Quick tips before you mail

  • Check the instruction booklet for your exact-year form; addresses sometimes change slightly by year.
  • If you’re making an electronic payment instead of mailing a check , you can pay online through Alabama’s payment portal and still mail the paper return (without payment) to the “no payment” P.O. Box.
  • Always include the tax year , your SSN , and daytime phone on the return, and consider sending via a trackable mail service for proof of timely filing.
