Maine allows an automatic six month extension to October 15 without filing an application.
An additional two-month extension is allowed if submitted in writing prior to the expiration of the six-month period. At least 90% of the tax owed must be paid by the original return due date to avoid a penalty. Use Form 1040EXT-ME, Extension Payment Voucher for Individual Income Tax, to make a payment.
To access the Maine 1040EXT-ME in TaxSlayer Pro, from the Maine Tax Return Menu select:
- Miscellaneous Forms
- Form 1040EXT-ME - Extension Payment Voucher
Note: The Maine extension is not supported for electronic filing and will need to be mailed.
