A state tax extension usually does not extend the time to pay any tax that’s due on the return. You should send a payment for whatever you anticipate you owe at the time you file the extension. In many states, taxpayers can use the extension form as a voucher to remit tax payments to the state by the tax-filing deadline.

Payments can be remitted by the April deadline using the payment voucher Form 40V and checking the box for Automatic Extension Payment.
