Tax season is done–3 million returns and $2.3 billion in refunds for Marylanders

taxesComptroller Peter Franchot announced that his agency has processed more than 3 million returns for the 2015 tax year, including 474,075 paper returns and 2,527,077 electronically-filed returns. The total amount of refunds issued is nearly $2.4 billion.

“In these challenging economic times, I’m pleased to put $2.4 billion back into the pockets of hard working Marylanders and their families,” Comptroller Franchot said. “Clearly, taxpayers have now embraced electronic filing, and that makes a huge difference in the speed of receiving a refund.”

The Comptroller’s office has 12 branch offices that will assist taxpayers in filing electronically, thus likely getting tax refunds faster than filing via the U.S. mail. State employees at the offices, and via the toll-free Taxpayer Services phone number, give free state tax preparation assistance.

Taxpayers can contact Taxpayer Service at 410-260-7980 from Central Maryland, or 1-800-MD-TAXES (1-800-638-2937) from elsewhere. Tax assistance is available 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., Monday through Friday. Learn more about our free tax preparation services. You also can e-mail your tax questions to [email protected]
