Maryland Form PV is a personal income tax payment voucher sent with a check or money order for a balance due on Form 502 or 505, an estimated tax payment, or an extension payment. It identifies the taxpayer, payment type, tax year, and payment amount.

Use Form PV when paying by check or money order for:
- A balance due on Maryland resident Form 502 or nonresident Form 505.

- Make your check or money order payable to “Comptroller of Maryland.” Include your SSN or ITIN, tax year, and tax type on it.

Common mistakes
- Combining payment types on one voucher: Use a separate Form PV for each payment type and check only one of Boxes 1 through 4.
- Missing Box 1a: For estimated payments, check it if this is your first estimated payment or your filing status has changed.
- Leaving identifying details off your payment: Include your SSN or ITIN, tax year, and tax type on the check or money order. Missing information will delay processing.
- Sending cash: Do not send cash. Use a check or money order for a mailed payment.
- Using the wrong ink: Use only blue or black ink.
- Not attaching the payment: Attach your check or money order to Form PV. When mailing it with Form 502 or 505, put the voucher and attached payment on top.
