Does ExpressExtension support this State filing?  

Since this state supports only electronic filing options, currently, we do not support this state filing. However, we are working closely to enable the e-filing service for you. 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?

Calendar year taxpayers can pay the estimated tax in full with the declaration, or in equal installments, on or before April 15th, June 15th, September 15th, and January 15th.
