Maryland Tax Penalties on Failure to Pay Taxes and Failure to File Taxes

The Maryland tax authority, the Comptroller of Maryland, is required to asses Maryland tax penalties against any taxpayers who fail to file their tax returns (timely or otherwise) as well as any taxpayer who fails to completely pay their tax liability due. When these penalties are assessed, a significant Maryland tax dispute can develop and possibly end up in Maryland tax court. However, Maryland’s tax penalty law includes exceptions and times when the amount of the tax penalty is increased or when the tax penalty amount can be waived.

Under Maryland’s tax laws, Maryland’s tax penalty for a taxpayer’s failure to file a tax return and a taxpayer’s failure to pay income tax can be up to 25% of the unpaid tax. Thus, if a taxpayer does not file a Maryland tax return and the taxpayer is due a Maryland tax refund then a Maryland tax penalty will not be assessed by the Comptroller. However, if a taxpayer does not file a Maryland tax return and the taxpayer has incurred a tax liability then a Maryland tax penalty will be assessed against the Maryland taxpayer. While the Comptroller of Maryland is not required to impose the full amount of the penalty against all Maryland taxpayers, the Comptroller generally assesses a Maryland tax penalty between 5% and 25% .

Importantly, if a false Maryland tax return is filed with the the Comptroller of Maryland with the specific intent to evade a Maryland tax payment due or if a return is not filed with the intent to evade Maryland taxes the penalty can be up to 100% of the Maryland tax due.

Bethesda Tax Law FirmNot only are taxes based upon the liability that is due, but certain penalties also exist that are assessed in a numerical number. For example, if a Maryland tax return is filed with information that contains obvious errors or is substantially incorrect that person can be assessed a penalty of $500. In these specific situations a taxpayer has submitted a Maryland tax return where a specific claim on an existing Maryland tax return (1) is not supported in law or fact, (2) is unlawful, (3) does not involve a legitimate dispute, or (4) is not considered an inadvertent mathematical error. This specific numerical penalty does appear on its face similar to the penalty above where a false tax return is filed or no return is filed in an attempt to evade tax; however, generally this specific numerical penalty will be easier to assess because an intent to evade taxes is not necessary. In these cases, the specific error is required to be one that a reasonable person can assume will not be upheld by any court or any finding.

The Comptroller of Maryland can also impose other penalties that are not financial penalties. A taxpayer who owes income tax can have their driver’s license, permit, or registration withheld upon renewal or suspended. A business owner who owes tax can have their business or professions licenses for doctors and attorneys can also be withheld for renewal or suspended.

  2. Six months ago, my ex-husband ended our relationship after accusations and insults because I suspected him of seeing another woman. Despite my desire to reconcile, he cut off all contact, changed his phone number and blocked my emails and calls. Feeling lost and insecure, I searched the internet for advice and discovered inspiring testimonials about a powerful magician who reunites people with their exes.

    I approached the magician, Dr. Murugu, and told him about my situation. He cast a spell, he assured me that my ex would return. To my astonishment, my ex stood at my door on the second day and asked for forgiveness. I am overjoyed that my love has returned. I am eternally grateful to Dr. Murugu for his remarkable skills. I recommend anyone facing similar problems to contact Dr. Murugu because he offers the solution to relationship problems.

  3. Hi Dr. Murugu,

    I want to express my heartfelt gratitude for your invaluable guidance and support during this challenging period. Without your assistance, I wouldn’t know where I’d be. Thank you for everything you’ve done for me.

    I’ve been in a relationship with a man for the past two and a half years. He’s German and was here for his internship. After the initial 6 months, he returned for me, and we began living together, envisioning a future together in the EU. However, jealousy arose last August, prompting me to seek help. I reached out to you, and you assured me with a 100% guarantee that I’d regain his affection after your spell.

    Remarkably, the day after the spell, he called, apologized, and expressed his desire to reconcile. Now, we’re happily reunited. For anyone in need, please get in touch with Dr. Murugu at:

  5. ALIGN YOUR HEART AND MIND FOR EFFECTIVE LOVE SPELLS

    One common reason why love spells might not yield desired results is when your heart’s desires conflict with your mind’s thoughts. To enhance the effectiveness of your spellcasting, it’s crucial to clarify your intentions and be certain of what you truly want. By doing so, you can avoid potential issues that may arise when the spell fails.

    Mastering the details of the incantations, candles, chants, trance, rituals, ingredients, and other aspects is essential. Your heart and mind must fully comprehend the purpose of these elements and work harmoniously to guide you in the right direction. If you feel any discord between your heart and mind, consider meditating before casting the love spell. A powerful and genuine intention is the key to casting an effective love spell.
