Alabama Income Tax Extension

Option 1: If you do not owe Alabama state income tax and don't expect a refund, you don't need to file an extension. To receive a refund, you must file your return by the deadline.

Option 2: If you filed a federal extension and don't owe Alabama state income tax or expect a refund, you don't need to file Form 40V.

Option 1: Pay all or some of your Alabama income taxes online via: My Alabama Taxes.

Option 2: If you owe Alabama state income tax, you must file a return or extension by the tax deadline to avoid penalties. You can only file a federal extension online. A federal extension will only delay late filing penalties until October.
Note: If you don't pay your taxes in full or e-file your return by the October deadline, late filing penalties will resume.

Option 3: To avoid late filing penalties, complete Form 40V, include a check or money order, and mail it to the address on the form. Remember, even if you filed a federal extension, you must still file your Alabama state income tax return by the October deadline.

All Alabama Tax Income Tax Return Deadlines

Important: If you owe Alabama and/or IRS income taxes and do not file an IRS and Alabama tax return or extension by the Tax Due Date, you will be subject to IRS and AL late filing penalties. Estimate IRS late filing, payment penalties. In addition, if you do not pay your taxes by the Tax deadline, you will be subject to late tax payment penalties. Filing an extension on time will ONLY eliminate the late filing penalties but not the late tax payment penalties. Late filing penalties are generally higher than late payment penalties, thus file something on time even if you can't pay anything on time!
