Does Maryland have a state income tax?
Yes. Maryland imposes a state personal income tax, and counties add a local income tax, so most residents file a state return alongside their federal return.

Maryland Self-Employed Tax Preparation
Maryland has a state income tax, and counties add a local income tax, so most self-employed residents file both a federal and a Maryland return each year.
Prepared by real tax specialists — with Enrolled Agent or CPA review when your return calls for it.
Self-employed Marylanders generally owe federal self-employment tax plus Maryland state income tax on their net earnings, and every county and Baltimore City levies a local income tax collected with the state return. We help freelancers and 1099 workers report income, claim eligible deductions, and stay current with estimated payments.
We prepare your federal and Maryland returns together so everything reconciles. Many residents commute to DC or Virginia, so we also handle any multi-state filing you may need.
