 If you are not able to pay the complete balance due to the state, your best option is to pay as much as you can before the deadline of your return. This will limit the amount of interest you are charged. 

Some states such as Iowa, Colorado, Maine, North Carolina, Oklahoma, South Carolina require 90% of the tax liability to be paid on or before the original due date of the return while other states such as Delaware, Rhode Island, Arkansas require you to pay the full balance due to the state on or before the original deadline of the return to get an extension.

Therefore, before you begin filing your state extension, read the filing requirements carefully and then click “start filing” to apply for an extension of time to file your state income tax return.
