Include your spouse’s income in your calculation if you are filing a joint return. Lines 3-7. Use the filing status from your federal income tax return. If you filed a married filing jointly federal return and one spouse is a part-year resident, nonresident or safe harbor resident, see the Guidance Documents for Schedule NR and Schedule NRH available at www.maine.gov/revenue/tax-return-forms (select Income Tax Guidance Documents). If you are filing married filing separately, be sure to include your spouse’s name and social security number. Lines 8-11a. See the General Instructions above to determine your residency status.

A Maine income tax return must be filed by April 17, 2024, if you are a resident of Maine who is required to file a federal income tax return or if you are not required to file a federal return, but do have income subject to Maine income tax resulting in a Maine income tax liability. Even if you are required to file a federal income tax return, you do not have to file a Maine income tax return if you have no income addition modifications (Form 1040ME, Schedule 1A, line 12) and your income subject to Maine income tax is less than the sum of your Maine standard deduction amount plus your personal exemption amount. However, you must file a return to claim any refund due to you. Generally, if you are a nonresident or a safe harbor resident who has income from Maine sources resulting in a Maine income tax liability, you must file a Maine income tax return. See below for more information on residency, including safe harbors. Nonresidents - see Schedule NR instructions for minimum taxability thresholds. Also see, 36 M.R.S. § 5142(8-B) and Rule 806. For answers to frequently asked questions (FAQs), visit www. maine.gov/revenue/faq. What is my Residency Status? To determine your residency status for 2023, read the following. Domicile: Domicile is the place an individual establishes as their permanent home and includes the place to which they intend to return after any period of absence. A number of factors associated with residency are relevant in the evaluation of a claimed domicile. A domicile, once established, continues until a new, fixed and permanent home is acquired. To change domicile, a taxpayer must exhibit actions consistent with a change. No change of domicile results from moving to a new location if the intent is to remain only for a limited time, even if it is for a relatively long duration. • Full-year Resident: 1) Maine was my domicile for the entire year of 2023; or 2) I maintained a permanent place of abode in Maine for the entire year and spent a total of more than 183 days in Maine. • Safe Harbor Resident (treated as a nonresident): General Safe Harbor - Maine was my domicile in 2023, I did not maintain a permanent place of abode in Maine, I maintained a permanent place of abode outside Maine and I spent no more than 30 days of 2023 in Maine. An individual qualifying under the safe harbor rule will be treated as a nonresident for Maine individual income tax purposes. Foreign Safe Harbor - I spent at least 450 days in a foreign country during any 548-day period occurring partially or fully in the tax year. The taxpayer must also meet other eligibility criteria. If you qualify for the Foreign Safe Harbor, you will be considered a safe harbor resident and treated as a nonresident for the 548-day period even though you were domiciled in Maine. • Part-year Resident: I was domiciled in Maine for part of the year and was not a full-year resident as defined in 2) above. • Nonresident: I was not a resident or part-year resident in 2023, but I do have Maine-source income. Follow the federal filing requirements for filing status, federal adjusted gross income, and standard or itemized deductions. NOTE: Safe harbor residents, part-year residents, and nonresidents, file Form 1040ME and Schedule NR or NRH. Schedules NR and NRH are available at www.maine.gov/revenue/ tax-return-forms. For additional information on determining Maine residency or if you are in the military, see the Maine Revenue Services Guidance Documents titled Determining Residency Status and Residency Safe Harbors for Residents Spending Time Outside Maine available at www.maine.gov/ revenue/tax-return-forms (select Income Tax Guidance Documents). 3

To calculate the amount to enter on these lines, complete a pro forma federal Form 4562 as if no bonus depreciation was claimed on the property placed in service in tax year 2023. The total addition modification is the difference between the federal depreciation claimed on Form 4562 and the depreciation calculated on the pro forma Form 4562.

Otherwise, the entire addition must be entered on line 4. Enclose copies of the original and pro forma federal Forms 4562, along with the add-back calculation, with the return.
