I can honestly say that as I am just recovering from a bad Pneumonia, I totally don't GET it. I am turning the corner now, though, so may be able to figure it out.

Is this fee the 1% Foreign Estate Fee charged to MD nonresidents owning property in MD, meaning the property in question was worth $4.4 million. Is that correct? If so, this is a fee charged by MD Register of Wills that allows the estate to convey title to that MD property when it is sold or bequeathed. To me, that sounds like a probate fee or fee that allows similar probate-type authority granted by MD Reg of Wills, and I would probably treat it as such. You should do some more research as this is just my opinion. Maybe some of our MD preparers will chime in on this too.

I was just now reading about this through Tax Talk News and am scratching my head on how to manage. So as a sole practitioner I have to use 2FA to access a pdf file on my computer? I have to text to myself or call myself or email myself every time I want to look at a client file? My computer is password protected as is the ATX software but I don't have each client pw protected as I am the only user. If so, how do I confirm to myself that I am me, the authorized user? I realize that I will have to do something more now with Verifyle but my clients are not going to like it. At least I know it is an option so will have to read up on how to implement for myself and for each client. Retirement is REALLY looking better all the time! I'm getting too tired of soooo many hoops....
