Does ExpressExtension support this State filing?  

No, currently, we do not support this state filing. If you are looking for an e-file solution for Federal Form 4868, you can file your extension and get approval within minutes with ExpressExtension. Please Note: An extension to file doesn’t mean more time to pay, if you owe any tax due, make your tax payment by the original due date of your state return to avoid late payment penalties. 

Any Special Requirements?

The extension does not apply to estimated tax payments made quarterly by individuals – those payments will still be due by the regular due date. Therefore, make a tax payment with your Delaware extension request by the original due date to avoid being charged penalties and interest.
