Partnerships and S corporations with Maine-source income were required to file annual information returns on Form 1065ME/1120S-ME through 2011. Beginning with the 2012 tax year, partnerships and S corporations are no longer required to file Form 1065ME/1120S-ME. Instead, these entities must file Form 941P if they have Maine source income and any members that are not residents of Maine. Entities may also be required to withhold income tax or obtain an exemption from withholding for nonresident member or may elect to file a composite return on behalf of the nonresident members.
