Tax season is about to get easier! On the Maine Tax Portal, a new online system of Maine Revenue Services, businesses will be able to file, pay, and manage taxes online 24 hours a day, seven days a week. The new Maine Tax Portal, will be available for most business taxpayers December 1, 2022. It will replace I-File, EZ-Pay, and MEETRS, which will be deactivated for most business taxpayers March 31, 2023.

Here's what you need to do:

1. Gather your records. Print filing and payment history from I-File, EZ-Pay, and MEETRS from the past three years.
2. 2. Check the schedule. Confirm when the Maine Tax Portal will be available for the types of taxes you pay. [Link to rollout schedule] https://www.maine.gov/revenue/portal
3. Create a username and password at maine.gov/revenue/portal.
4. Talk to your tax preparer. Third-party tax professionals will need to set up their own accounts, and get your authorization to access your accounts.
