15. Why didn’t you give me credit for my withholdings?

We may not have given you credit for your withholdings because of a missing or unclear W-2 or 1099. You may not claim federal tax, medicaid, social security, or taxes paid to another state as Maine withholdings. The box on your W-2 or 1099 labeled ”State income tax” lists the amount of state withholdings. The box labeled ”State” indicates the state to which the withholdings were sent.

To tell if the amount you claimed on your return is correct, add up the boxes labeled ”State income tax” that were withheld for Maine on all your W-2s and 1099s. If this is more than the amount we allowed you, send us legible copies of your W-2s and 1099s, with a copy of your notice and we will review our changes.
