my suggestion-wait to file maryland--unless you want to increase your workload between mid-march and april 15th--because you know your clients are going to hound you to file 502X's

I’ll third that.  The last thing I would do is create a situation of filing a bushel basket full of amended returns.

thank you guys, u r the greatest

makes sense

I'll agree and disagree.

Don't amend returns where you don't have to. But MD has income thresholds for the subtraction modification of unemployment benefits received. Therefore you can weed out the ones who don't have unemployment and further weed out for those above the income threshold.  I'll bet you're left with just a handful to sit and wait on.

many more than a handfull! the income threshold is 75,000 for single and

100,000 for married filing joint.i have already have about 15 i have already

filed that woild meet income criteria.thank you for your input

I'm really hoping that Maryland just does adjustments on these UEI returns that have already been filed.  I'm in Maryland now, but its only my second year here.  California would just adjust all the ones filed before the law was passed.  It would take them months, but they wouldn't require an amended return for this.  Thoughts on Maryland doing the same?

doubt it--at a seminar with a speaker from the comptroller's office(last year)--we were told they are still using COBOL!!!--back to the future

On March 9th I received this reply to my question to the MD Comptroller's office:  "Please delay filing the MD income tax return when unemployment income is involved as neither the software nor the forms are updated at this time. The new forms should be available mid-April and they will be listed on our website. If you file before then you will have to file an amendment later."  So I suggest we all file extensions for our affected clients.

I'd hold federal, too, due to the pending legislation that will exempt it from tax if AGI is <$150,000.

HI ironman,we will all have a basket full of amendments to file because

when the house passes the stimulas package today,first 10,000 of unemployment

will also non taxable on the federal. i personally have a load of these

regars,LARRY

stay safe good guys, and "girls"2222

Yeah, it's been a fun tax season already and it is going to get even more funner before it is all over.  Does anybody know how much a Walmart greeter makes?  I'm contemplating a career change after this tax season.

I agree.  Been working 7 days and nights. Haven't taken a day off since 2021, and I'm 20% behind last year, which was a messed up year too. Can't work any harder. This sucks, and it sucks more and more each year. Notice - CPA practice for sale - $10, and I'll pay you the $10.....

Hi,

It's April 29th. Do you know if Intuit has updated the software for Maryland Unemployment?

Thanks!

They have, but a new glitch appeared in  the most recent update.

What was the glitch?
