Md. Extends Income Tax Payment Deadline Due To COVID-19

Maryland will extend the state's deadline for corporate and individual income tax payments from April 15 to July 15 and will waive all interest and penalties for late payments made before then, the state comptroller has announced.

In a statement issued Wednesday, the Maryland Comptroller's Office said it would follow the federal 90-day payment extension offered as relief from the impact of COVID-19, the novel coronavirus. The office added separately that individuals and businesses that claim a federal tax filing extension would automatically extend their state filing deadline.

The comptroller previously extended business-related filing deadlines in March, April and May to June 1, including for sales and use tax, withholding tax and a variety of excise taxes and fees.
