Maryland Withholding

YES, PLEASE! 

I am at the same situation with several of our clients.

Comptroller of Maryland office is just hanging up and asking to call them another time...

I know why you’re unable to pay your Maryland withholding taxes through their site and in QuickBooks Desktop (QBDT), @Julissa5.

Right now, Maryland withholding is moving to a new system, and QBDT customers can’t e-file or e-pay 2024 withholding taxes. While the agency prepares the new system, customers will not be penalized for paying or filing 2024 withholding late for any payments due before they open up their new system.

Once resolved, you can watch this video tutorial to start paying payroll taxes and liabilities within the application: How to pay payroll taxes and liabilities in QuickBooks Desktop Payroll.

Moreover, you'll also want to scan these reports if you want to have an overview of the payroll amounts and tax balances: 

• Create a Payroll Summary Report
• Run Payroll Liability Balances Report

As always, don't hesitate to reach out to us or reply below if you have other questions. We're always here to help and guide you again. 

I tried to submit the taxes via QB and succeeded yesterday.  However today I got the email that MD rejected my payments.

After that there was a follow up from QB saying

"QuickBooks rejected your Maryland Withholding Payment as the Department of Revenue is not yet ready to accept payments in their new withholding system. Please come back and resubmit your payment in early to mid-March. There will not be any penalties for late payments due to this delay.

We will communicate with your business once the agency is ready to accept payments."

I guess we have to be patient.

It is impossible to pay Maryland Withholding and I am very concerned...

Today's message is 

"

Currently, the only way that you can submit is via having your client Grant you full access.Howver ,

1. you have to sign up and provide your clients your username and confirmation ID which is usually a TU0000XXX number.
2. Next, they have to use the manage user and add an authorized users and enter your credential. then grant you full access for all services. but they have to indicate the period from 01-01-2024 to anytime in future (recommend 10 years). 
3. once you log in to the Maryland connect, then you have to see your client's name in your portal, then you go to form processing and drop down and you will see you client again. 
4. Next, you have to manually process the payment for withholding or sales tax.  

hope this give some guideline to this disastrous system.   this is what you get when you  bring a comptroller in place which has no background experience on software and accounting. 

Maryland's data base is on two different Locations ( Annapolis and Preston Street) and these two data sites do not synch with each other. this is the reason that whenever you visited the  Preston street, they had to manually enter any adjustment and hoping that someone at Annapolis would see the notation and make the adjustment.  now imagine, they wanted to place a portal that connect these two data bases together without any issue and right in middle of tax season. 

most businesses do not even have aPIN that they are supposed to receive to even log into system and register themselves. 

but the good news is that all businesses in Maryland that closed their business around 5 years ago are receiving their PIN, very interesting. 

After trying almost every other day and the systems appears to be accepting the withholding now.  Today is 4/16/24.  It was not working as of yesterday.  Let's hope it goes through!  Good Luck!

Welcome to the thread, Katia1.

You can void the rejected MD payments so they'll go back to the Liabilities to pay.

To do this, here's how:

1. From the Employees menu, select Payroll Taxes and Liabilities.
2. Choose Pay Scheduled Liabilities.
3. Go to the Pay Liabilities tab.
4. In the Payment History section, select the All Payments tab.
5. Locate the rejected payment, then double-click the check to open it.
6. Click the Delete drop-down, then select Void.
7. Select Save & Close when you're done.

That's it! The rejected tax payment will now show up in the Pay Taxes & Other Liabilities section.

Good Afternoon: 

If you are using QuickBooks desktop (accountant edition, you will not need any credential other than your client CR # to process payroll tax.  

what you a rereferring is new Maryland tax connect poral. on this portal, you will have to register your company first, and have username and Confirmation number that starts with TU000xxxxx (everyone is unique)  .

Then your client has to go through the same registration process.  they will then need to go to their profile and add an Authorized user which requires your username and Confirmation number which you need to provide to them and assign and grant you full authorization. 

Then you will be able to log into your own poral as an accountant and see all your clients and process any tax manually Such as sales tax, Maryland withholding tax, etc.. 

The following is an email that i sent to my client to help them with guideline to help them with this crazy process.  hope it helps. 

the username in my guideline is your username and your confriamtion number is your confiramtion number. i highlighted them in red fro example since each accoutnat username andconfrimation number is unique, you need to provide yours to yourcleints.
