Admissions and Amusement Tax Forms

To register your business for A&A taxes complete the Combined Registration Application (CRA) or register online to get an account number. After you have received your account number, first time filers may obtain tax forms online, or by mail to Taxpayer Services.  Please know, you will need your Central Registration number to access this page. If you do not file your returns using the web application and choose to file by paper, subsequent returns will be pre-printed and mailed to you.

If  a pre-printed coupon is required, you can call Taxpayer Service at 410-260-7980 or 1-800-MDTAXES to request a blank coupon to file your return.  

The only other form available to admissions and amusement tax filers is the admissions and amusement tax refund application.  The refund application would be filed to request a refund of admissions and amusement tax that the taxpayer feels was improperly paid.  

Contact the Special Events Section at 410-767-1540 / 410-767-1531 (email: templicense@marylandtaxes.gov) for the Admissions and Amusement Tax Form for one-time events, special events, or political events.

The forms contained in these pages are in the ADOBE .PDF format (Portable Document Format). You must have version 3.0 or higher of the ADOBE Acrobat Reader program to view and print these forms. ADOBE Acrobat Reader is available for free online. These forms also have been formatted with a fill-in feature that allows you to type information into them on your computer and then print out a paper copy. If you are having problems viewing ADOBE.PDF files, please view our special instructions.

The Form 510, Pass-through Entity Tax Return, only will allow a refund if there are no nonresident members and the amount on line 13 of the return is zero.

Refund Claims

Generally, a claim for a refund (amended return) must be filed within 3 years from the date the original return was filed or within 2 years from the date the tax was paid, whichever is later. A return filed early is considered filed on the date it was due.

If the claim for refund resulted from an IRS adjustment or final decision of a federal court which is more than 3 years from the date of filing the return or more than 2 years from the time the tax was paid, a claim for refund must be filed within 1 year from the date of the adjustment or final decision.

A claim for refund based on a federal net operating loss carryback must be filed within 3 years after the due date of the return for the tax year of the net operating loss.

510C

Effective tax year 2011, a pass-through entity may elect to file a composite Maryland income tax return Form 510C on behalf of qualified nonresident individual members. All members who qualify and elect to be included on the composite return must agree that the pass-through entity is their agent for the receipt of any refund or for payment of any tax due.
