Estimated Tax Payments for Individuals

If you are self-employed or do not have Maryland income taxes withheld by an employer, you can make quarterly estimated tax payments as part of a pay-as-you-go plan. You can make estimated payments online using iFile, which also allows you to review your history of previous payments made through iFile and also schedule the payments. You can also submit estimated payments using Form PV. In an ongoing effort to protect sensitive taxpayer information, the Comptroller's Office has discontinued the mailing of the Estimated Personal Income Tax Packet.

If your employer does withhold Maryland taxes from your pay, you may still be required to make quarterly estimated income tax payments if you develop a tax liability that exceeds the amount withheld by your employer by more than $500.

If you receive $500 or more in income from awards, prizes, lotteries, racetracks or raffles, you must file Form PV - along with your full estimated tax payment - within 60 days of receiving the income.

If you file joint returns

You and your spouse may file a joint Form PV regardless of whether you file your final return jointly or separately.

The estimated tax may be claimed in any proportion on the final return as long as the amounts claimed separately do not exceed the total paid. If you and your spouse plan to file jointly, we recommend that you make estimated tax payments to a joint account.

Generally, the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) requires you to make quarterly estimated tax payments for calendar year 2022 if both of the following apply:

you expect to owe at least $1,000 in federal tax for 2022, after subtracting federal tax withholding and refundable credits, and
you expect federal withholding and refundable credits to be less than the smaller of:
- 90% of the tax to be shown on your 2022 federal tax return, or
- 100% of the tax shown on your 2021 federal tax return (only applies if your 2021 tax return covered 12 months - otherwise refer to 90% rule above only).

To calculate your federal quarterly estimated tax payments, you must estimate your adjusted gross income, taxable income, taxes, deductions, and credits for the calendar year 2022. Form 1040-ES includes an Estimated Tax Worksheet to help you calculate your federal estimated tax payments.
