Can You Write Off Maryland state income tax?
Short answer: Maryland added 6.25% and 6.5% brackets for high earners in 2025, counties add income tax of up to 3.3%, and high earners pay an extra 2% on capital gains.
State and local income, sales, and property taxes share one SALT cap ($40,400 for 2026, reduced above about $505,000 of income) and only help if you itemize.
Records to keep: Keep receipts, statements (1098, 1098-T, 1099, W-2G), and a note of what each cost was for. Compare itemizing to the 2026 standard deduction before you claim.
