Maryland Comptroller Extends State Individual Income Tax Filing Deadline to July 15

Comptroller Peter Franchot announced today the filing and payment deadline for 2021 Maryland state individual income taxes has been extended by three months – to Friday, July 15, 2022 – to assist taxpayers facing financial difficulties due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

Maryland taxpayers do not need to request an extension to receive the three-month grace period; it will be automatically granted to all resident and nonresident filers. The Internal Revenue Service, which already has warned of processing delays for the 2022 tax season due to COVID, has not indicated any plans to extend the federal income tax filing and payment deadline beyond April 18.

UHY will continue to monitor these and any other potential tax law changes and provide updates as new information is released. If you have any questions about how this affects you, please reach out to a UHY professional.
