INSTRUCTIONS FOR MET 1E
APPLICATION FOR EXTENSION OF TIME TO FILE THE
MARYLAND ESTATE TAX RETURN
An extension to file the Maryland estate tax return will generally be allowed for up to six months from the due date of the return or
up to one year if the person required to file the return is out of the country. The Maryland filing extension must be requested on or
before the statutory nine-month due date. An extension may be requested by completing the MET 1E form and forwarding it to the
Comptroller of Maryland along with the following:
• Copy of the federal extension request, Form 4768, with attachments, if applicable
• Payment of the estimated Maryland estate tax, if any (or a request for an alternative payment schedule)
Mail to:
Comptroller of Maryland
Revenue Administration Division – Estate Tax Section
P.O. Box 828
Annapolis, MD 21404-0828
Important: The granting of an extension of time to file the Maryland estate tax return does not change the due date for payment of
the tax as provided by statute. As provided in Section 13-601(d) of the Tax-General Article, Annotated Code of Maryland,
statutory interest will be due on any portion of the Maryland estate tax liability not satisfied by the nine-month due
date. Late payments of either the estimated or balance due amounts may also be subject to late payment penalties as
provided in Section 13-701 of the Tax-General Article, Annotated Code of Maryland.

decedent’s predeceased spouse.
Line 2
Estimated deductions are the deductions allowable under the federal estate tax (other than the deduction for state death
taxes) plus the deductions for a Maryland QTIP election made in the current return.
Line 3
Estimated taxable estate – subtract line 2 from line 1.
Line 4
Estimated taxable estate including adjusted taxable gifts is the total of the taxable estate above plus the adjusted taxable
gifts from line 4 of the federal Form 706.
Line 5
Subtract $1,000,000 from line 3 as indicated.
Line 6
Multiply the amount of line 5 by 16% (.16) to obtain the estimated limit on Maryland estate tax.
Line 7
The estimated federal credit for state death taxes is the maximum allowable credit without reduction for the federal
phase-out and repeal of this credit. See worksheet on the back of the application.

Determine the percentage that the Maryland property bears to the estimated total augmented gross estate and report on
this line. This will be 100 percent unless the augmented gross estate includes property in more than one state, territory,
etc.
