Maine taxes now match 2024 federal code

Maine law now uses the federal tax code as it stood on December 31, 2024. This applies to Maine tax years that begin on or after January 1, 2024. For earlier years, Maine uses those federal rules only when the federal code says they apply. The law itself does not create new taxes or credits, but it can change deductions, credits, and taxable income, so your Maine tax may go up or down. The law takes effect immediately when approved.
