A reminder that April 15 is not tax day this year. That’s because Maryland Comptroller Peter Franchot extended the state income tax filing deadline by three months until July 15, 2021.
“You won’t have any interest applied, you won’t have any penalties, you simply keep for 90 says the money that you owe the state of Maryland in your taxes and use it as a cushion. Small businesses and individuals, many of them are stressed by the pandemic,” said Comptroller Franchot during an interview with MyMCM on Thursday.
The federal deadline to file is May 17. Comptroller Franchot says all new tax forms will be added or updated by April 15th.
It's April 15, but it is NOT tax day! The extended Maryland deadline is now July 15, and the federal deadline is May 17.
