Can I request an extension for filing my taxes in Maine?

Yes, you can request an extension for filing your taxes in Maine. To do so, you need to file Form EXT-001 by the original due date of your return, which is generally April 15th. This extension will give you an additional six months to file your Maine tax return, moving the deadline to October 15th. However, please note that an extension of time to file does not grant an extension of time to pay any taxes owed. If you anticipate owing Maine tax, it is important to make a payment by the original due date to avoid penalties and interest. You can make a payment online using the maine.gov/revenue website or through other available payment methods.
