How do I get my $300 Maryland annual report filing fee waived if I register with MarylandSaves?

Businesses in Maryland are required to file their Annual Reports to the Maryland Department of Assessment and Taxation (SDAT) as part of their annual business tax filings. SDAT will waive its $300 annual report filing fee for every year a Maryland business signs employees up for MarylandSaves and employees use the program.  

In order to be eligible to claim the filing fee waiver for calendar year 2024, your business must be enrolled in MarylandSaves (or offer another qualified plan) by December 31, 2023.  Your business will then be eligible to claim the waiver when you file your 2023 annual report to the state. 

The most reliable way to receive your filing fee waiver is to use one of the links below to register with MarylandSaves or certify that you offer another qualified plan and then file your 2024 Annual report with SDAT online. Our list of businesses that qualify for the 2024 fee waivers must be shared with SDAT by December 31, 2023, in order for them to have enough time to process the waivers.
