FAQs

How long to get Maryland tax refund?

The fastest way to get your Maryland tax refund is to e-file and choose direct deposit. Electronic returns are typically processed quickly, and refunds sent by direct deposit are typically issued within several days after your return is accepted and processed. Paper returns can take about 30 days to process. Errors, missing information, or additional review can delay your refund.

How to check Maryland tax refund?

You can check your refund online using the Comptroller of Maryland refund status tool. You’ll generally need your Social Security number and the exact refund amount shown on your return. If you filed a joint return, use the first Social Security number listed on the return.

When does Maryland release tax refunds?

Maryland processes refunds after returns are received and accepted. While there’s no set issue date for all refunds, most e-filed refunds are processed quickly (electronically filed returns may be processed the same day the return is received). If you filed a paper return, wait at least 30 days before checking your refund status.

Note that these are general guidelines. Timing may vary depending on the type of return and the volume of returns being processed by the state tax department at the time. If you have waited longer than the expected timeframe and still haven’t received your refund, use your state’s refund status tracking tool (linked above) or contact the Comptroller of Maryland using the contact info above.

Why is my Maryland tax refund under manual review?

Your Maryland return may require additional review if it contains errors or missing information, includes deductions or credits that need verification, or is selected for an audit or fraud review. If your return needs extra review, your refund may take longer to process.

Why is my Maryland tax refund being offset?

Maryland may offset, or reduce, your state tax refund if you owe certain qualifying debts. This can include past-due taxes, child support, debts owed to another state or federal agency, or certain debts referred to Maryland’s Central Collection Unit. If your refund is offset, you should receive information about the debt and the agency responsible for it.

What day are Maryland tax refunds deposited?

There isn’t a fixed “deposit day” for state refunds. Once your refund is approved, Maryland issues it as soon as possible. Direct deposit usually arrives faster than mailed checks, but the exact day varies depending on when you filed and how quickly your return is processed.
