PURPOSE OF FORM
Form 1099ME is used to report withholding of Maine income tax from Maine source distributive income for a nonresident owner of a
pass-through entity. This form includes only the amount withheld from the recipient shown in boxes a & b. Form 1099ME is not used to
report wage withholding or estimated income tax payments. Affected members must submit this form with their Maine income tax return
to establish the amount withheld for the year and reported on Form 941P-ME, Schedule 2P - Pass-through Entity Withholding Listing.
For more information about pass-through entity withholding, refer to the MRS web site at
RECIPIENT INSTRUCTIONS
The amounts in boxes 1 and 2 represent Maine income taxes paid on your behalf by the pass-through entity listed in box c or 4. You may claim credit
for these amounts on your Maine income tax return. To receive credit, you must enter the total of boxes 1 and 2 as withholding on your 2010 Maine
income tax return. Your share of this entity’s income will be included on your federal return and will be reported to you separately on Schedule K-1.
The amount in box 3 is your share of income taxes withheld from the purchase price of Maine property sold by the entity during
the year. The buyer of the property has remitted the withheld tax to Maine Revenue Services. The amount reported in box 3
cannot be claimed as withholding on your Maine income tax return; instead, it must be claimed as an estimated tax payment.
NOTE: You will not receive credit for the amounts reported in boxes 1 - 3 unless a copy of this form is attached to your Maine income
tax return.
