The client’s federal return was rejected and the Maine return was accepted but is wrong. What do I do?
Since Maine is not a “piggyback” or”fed-state” participant, it is possible that the Maine return might get processed and accepted before the federal return. If this problem should occur, the Maine return will now have to be amended so that its figures match the corrected federal figures. First, contact the Income Tax Division of Maine Revenue Services at (207) 626-8475 to see if the change can be made over the phone. If that cannot be done, then the amended Maine return must be done on paper forms and mailed to Maine Revenue Services.
