For tax year 2026 returns filed in 2027
Get an overview of Maryland’s 1099 filing requirements for tax year 2026, including reportable forms, withholding rules, and thresholds. Learn about the filing deadlines for 2026TY, the 25-return eFile threshold, and direct state filing options.
Miscellaneous Information
Maryland requires state filing of Form 1099-MISC when Maryland income tax withholding applies to the payment, regardless of the payment amount. The federal threshold for tax year 2026 is $2,000 for rents, prizes and awards, other income, medical and health care payments, and crop insurance proceeds. Royalties and attorney gross proceeds carry their own separate federal thresholds.
Nonemployee Compensation
Form 1099-NEC follows Maryland's withholding-based filing rule. If Maryland income tax was withheld from the payment, the state requires the filing, with no minimum amount. At the federal level, reporting generally starts at $2,000 or more in nonemployee compensation. Maryland's withholding-based filing condition applies separately from this federal threshold.
Payment Card and Third-Party Network Transactions
Maryland requires third-party settlement organizations (TPSOs) to report Form 1099-K payments once they meet the threshold under IRC Section 6041(a). For tax year 2026, Maryland’s threshold is $2,000 for qualifying payments made to payees who are required to file a return or declaration in Maryland. The state does not accept Form 1099-K through the Combined Federal/State Filing Program (CF/SF).
Distributions From Pensions, Annuities, Retirement or Profit-Sharing Plans, IRAs, Insurance Contracts, etc
Maryland requires Form 1099-R reporting when a Maryland payee receives $10 or more during the tax year, and state income tax withholding is greater than zero. The form must be filed directly with the state of Maryland.
Certain Government Payments
A filing is required for a Maryland payee who receives $10 or more during the tax year and state withholding is greater than zero. The form must be submitted directly to the state.
Proceeds From Real Estate Transactions
File when a Maryland payee receives $10 or more during the tax year, and Maryland withholding is more than zero. Maryland uses the SFTP filing option for Form 1099-S.
Certain Gambling Winnings
Maryland requires Form W-2G reporting when a payee receives $10 or more during the tax year and Maryland income tax withholding is greater than zero. The reportable W-2G information must be submitted directly to Maryland.
Wage and Tax Statement
Report the required Maryland wage and withholding information on Form W-2 and use Form MW508 to reconcile year-end W-2 and 1099 data. Electronic filing is required when submitting more than 25 W-2/1099 statements. Employers with fewer than 25 statements may file on paper.
Note:
There is no filing extension under Maryland law for the annual reconciliation. All applicable statements and the Form MW508 reconciliation must be completed by the filing deadline.
Filers who submit their Form 1099s electronically do not need to prepare a separate Form MW508. Maryland generates the information from the submitted file data. For electronic W-2 bulk filers, the reconciliation information is included in the record.
The paper filing process requires completing Form MW508 and attaching it to the applicable W-2s and 1099s.
From preparing federal and Maryland information returns to managing direct Maryland filings and year-end reconciliation, handle it all through a secure platform.
Note: Even though Maryland participates in the IRS Combined Federal/State Filing Program, the state filing must be submitted directly through Maryland's own channel.
Forms 1099-R, 1099-G, 1099-NEC, 1099-MISC, and W-2G can be submitted in bulk through Maryland Tax Connect. It also allows registered users to manually enter up to 250 W-2 or 1099 forms. The Form MW508 reconciliation is generated automatically for electronic bulk filers.
For fewer than 25 total statements, filers may also file paper copies. Paper filers must complete Form MW508 and attach all applicable W-2 and 1099 statements.
Form 1099-K and Form 1099-S are the only two forms that keep SFTP as a filing option. Maryland has also confirmed XML bulk filing will open for tax year 2026 returns once the 2027 calendar year begins. The exact file specifications for that format haven't been released yet.
The One Big Beautiful Bill Act increased the federal reporting limit for tax year 2026 from $600 to $2,000. This applies to Form 1099-NEC and some categories on Form 1099-MISC. While this change affects what requires a federal filing, it does not change the filing rules for Maryland, which have their own separate requirements.
In Maryland, if you withhold any state tax, you need to file Form 1099-MISC and Form 1099-NEC, no matter how much the payment is.
Form 1099-K works differently. The state has set its own reporting limit. For the tax year 2026, this limit is $2,000. This threshold applies to filers who need to file a Maryland tax return or declaration.
None of these filings go through the IRS Combined Federal/State Filing Program because Maryland doesn't accept forwarded federal filings. Applicable state filings go directly through Maryland's own approved channel instead.
Maryland requires Forms 1099-G, 1099-R, 1099-S, 1099-MISC, 1099-NEC, 1099-K, and W-2G, reporting each under its own filing condition. W-2 reporting and the MW508 annual reconciliation are also required.
A Maryland filing is triggered the moment Maryland income tax withholding exceeds zero, regardless of the payment amount.
Maryland’s Form 1099-K reporting threshold for tax year 2026 is $2,000. The amount applies to qualifying payment transactions for a payee who's required to file a Maryland return or declaration.
Maryland participates but does not accept submissions through the Combined Federal/State Filing Program. Any applicable Maryland filing must be filed directly with the state.
Maryland's annual filing deadline is January 31. For tax year 2026, that date is February 1, 2027, since January 31 falls on a Sunday. This deadline applies to both Forms 1099 and the MW508 reconciliation.
Once the W-2/1099 statements reach 25 or more forms, electronic filing becomes mandatory.
Maryland requires Form MW508, the Annual Employer Withholding Reconciliation Return, to reconcile year-end W-2 and 1099 withholding data. Paper filers submit it together with their statements; electronic bulk filers have it generated automatically from their submitted file.
Correct a 1099 filing using Maryland's standard corrected-return process. Use Form MW508A to amend the year-end reconciliation as needed. Individual employee Form W-2C corrections must be filed on paper.
Falling short of Maryland's W-2/1099 reporting rules carries a $100 penalty per violation, with another $50 for each annual W-2 or 1099 report that isn't properly filed, and the possibility of additional penalties under state law.
Tax1099 lets you prepare, validate, and eFile applicable federal and Maryland information returns in one place, with support for state-only filing and year-end reconciliation.
