MONTGOMERY, June 23, 2021 – The Alabama Department of Revenue (ALDOR) is offering tax relief to Alabama taxpayers who reside or have a business in counties for which Gov. Ivey has issued a state of emergency in response to Tropical Storm Claudette. These counties are as follows: Baldwin, Butler, Cherokee, DeKalb, Escambia, Mobile, Monroe and Tuscaloosa.

ALDOR will grant filing and payment extensions to taxpayers in the designated counties directly affected by Tropical Storm Claudette. These taxpayers have until July 20 to file tax returns and make payments due on or after June 18, 2021, and before July 20, 2021. The relief applies to all taxes administered by ALDOR, other than taxes and registration fees due under the International Fuel Tax Agreement (IFTA) and the International Registration Plan (IRP).

Affected taxpayers filing for Individual Income Tax, Corporate Income Tax, Pass-through Entities, Business Privilege Tax, or Withholding Tax may submit a penalty waiver request using the Department’s FormPWR, which can be accessed on the Department’s website. Taxpayers may submit the form to  the Department’s Income Tax Administration Division at the address on the form.
