Pay with Direct Debit

You can pay your Maryland tax by direct debit if you file electronically

If you file electronically by the April 15 deadline, you have until April 30 to make the electronic payment (by direct debit or credit card). If you file electronically and pay by check or money order, your payment is due by April 15.

Personal income tax returns are due by April 15. If you are filing as fiscal year taxpayer, your return is due on the 15th day of the fourth month following the close of the fiscal year. If any due date falls on a Saturday, Sunday or legal holiday, the return must be filed by the next business day.

Authorizing payment

Direct debit payments are processed based on the amount that you authorize. When you select the debit payment option, you will be prompted to enter your bank routing number, your bank account number and the date you wish to have the funds withdrawn.

Partial payments are accepted. However, you must pay the final balance by the filing due date, using a check, money order or credit card. You cannot pay the final balance with another direct debit.

Enter numbers carefully

Enter your bank account and routing numbers carefully. We cannot change any of your numbers after you have entered the information, even if you request us to do so. In addition, we cannot cancel your direct debit payment after you have authorized the payment.

If we have to make an adjustment or if you amend your return, we will notify you about any change in the refund or any additional amount owed.
