GENERAL INFORMATION
If you are unable to file your Maine income or franchise tax return by the original due date of the return, Maine allows an automatic
six-month extension of time to file for individuals and fiduciaries and seven months for corporations and financial institutions. Requests
for additional time to file must be submitted in writing prior to the expiration of the extension period. Generally, the total extension
period cannot exceed 8 months.
CAUTION: AN EXTENSION TO FILE YOUR MAINE RETURN IS NOT AN EXTENSION FOR PAYMENT OF TAX. If you owe
money, you must pay at least 90% of that amount by the original due date for filing your return in order to avoid the penalty for late
payment of tax. The remaining 10% must be paid when the return is filed on or before the extension due date in order to avoid the
failure to pay penalty. However, interest is charged on any tax paid after the original due date of your return.
If you will be filing an individual income tax return and you make a payment prior to the filing of that return, you must use
a Long Form (1040ME) when you file your return.
SPECIFIC INSTRUCTIONS
Lines 1 and 2. Enter on line 1 the social security number (SSN) or federal employer identification number (EIN) that you will show first
on your income tax return. If you plan to file a joint individual income tax return, enter your spouse’s SSN on line 2.
Line 3. Enter your name(s) and address. If an individual and you plan to file a joint return, include both spouses’ names in the order
in which they will appear on your return. If a corporation or financial institution, enter the company’s name and address. If a fiduciary,
enter the name and address of the estate or trust.
Line 4. Check the box that corresponds to the type of return for which the payment is to be applied.
Line 5. Payment amount. Enter the amount of your check or money order.
INTEREST and PENALTIES
You will owe interest at the rate of 9% per year on any tax not paid by the regular due date of your return. The interest is
compounded monthly and continues until you pay the tax.
The penalty for late payment is 1% of any balance due not paid by the regular due date. This rate applies to each month or part
of a month the tax is unpaid. The maximum penalty is 25%. This penalty does not apply if 90% of the tax liability is paid by the original
due date of the return and the remaining 10% is paid with the return by the extended due date.
The penalty for late filing is $25 or 10% of the tax due, whichever is greater. You will incur no penalty for late filing if your return is
filed on or before the automatic extension due date.
