Maryland and the R&D Tax Credit
Maryland offers the Basic and Growth Research and Development Tax Credits to corporations and flow-through entities. While previously set to expire in June 2022, recent legislation officially extended this sunset date to June 30, 2027. To qualify, these Maryland credits must be generated from qualified research activities performed directly within the state. Maryland adopts the federal Internal Revenue Code Section 41 definition for qualifying activities, requiring efforts aimed at achieving new or improved function, performance, reliability, or quality. While no carryback is permitted, eligible taxpayers benefit from a seven-year carryforward period to offset future tax liabilities with any unused credits.
