Montgomery, May 4, 2011—Alabama Commissioner of Revenue Julie Magee issued an order today granting automatic Alabama filing extensions to storm victims located in 38 Alabama counties. Individuals who reside or have a business in these counties may qualify for the Alabama tax relief.
The extension order allows affected taxpayers to have until June 30, 2011, to file any Alabama tax return and state-administered local tax return that would have been due on or after April 15, 2011, and on or before June 30, 2011, without being subject to penalties and discount loss. Alabama ’s tax laws have no provision for the waiver of interest; however, late payment penalties will be waived for the affected taxpayers.
Taxpayers seeking this Alabama tax relief should write “April Storms 2011” in red ink on any paper return/report that relies on this filing extension relief. In regard to electronically-filed returns/reports, affected taxpayers should contact the ADOR for filing guidance.
