Tax credit for parents after stillbirth

You can claim a $1,000 Maryland income tax credit for each stillbirth with a Maryland stillbirth certificate or an equivalent fetal death certificate from another state. The credit is refundable, so you get a refund if it is larger than your Maryland tax. It is reduced by $50 for every $1,000 (or part of $1,000) your federal AGI is over $100,000 if single, or $150,000 if married filing jointly. You must claim it for the tax year the stillbirth happened. This applies to tax years starting after December 31, 2026.
