Despite a 2-month delay of the state tax filing deadline, Maryland Comptroller Peter Franchot said more than 2 million returns already have been processed. Franchot's office also reported that nearly 1-and-a-half million taxpayers have received refunds, so far. And while he says he’s pleased that so many people have chosen not to wait until the last minute to file, Franchot tells WCBC the extension is serving its intended purpose…
Franchot is also warning about a new scam against taxpayers, in which letters with public record lien information have been sent out, claiming to be from a collections agency operating on behalf of the Comptroller’s office…
Franchot recommends that any individual or business who receives such a letter, contact his office immediately, whether they are currently in Maryland or out of state.
