How to efile state tax extension

Maryland (MD) does not require you file if there is no tax due. An extension of time to file is not an extension of time to pay.

If you have an approved Federal tax extension (IRS Form 4868), you will automatically receive a Maryland tax extension. In this case, you do not need to file a separate state form unless you owe Maryland income tax.

• Follow the instructions on Form PV to request an automatic extension on filing your return. Filing this form extends the time to file your return, but does not extend the time to pay your taxes. Payment of the expected tax due is required with Form PV by April 18, 2022*. You can file and pay by credit card or electronic funds withdrawal (direct debit) on our Web site. If no tax is due and you requested a federal extension, you do not need to file Form PV or take any other action to obtain an automatic six month extension. If no tax is due and you did not request a federal extension, file your Maryland state extension online or by phone at 410-260-7829. Only submit Form PV if there is tax due.

If you are receiving a refund on MD, do not file an extension.  The new Maryland Payment Voucher (PV) must be used to determine the amount of the estimated payment or extension payment required.
