Out-of-state owners: the MD non-resident withholding tax is now 7.5%. Probably better to factor that in from the beginning!

Withholding Requirements for Sales of Real Property by MD Nonresidents.

If you are a nonresident who owns and is selling or transferring real property and associated tangible personal property in Maryland, you must make a tax withholding payment to the local Clerk of the Circuit Court or the State Department of Assessments and Taxation (SDAT). The payment must be made before the deed or other instrument of transfer is recorded with the court clerk or filed with SDAT.

Generally, the person responsible for your closing, a title company for example, is responsible for ensuring that sufficient funds are withheld at settlement and for paying the amount of withholding tax due to the Clerk or SDAT when the deed or other instrument of transfer is presented for recordation.

In the case of a nonresident individual, the payment is 7.5% of the total property sale payment made to the individual. A nonresident entity must make an 8.25% payment. See Withholding Requirements for Sales of Real Property by Nonresidents.

Under this provision, a nonresident entity is an entity that is:

  • not formed under the laws of Maryland more than 90 days before the date of the sale of the property, and
  • not qualified by or registered with SDAT to do business in Maryland more than 90 days before the date of the sale of the property.

In the case of multiple owners, withholding is required from each of the nonresident owners based on the percentage of the total payment that represents each nonresident’s ownership percentage.

At settlement, you must complete Form MW506NRS – Return of Income Tax Withholding for Nonresident Sale of Real Property. The settlement agent must then present Copies A and B of Form MW506NRS to the clerk or SDAT, along with payment.

In addition to filing Form MW506NRS with a tax withholding payment, you are still required to file an end-of-the-year income tax return with Maryland for the year in which the sale occurred.
