Individuals residing in Maryland are not required to file a separate extension form if they owe zero Maryland tax and have a valid Federal tax extension (IRS Form 4868). You will automatically be granted a 6-month state extension of time to file a Maryland Income tax return.

If you owe additional state tax and need an extension of time to file, file a separate extension form on or before the actual due date of the return to get an extension of time to file a Maryland tax return.

  • Check/Money Order- File Form PV by the due date and enclose a check or money order for the amount you expect to owe. 
  • Payments can also be made online if you electronically filed your extension request via iFile Maryland.
  • You can make an extension payment with Form 502E (Application for Extension to File Personal Income Tax Return). Note: You should file Form 502E only if you are making a payment with your extension request or otherwise, do not file Form 502E if no tax is due with your Maryland extension.
