What Maryland Form 588 does
Maryland Form 588 is used to direct one Maryland income tax refund into more than one account. The taxpayer provides identifying information, refund allocation details, and banking information for each destination account, then signs the form as required.

Privacy pitfalls when handling Form 588
Bank account and routing numbers appear in the completed Form 588, so restrict access and avoid sending the signed PDF through unsecured channels. Adding multiple refund accounts without confirming each owner’s consent can create disclosure problems and delay Maryland’s processing of the allocation request. A shared template may expose one taxpayer’s identifying information to another user unless administrators separate records and apply role-based access controls. Electronic consent evidence may be incomplete if the signer receives the document without the required consumer disclosure and accessible record procedures.
Form 588 completion and signing questions
Use these answers to resolve field-mapping, authentication, retention, and submission questions before finalizing Maryland Form 588.
If the Form 588 PDF lacks detected fields, upload the original file again and use signNow’s field placement tools. The Business plan includes templates and audit trails, allowing the preparer to map Maryland account details manually before sending. Confirm every routing and account number visually before signature.
The Business plan costs $8/user/month with annual billing and includes 100 signature invites per user annually. If a tax office needs bulk sending for repeated Maryland refund forms, Business Premium costs $15/user/month annually and includes bulk send. Additional invite charges may apply after plan limits.
For a consumer-facing electronic Form 588 workflow, provide the ESIGN consumer disclosure, explain the right to paper records, confirm electronic access, and explain consent withdrawal procedures under 15 U.S.C. §7001(c). signNow supports ESIGN and UETA workflows, but the preparer remains responsible for required disclosures.
Use signNow’s SMS authentication or another configured signer-authentication method when the refund information requires stronger attribution. The audit trail records signing actions, timestamps, and related evidence. Authentication choices should match the tax office’s identity-verification policy and Maryland filing requirements.
The completed Form 588 and its audit trail can be retained in signNow and exported for the organization’s records. Federal tax-record guidance generally uses three years from filing under IRC §6501(a), but Maryland or organizational policies may require longer retention.
Do not assume a signed signNow copy automatically submits Form 588 to Maryland. signNow completes the electronic document workflow; the taxpayer or preparer must follow the Maryland Comptroller’s filing and refund-delivery instructions for the 2020 form.
