Some Marylanders may have to wait a little longer for their state tax refunds this spring as the comptroller’s office works through a backlog of returns caused by a system outage.

The disruption was tied to an aging system — not cyber attack — according to a statement from the state comptroller’s office. The outage reportedly delayed tens of thousands of income tax returns.

The Maryland Board of Public Works met for the first time with its new chair Gov. Wes Moore and Comptroller Brooke Lierman.

Former Del. Brooke Lierman is now the state of Maryland's 34th comptroller and the first woman to ever hold the position. Her main goal: ensure the office is fair and equitable.
