The link within the email leads to a website that mirrors the software provider’s login page. Tax professionals who receive emails from software providers that seek login credentials are advised to send them to their tax software providers. To report a problem, Maryland taxpayers my call 1-800-MD-TAXES or email mdcomptroller@comp.state.md.us.
