MONTGOMERY —The Alabama Department of Revenue (ADOR) has announced that it will offer individual and business taxpayers impacted by the recent severe storms, tornadoes, straight-line winds and flooding that occurred beginning April 28, in parts of Alabama similar Alabama tax filing extensions as offered by the Internal Revenue Service.
The Alabama tax relief offered allows taxpayers located in the federally-declared disasters areas of Baldwin, Blount, DeKalb, Etowah, Jefferson, Lee, Limestone, Mobile, and Tuscaloosa counties, or whose business operations are located in those counties, until Oct. 15, 2014, to file certain Alabama tax returns that have a due date falling between April 28, 2014, and Oct. 15, 2014. This relief includes:
• Income Tax Withholding returns due for monthly filers May 15, 2014; June 16, 2014; July 15, 2014; Aug. 15, 2014; and Sept. 15, 2014.
• Income Tax Withholding quarterly returns due for quarterly filers July 31, 2014.
• Estimated Personal Income Tax returns due June 16, 2014, and Sept. 15, 2014.
• Estimated Corporate Income Tax returns (for calendar year taxpayers) due June 16, 2014, and Sept. 15, 2014.
• Any other related income tax returns due during this extension period, including Business Privilege Tax returns, as well as those related returns filed by Pass-through Entities.
Late filing and payment penalties will be waived upon request for those affected taxpayers seeking this relief. Alabama’s tax laws have no provision for the waiver of interest.
Relief measures for other taxes administered by the ADOR will be handled on a case-by-case basis.
The ADOR advises those affected taxpayers to identify their returns/reports by writing in red ink “April 2014 Storms” on any state paper return/report which relies on this filing extension relief. Those taxpayers filing electronic returns and seeking tax relief should contact the appropriate ADOR division office.
