returns. A surviving spouse

may file a joint return with a decedent if a joint federal return

was filed.

Residence information.

Answer all questions and fill in the appropriate boxes/lines. If

you are a Pennsylvania Resident, enter your County of legal

residence as well as your City, Borough or Township.

Exemptions.

Determine which exemptions you may claim and check the

appropriate boxes on the form.

EXEMPTIONS ALLOWED

You are entitled to claim qualified exemptions on the Maryland

return. The amount of your Maryland exemption may be limited

by the amount of your federal adjusted gross income. See

Exemption Amount Chart.

You and your spouse are permitted to claim exemptions for

being age 65 or over or for blindness. These additional

exemptions are in the amount of $1,000 each.

Complete the Dependent Form 502B and the exemption area on

the front of the Form 515 to determine the amount of exemption

allowance to enter on line 29. If any dependent is 65 or over,

you receive an extra exemption of up to $3,200. Make sure you

check both boxes.

Income and adjustments.

Complete lines 1-17 of the Federal Income column using the

figures from your federal return.

Enter in the Maryland Wage Income column all salaries or wages

derived from Maryland sources. Enter in the Non-Maryland

Income/Loss column all other income or loss. Adjustments to

federal gross income are not generally applicable to Maryland

unless they pertain to compensation for services performed in

Maryland.

If you also have income from Maryland such as business income,

rental income, lottery winnings, etc., other than salary, wages

or other compensation for services performed in Maryland, you

must file two nonresident returns. The wage income is taxed on

Form 515 and the non-wage income on Form 505.

ADDITIONS TO INCOME.

Determine which additions to income apply to you.

Write the appropriate amounts on lines 18 and 19 and the total

on line 20 of Form 515. Instructions for each line:

Line 18. NON-MARYLAND LOSS. Enter the total amount of

non-Maryland losses and adjustments to Federal income that

were realized or paid attributable to a non-Maryland source.

Line 19. OTHER ADDITIONS TO INCOME. If one or both of

these apply to you, enter the total amount on line 19 and

identify each item using the code letter.

CODE LETTER

c. Any amount deducted as a donation to the extent that the

amount of the donation is included in an application for the

Endow Maryland Tax Credit on Form 500CR or 502CR.

e. Wages, salaries or other compensation for services performed

in Maryland that are not subject to federal tax because of a

treaty.

g. Pickup contributions of a state retirement or pension system

member. (The pickup amount will be stated separately on

your W-2 form.)

EXEMPTION AMOUNT CHART

The personal exemption is $3,200. This exemption is reduced once the taxpayer’s federal adjusted gross income exceeds $100,000

($150,000 if ling Joint, Head of Household, or Qualifying Widow(er) with Dependent Child). This reduction applies to the

additional dependency exemptions as well; however, it does not apply to the taxpayer’s age or blindness exemption of $1,000. Use

the chart to determine the allowable exemption amount based upon the ling status. NOTE: For certain taxpayers with interest

from U.S. obligations see Instruction 12, code hh for applicable exemption adjustment.

Line 6: Subtract the exemption amount

calculated on line 1 from the exemption

Example:

Pat and Chris Jones had a federal adjusted gross income of

$180,000. They also had $40,000 on interest from U.S. Savings

bonds and had a dependent son whom they claimed on the

Maryland tax return. Using Instruction 9, they found that the

exemption amount on their Maryland return (based upon

$180,000 of income) was $2,400 ($800 for three exemptions).

If it were not for the $40,000 of U.S. Savings bonds, their

federal adjusted gross income would have been $140,000 and

their exemption amount would have been $9,600 ($3,200 for

three exemptions). Therefore, Pat and Chris Jones are entitled

to claim a subtraction of $7,200 ($9,600 - $2,400) on line 23

using code letter hh.

ADJUSTED GROSS INCOME (AGI) FACTOR.

You must adjust your standard or itemized deductions and

exemptions using the AGI factor calculated in the AGI FACTOR

WORKSHEET (13A). You must carry this amount to six decimal

places.

NOTE: If Maryland adjusted gross income before subtractions

(line 2) is 0 or less, use 0 as your factor. If your federal adjusted

gross income (line 1) is 0 or less and line 2 is greater (or less)

than 0, use 1.000000 as your factor.

reported on lines 1 through 14 of Column 3, or adjustments to

income reported on line 16 of Column 3) from Form 515 that

have not been included on line 5 or 6a of Form 505NR.

Important Note: Make sure that you follow the instruction for

line 6b above to arrive at the correct amount. The non-Maryland

losses and adjustments should have been reported on line 18 of

Form 515 and included on the amounts reported on line 4 of
