The Bankruptcy Section is responsible for the administration within the Department of Revenue of bankruptcy cases filed by Alabama taxpayers.
It is important if you have filed a bankruptcy case that you or your attorney notify the Bankruptcy Section. This will help to ensure that the bankruptcy case is properly reflected in the department’s records and that the department can file claims in your case, as appropriate.
