Maryland TPA, RAA + POA Requirements
Why this matters
Beyond works directly with state agencies on your behalf – reporting new hires to labor departments, calculating tax rates, paying taxes and insurance contributions, and filing required reports.
To do this, we must be authorized to represent your business with the tax authorities in every state where you have obligations.
For example, if your company operates in Maryland and Pennsylvania, you must complete and return a Power of Attorney (POA) for each state.
Each tax office has its own process, so steps and requirements will vary. Below are the instructions for Maryland.
