Prior to submitting debts to the U.S. Department of the Bureau of the Fiscal Service-Debt Management for inclusion in TOP, the Alabama Department of Revenue is required to notify each debtor that it intends to refer the debt for federal offset. If you received the LOI (Letter of Intent) notice, you have 60 days to do one of the following:
Pay your debt in full. A payment coupon is attached to the bottom of each notice for your convenience, or you can go to https://myalabamataxes.alabama.gov/, click on the “Pay a bill I received” link, to make a payment.
Provide proof of payment. If you believe that all or part of this debt has already been paid, fax your documentation to 334-353-2282.
It may take several weeks for the funds offset from your Federal tax refund to be applied to your State of Alabama debt.

Yes. The Alabama Department of Revenue will continue to offset federal income tax refunds and state refunds even though you are meeting your payment arrangements. Alabama statute allows for the offset of an Income Tax refund until the account is paid in full even if you are on an approved Payment Plan. Your regular monthly payment must still be made to avoid defaulting on your Payment Plan which could lead to enforcement action.
The Alabama Department of Revenue cannot stop an offset once you are notified by the U.S. Department of the Treasury’s Bureau of the Fiscal Service –Debt Management. We will refund any overpayment to you once it has been posted to your account.
