Maryland LLC & Partnership Tax Extension

Maryland LLCs and partnerships file their pass-through entity returns with the Maryland Comptroller. To extend the filing deadline from March 16, 2026 to September 15, 2026, a Maryland pass-through entity must submit Form 510E. Unlike some states, Maryland requires a separate state extension form–the federal IRS Form 7004 alone does not extend the Maryland deadline.

Original Deadline March 16, 2026
Extended Deadline September 15, 2026
State Form Required by March 16 – A federal extension does NOT extend your Maryland LLC/partnership deadline. Form 510E must be filed with Maryland by March 16, 2026 to move the deadline to September 15, 2026.

How the Extension Works

File Form 510E with the Maryland Comptroller before March 16, 2026. This extends the filing deadline to September 15, 2026. Pay any Maryland pass-through entity tax owed using Maryland’s online business file system or mail payment to: Comptroller of Maryland, Revenue Administration Division, Annapolis, MD 21411-0001. Note: Maryland also has a pass-through entity (PTE) election that may affect payment requirements.

Maryland’s PTE election allows pass-through entities to pay tax at the entity level on behalf of members. If your LLC or partnership has elected PTE treatment, confirm payment obligations with both federal and Maryland requirements before March 16, 2026.

Best Practices

  • File Maryland Form 510E before March 16, 2026–a federal extension alone does not extend the Maryland LLC/partnership deadline.
  • Pay any Maryland pass-through entity tax by March 16, 2026 through Maryland’s online portal or by mail.
  • Review Maryland’s PTE election status before March 16, 2026 to confirm whether entity-level tax is owed.
  • File the completed Maryland LLC or partnership return by September 15, 2026.

Original deadline: March 16, 2026 Extended to: September 15, 2026 Extension: 6 months automatic

Maryland S Corporation Tax Extension

Maryland S corporations file pass-through entity returns with the Maryland Comptroller. A 7-month extension is available–moving the deadline from March 16, 2026 to September 15, 2026–upon filing Maryland Form 510E. The federal IRS Form 7004 does not extend the Maryland S corporation return on its own.

Original Deadline March 16, 2026
Extended Deadline September 15, 2026
Maryland Form 510E Required by March 16 – A federal extension does NOT extend the Maryland S corporation deadline. File Maryland Form 510E before March 16, 2026 to obtain the 7-month extension to September 15, 2026.

How the Extension Works

File Form 510E with the Maryland Comptroller before March 16, 2026 to extend to September 15, 2026. Pay any Maryland S corporation or PTE tax owed using Maryland’s online business portal or mail to: Comptroller of Maryland, Revenue Administration Division, Annapolis, MD 21411-0001. Note that Maryland S corporations may be subject to the PTE election tax.

Maryland’s PTE election can allow the S corporation to pay Maryland income tax at the entity level on behalf of shareholders. If your S corporation has made the PTE election, confirm entity-level payment amounts before March 16, 2026.

Best Practices

  • File Maryland Form 510E before March 16, 2026–federal Form 7004 alone does not extend the Maryland S corp deadline.
  • Pay Maryland S corporation or PTE tax by March 16, 2026 through Maryland’s online portal or by mail.
  • Confirm PTE election status and whether entity-level tax is owed before March 16, 2026.

Maryland Business Tax Extension – C Corporation

Form 500E | Maryland Corporation Income Tax Extension  •  C Corporation
Original deadline: April 15, 2026 Extended to: November 15, 2026 Extension: 6 months automatic

Maryland C Corporation Tax Extension

Maryland C corporations file with the Maryland Comptroller and pay Maryland corporate income tax. Maryland provides a 7-month extension–moving the C corporation deadline from April 15, 2026 to November 15, 2026–upon filing Maryland Form 500E. A federal extension alone does not extend the Maryland C corporation return.

Original Deadline April 15, 2026
Extended Deadline November 15, 2026
Maryland Form 500E Required by April 15 – A federal extension does NOT extend the Maryland C corporation deadline. File Maryland Form 500E before April 15, 2026 to move the deadline to November 15, 2026.

How the Extension Works

File Maryland Form 500E before April 15, 2026 to obtain the 7-month extension to November 15, 2026. Pay any Maryland corporate income tax owed using Maryland’s online business portal or mail to: Comptroller of Maryland, Revenue Administration Division, Annapolis, MD 21411-0001.

Maryland uses a separate form for C corporations (Form 500E) vs. pass-through entities (Form 510E). Confirm you are filing the correct extension form before April 15, 2026 to ensure the Maryland C corporation deadline is properly extended.

Best Practices

  • File Maryland Form 500E before April 15, 2026–the federal extension does not extend the Maryland C corp deadline.
  • Pay Maryland corporate income tax by April 15, 2026 through Maryland’s online portal or by mail.
  • Do not confuse Form 500E (C corporation) with Form 510E (pass-through entity)–use the correct form.
  • File the completed Maryland C corporation return by November 15, 2026.

Maryland Business Tax Extension – Fiduciary

Form 504E | Maryland Fiduciary Income Tax Extension  •  Fiduciary
Original deadline: April 15, 2026 Extended to: October 15, 2026 Extension: 6 months automatic

Maryland Fiduciary Tax Extension

Maryland fiduciary returns (trusts and estates) are filed with the Maryland Comptroller. A 7-month extension to October 15, 2026 is available by filing Maryland Form 504E before the April 15, 2026 original deadline. The federal extension alone does not extend the Maryland fiduciary return.

Original Deadline April 15, 2026
Extended Deadline October 15, 2026
Maryland Form 504E Required by April 15 – A federal extension does NOT extend the Maryland fiduciary deadline. File Maryland Form 504E before April 15, 2026 to move the deadline to October 15, 2026.

How the Extension Works

File Maryland Form 504E before April 15, 2026 to extend the fiduciary filing deadline to October 15, 2026. Pay any Maryland fiduciary income tax owed through Maryland’s online portal or mail to: Comptroller of Maryland, Revenue Administration Division, Annapolis, MD 21411-0001.

Maryland uses a separate fiduciary extension form (Form 504E) distinct from both the pass-through entity (510E) and C corporation (500E) forms. Filing the wrong form will not extend the Maryland fiduciary deadline–confirm you are using Form 504E.

Best Practices

  • File Maryland Form 504E before April 15, 2026–the federal extension does not extend the Maryland fiduciary deadline.
  • Pay Maryland fiduciary income tax by April 15, 2026 through Maryland’s online portal or by mail.
  • Use Form 504E specifically–not Form 500E or Form 510E%#8212;for Maryland fiduciary extensions.
  • File the completed Maryland fiduciary return by October 15, 2026.
