Maryland Form PV is a personal 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, tax year, payment type, and payment amount.
Who files this form
Use Form PV when sending a check or money order for:
- A balance due on the “Total Amount Due” line of Form 502 or Form 505.
- An estimated tax payment.
- An extension payment.
If you electronically filed Form 502/505 or a request for a personal extension but are paying by check or money order, include Form PV with your payment. You do not need Form PV if you pay electronically.

How to file
Paying by check or money order
- Complete Form PV in blue or black ink. Enter your identifying information, address, tax year, and exact payment amount.
- Check only one payment-type box: estimated payment (502D), extension payment (502E), resident return payment (502), or nonresident return payment (505). For an estimated payment, also check Box 1a if this is your first estimated payment or your filing status has changed.
- Make your check or money order payable to Comptroller of Maryland. Include the last four digits of your SSN or ITIN, the tax year, and the tax type.
- Attach the check or money order to Form PV with one staple. If mailing it with Form 502 or 505, place the voucher and attached payment on top of the return.

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 when required. If you check Box 1, also check Box 1a if this is your first estimated payment or your filing status has changed.
- Leaving required details off the check or money order. Include the last four digits of your SSN or ITIN, the tax year, and the tax type. Missing information will delay payment processing.
- Sending cash. Do not send cash; use a check or money order for a mailed payment.
- Using another ink color. Use blue or black ink only.
