The State of Maine will automatically grant you a 6-month tax extension wihout filing any paperwork at all. If, however, you need to make a state tax payment, then you need to submit Maine Form 1040EXT-ME (PDF) or make a payment online using Maine Electronic Services.

If you do not need to make a tax payment and have received an approval notification from FileLater, there’s nothing more for you to do.

Filing for a Maine tax extension will not provide you with additional time to pay any tax balance due, which must be paid by the original filing deadline or interest and other payment penalties may apply.

For additional information, please visit the State of Maine Revenue Services website.
