Procedures for Economic Development Organizations

  • Procedures for Economic Development Organizations

An Economic Development Organization (EDO) must have a My Alabama Taxes account before ALDOR can add the EDO’s approved project in the online reservation system. Once ALDOR opens the online reservation for the EDO project, we will send a web notice to the EDO that the online reservation is open and available to the donors willing to make contributions through the online reservation system.

Steps required to be taken by the EDO:

  • Create a My Alabama Taxes account so that ALDOR can open the online project reservation to receive donations.
  • The EDO has 60 days from the date the project is added to the online system to confirm that the taxpayer’s donation has been received, the project has been funded, and the project will be undertaken. The project will close 60 days from the date the project is added to the online system. Any reservations that have not been confirmed before the online reservation closes will automatically be denied.

To approve/deny the donation reservations, please follow the steps below:

NOTE! Please verify only those donation reservations for which you have received the cash donations from the donors. The donation transaction occurs outside of the My Alabama Taxes portal, directly between the EDO and the donor. Do not verify donations in My Alabama Taxes if you have not received the actual cash donation.

  • Log in to My Alabama Taxes.
  • Once logged in, click on the “Verify EDO donations/confirm project” link under Correspondence in the Accounts tab
  • Read and Accept the disclaimer shown in the next window and click Next.
  • Approve/deny donations by checking the appropriate boxes, and then confirm the information provided on the screen: Only verify the donations for which you have received cash donations. Do not verify any donations until you have received the cash from the donors.
  • Review and submit.

Please be advised that it is the responsibility of the EDO to comply with the above steps as provided in the Growing Alabama Funding Agreement. If you have further questions, please contact the Office of Economic Development.
