Maryland state tax 2020 filing extension

[PA53]

wonder why Turbo tax still has 2020 Maryland state income tax due on 4/15/2021 and not 7/15/2021? 

Is 7/15/2021 due date is only for certain state residents or every state residents?

TurboTax is still updating programs as the federal government and states make tax changes.

The filing deadline for Maryland taxpayers is July 15 and interest and penalty for late payment of tax will be waived if paid by July 15, 2021.

That's all well and good, but I can't use the Turbotax software to e-file in MD if it still thinks the filing date is 4/15.  When will the software be updated...4/15 is only days away?

The TurboTax 2020 programs can be used to e-file a federal or state tax return at any time up through October 15, 2021.  If the state tax return has a state tax refund it can be filed any time in the next three years without any penalties.  If the state tax return has taxes owed you can pay the taxes owed on the state website or mail a check with a payment voucher on or before July 15, 2021.

I appreciate the reply, but if I want to e-file using Turbotax Deluxe, it won't let me pick a date for the funds to be pulled from my bank account beyond 04/30.  MD has extended this deadline until 7/15.  Sure would be nice if the software was updated to reflect this (as it has been for the IRS extension to 5/15).

Trying to use e-file for MD and turbo tax still has not updated the program for the new filing deadline of 7/15/2021.  Please advise when this will be done or how to get around it.

@Driz11  The 502LU is a part of the program. You can safely file MD.

Confirming you can now e-file with 7/15 filing/payment withdrawal date for MD, thank you.
