Approved Vendors for eFile Software and Substitute Paper Tax Forms
Each year, the Comptroller of Maryland tests and approves software and tax forms designed by software developers and vendors for filing Maryland individual and/or business tax returns through the Federal/State eFile Program or on computer-printed substitute paper forms. To avoid delays in processing, it's important that you use an officially approved state tax form and software vendor.
The links below list the approved eFile software vendors for individual and business taxpayers as well as a list of approved vendors and forms for substitute paper tax forms. The list of approved eFile and Substitute Paper vendors for 2023 will be available in January 2024.
To avoid delays in processing, it's important that you use an officially approved state tax form.
The chart lists software vendors, the Maryland ID and the forms for which they are approved for the current tax year. Please be aware that vendors may charge a fee for use of their product.
Officially approved forms include a special barcode or a number in the lower left corner of the form, showing the two-digit year the form was approved and a two-digit vendor identification number.
Where indicated are those vendors who use 2D barcode technology on their forms for faster and more accurate processing. The other approved vendors do not currently use 2D barcode technology.
