WHAT:  With the tax filing deadline fast approaching, Comptroller Peter Franchot will host an online chat for Maryland taxpayers.  People will be able to logon and ask the Comptroller any of their last minute tax questions and seek advice before the approaching April 15 deadline.  In the waning days of the filing season, the Comptroller wants to offer answers to stressed out filers and ensure taxpayers do not fall victim to any last minute tax scams or rush into any short-sighted refund anticipation loans during these final hours.
