File Your Taxes Electronically
It’s the Best Way. And It’s Free!

Fast. Accurate. Safe. Convenient. These are the reasons why ALDOR encourages you to file your Alabama individual income tax return electronically. And while you can pay for help if you choose, there are plenty of free electronic options available. It’s up to you which one works best for you.

Option 1: Direct File your Alabama return with ALDOR

All Alabama taxpayers can utilize My Alabama Taxes for free individual income tax filing. My Alabama Taxes is ALDOR’s direct, secure online system. Electronically filing an individual income tax return is as simple as:

  • Create a My Alabama Taxes account
  • Click the link to your income tax account in the My Accounts list (e.g. IIT-R001234567)
  • Click “File or View returns and periods”

Learn more about filing through My Alabama Taxes. Electronic forms available are Form 40, Form 40EZ, and Form 40NR.

Please note that you cannot file your federal return through My Alabama Taxes. To learn about and meet that filing obligation, visit IRS.gov.

Option 2: Free Filing with Approved Tax Preparation Software Providers

Qualifying taxpayers may prepare and e-file, both federal and Alabama individual income tax returns using authorized Alabama online individual e-file providers.

Many of these online e-file providers offer free filing programs. Eligibility may depend on your adjusted gross income or how simple your individual tax return is. Details on each provider’s website can help you choose the option that best fits your tax needs.
