Electronic payment suddenly not available for MD Income Tax when I have paid that way for years with our quickbooks account?

We have paid our MD taxes through electronic payment for years. Now all of sudden it says Electronic Payment Not Available. We have called about this problem at least twice and seems like they do not understand why. Also, they are trying to have us resubmit forms for each client when they have already been submitted for months/years. We do not exactly have time to sit down and re-submit all these forms again for each client. Why is this happening and why can we not get this fixed ASAP because it seems like it is an issue on their end?

I can sense the urgency of getting this matter resolved, @mthomas4.

 

I understand the convenience of paying MD electronically. It's a time-saver to keep up with your taxes. That said, I'm here to provide insights so I can assist you further.

 

The state of Maryland has introduced a new Third Party Administrator (TPA) approach. You'll need to appoint Intuit as your payroll agent with the state when you start a new payroll service or hire a new employee. This allows us to pay and file unemployment taxes on your behalf. Otherwise, you can file directly on their website.

 

Kindly refer to this article to authorize Intuit as your payroll agent. This contains the detailed steps and videos that can guide you through the process. 

 

For additional information, I've attached some articles you can use to stay up-to-date with the tax regulations, as well as some basic of payroll processing:

I am having similar issues.  Every time I want to pay MD withholdings out of Quickbooks, it says it's down for maintenance.  It keeps pushing the date out to pay later.  Is it really still down or is something else wrong?

It throws up an error message and says:

Problem:  Due to annual maintenance, Maryland is not accepting filing and payments electronically at this time.

Solution:  Please resubmit your filing or payment after January 14th, 2022 .........

I believe it first started out with Jan 6 or thereabout and the date keeps changing.

It does not allow submission.

Hi there, @Ella22.

 

I appreciate you joining this conversation and sharing the details of your concern. Allow me to jump in and help ensure you can pay your MD withholdings in QuickBooks Online (QBO).

 

Since the error indicates that they're having annual maintenance, I highly suggest reaching out to your state agency. Their support team can verify how long the maintenance will last so you can submit your filing or payment.

 

You can refer to this link to reach them: https://www.marylandtaxes.gov/contact.
