Fax Maine Department of Revenue — Reach the Right Office
Faxing Maine Revenue Services about a state tax matter works best when you send to the right unit, because Maine's program splits its incoming fax by function. Maine Revenue Services is the agency that administers state taxes in Maine, serving residents across northern New England. This guide shows how to route the document, what to include, and how to fax it securely.
Does Maine Revenue Services accept a fax?
Fax has a defined role at a revenue department: authorization forms, audit and notice responses, and payment-arrangement documents. Everyday returns and payments stay online, so confirm what the department wants by fax. When in doubt, confirm with the office whether fax is an option for your filing before you rely on it.
Finding the official fax number
There is no fax number printed here on purpose — Maine Revenue Services routes documents by office and the line changes. Start with the form or notice you are responding to, confirm the number on the agency's official site, and verify it by phone before sending.
What people fax to Maine Revenue Services
- A tax-clearance or account-status request
- A protest or appeal of an assessment
- A power-of-attorney or third-party authorization form
- An offer-in-compromise or hardship packet
- Installment-agreement or payment-plan paperwork
Where a revenue-department fax should go
The department splits incoming fax traffic, so a POA and an audit response go to different units. A protest or appeal form lists where to send the documents. Match the response to the unit named on your notice so it reaches the right desk.

Federal agencies still write fax into new rules and notices
The Federal Register — the daily journal of U.S. federal rulemaking — regularly publishes rules and notices that reference fax as an accepted or required submission channel for filings with agencies like the IRS, SSA, and CMS. That is why fax remains a live requirement for many official forms even as electronic portals expand.
