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 payments.
To access the Maine 1040EXT-ME, Extension Payment Voucher, from the main menu of the Maine state return, select:
