Members of the tobacco industry are now able to file their business taxes through Maryland Tax Connect beginning today. Electronic tobacco tax filing will be conducted online via the Maryland Tax Connect portal, beginning with the December 2024 filing period and will include the previous year for tax filing.

The transition includes the following forms:  

• 608 – Cigarette Wholesaler Monthly Report of Cigarette Packs and Cigarette Stamps 

• 609 – Other Tobacco Products Wholesaler Tax Return 

• 610 – Other Tobacco Products Retailer, Tobacconist and Remote Tobacco Seller Return  

• 027T – Cigarette Storage Warehouse Report  

• 634 – Manufacturer Monthly Sample Cigarette Tax Return  

 

Tobacco industry filers are encouraged to visit mdtaxconnect.gov to register their accounts, watch previously recorded webinars, review answers to Frequently Asked Questions, and familiarize themselves with the Maryland Tax Connect portal. Tobacco Tax filers will retain the ability to submit paper filings.

  

Maryland Tax Connect launched for businesses in February. So far, nearly 150,000 users have registered for accounts and filed more than one million tax returns through Maryland Tax Connect.
