Maryland has been shortchanging people millions of dollars on their tax returns according to a new state audit.
Auditors found the state has been miscalculating a tax credit for homeowners for years, and last year alone, just in Montgomery County, the error led to thousands of taxpayers losing out on a total of $4.4 million.
The miscalculation was for the Homeowners’ Tax Credit (HTC) which benefits low-income families, seniors and people who may have lost their job. Auditors didn’t calculate additional losses to taxpayers in other jurisdictions or for prior years. They said the calculation error has happened since 2005.
Louis Wilen, a retired computer programmer from Montgomery County, discovered the problem four years ago. It’s not the first time he’s found a tax flaw in Maryland.
How about refunds PLUS INTEREST!
They would certainly charge it to YOU if you didn’t pay what was owed,
