Paper (Form Content and Barcode) Software Vendor Information
ALDOR has created a new vendor experience with SAVI (State Approvals Vendor Interface). Vendor registrations, Letter of Intent-Paper (LOI-P) submissions, and form submissions will be conducted through SAVI starting this tax year. To become an approved Alabama software vendor for Paper (Form content and Barcode), you must register using SAVI and complete a vendor registration. All new and trusted vendors must register with SAVI this year. SAVI is designed to be a straightforward process to enhance and expedite the Alabama Tax Experience.
We are currently open to accept vendor registrations and LOI-Ps. Your vendor registration must be approved before you will be given access to submit a LOI-P. The forms submission process will open later. A SAVI notification and email will be sent to you when the forms submission process is available.
If you have any questions about SAVI, please submit a Support Ticket at the “Create a Support Ticket” link under the Help tab in SAVI.
