Working With the Comptroller of Maryland

Remote Representation, Statewide

Maryland’s state tax disputes don’t go through the IRS. They go through the Comptroller of Maryland’s Hearings and Appeals Division, and the process has its own strict timeline. If you disagree with a Maryland tax assessment or a denied refund, you generally have just 30 days from the date of the notice to file an appeal, far shorter than many other jurisdictions. Appeals are typically filed online through MyCOMConnect, and most hearings are conducted by phone. If the Comptroller’s final determination isn’t in your favor, the next step is an appeal to the Maryland Tax Court.Because that 30-day window is easy to miss if you don’t already know it’s coming, reaching out the moment you receive a Maryland tax notice matters more here than in most states.

Frequently Asked Questions

How long do I have to appeal a Maryland tax assessment? Generally 30 days from the date on the notice (90 days for unclaimed property assessments). This is significantly shorter than the IRS’s own appeal windows, so don’t wait to reach out.

Do I need to meet with you in person in Maryland? No. We work with Maryland clients entirely remotely, by phone, email, and video.

Is a Maryland state tax issue different from an IRS issue? Yes. They’re separate agencies with separate processes, and it’s possible to owe both simultaneously. We handle both.
