For those state and state-administered local taxes required to be filed electronically through My Alabama Taxes (MAT) , and for the non-state administered local taxes that may be filed through MAT/ONE SPOT, your EFT ACH debit method payments are made in conjunction with filing your return. Note: If paying via EFT, the EFT payment information must be transmitted by 4:00 p.m. (Central Standard Time) on or before the due date, to be considered timely paid. Learn more about EFT
