Form MW-506 is Maryland’s reporting form for Return of Income Tax Withheld. In other words, it documents that you withheld your employees’ estimated income tax liability and remitted these funds to the state. There is no online access to Form MW-506 itself, but there is for other related Maryland withholding forms.
If you do not qualify for or if you do not want to go through Maryland’s electronic filing system, the state will send you a coupon booklet of Form MW-506 that you can use to fill out and file your information. It is not a bad way to do it, especially if you have software support that can help you prepare for and print the information on the coupon book forms. In rare cases that an employer does not owe any withholding tax, the form information must still be filed but can be done so through the easy Internet tax filing system.
In 2025, the Maryland General Assembly established that counties and Baltimore City can impose a maximum local income tax rate of 3.30% for tax years after Dec. 31, 2024.
