File Your Tax Return Now →Maryland Personal Income Tax Extension – Federal Extension Plus No Balance Due
Maryland’s automatic extension has two conditions: you must have a valid federal extension through IRS Form 4868, and you must owe no Maryland income tax. When both conditions are met, the filing deadline moves from April 15, 2026, to October 15, 2026 – no separate Maryland form required. If you have no balance due but also have no federal extension, you can still request a Maryland-only extension online via iFile. If you owe Maryland tax, a different rule applies.
Federal Extension + No Maryland Balance Due
Maryland’s automatic extension applies only if you have a valid federal extension and owe no Maryland income tax. Both conditions must be met to qualify without filing Form PV.
File Form PV and Pay in Full by April 15, 2026
If you have a Maryland tax balance, the automatic extension alone is not sufficient. You must file Form PV and pay the full amount owed by April 15, 2026, to avoid penalties and interest.
When Form PV Is Required
Maryland’s Form PV (Personal Tax Payment Voucher) is required whenever a Maryland tax balance is owed under an extension. Mail the form with payment by April 15, 2026. If paying online through Maryland’s eCheck portal (velocitypayment.com), no paper form submission is needed.
Making Extension Payments
Maryland’s eCheck portal (velocitypayment.com) supports ACH debit with no fee – you choose your own payment date and receive instant confirmation. Credit card payments are available by calling 1-800-272-9829 or visiting egov.maryland.gov, with a convenience fee based on the payment amount.
Late Filing and Payment Penalties
Maryland imposes penalties of up to 25% of unpaid tax for both failure to file and failure to pay. Both can apply simultaneously. Filing by October 15 and paying any balance in full by April 15 eliminates all exposure.
Best Practices
- ✓File IRS Form 4868 by April 15 – Maryland’s extension requires federal approval.
- ✓If you owe Maryland tax, file Form PV and pay in full by April 15, 2026.
- ✓Use velocitypayment.com eCheck for ACH debit – choose your own date, no fee.
- ✓Attach a copy of your federal Form 4868 when you file your Maryland return by October 15.
Maryland’s extension is clean once you know the rule: no balance due means the federal extension covers you automatically. A balance due means Form PV and full payment are required by April 15. Handle that by the deadline and file your return by October 15, 2026.
