Federal Shutdown Resources

In partnership with other state agencies, the Office of the Maryland Comptroller is here to assist federal workers and their families who have been impacted by the shutdown. We will continue to update this page with useful information as long as the shutdown remains in effect.

Payment Plan Deferment for Federal Workers

Federal employees currently on state tax payment plans who are unable to make payments due to the shutdown may request a deferment. Once the request is approved, their payment plan will be paused for the duration of the shutdown and up to 60 days after it ends. 

How to Request a Deferment

To apply, email GovShutdownRelief@marylandtaxes.gov with the following information:

• Full name
• Address
• Last 4 digits of your Social Security number
• Case number or payment plan ID

If you have questions or need additional assistance, please reach out to us at GovShutdownRelief@marylandtaxes.gov.

All available resources for federal workers from the Labor’s federal workers site.
