Requirements for Using bFile

You may use bFile to file employer withholding, sales and use tax, and withholding reconciliation returns. Do not send a paper form if you file using bFile.

To use bFile, you need to have:

  • a valid federal employer identification number (FEIN) or Social Security number, and
  • a Maryland Central Registration Number (your eight-digit Maryland tax account number.)

If you have not registered to file Maryland business taxes or do not have a Maryland Central Registration Number, you may register by completing an online application. You will receive the necessary information to file Maryland business taxes approximately one week after submitting your application online.
