When filing an amended Alabama individual income tax return, you must complete Form 40 (or Form 40NR for nonresidents) and check the “Amended” box. This is required if you discover any changes to your income, deductions, or credits after filing your original return. You must also attach a detailed explanation page outlining all changes made to your return.

Key Instructions for Filing an Amended Return

  • Form to Use: File a completed Alabama Individual Income Tax Return (Form 40 or Form 40NR) with the “Amended” box checked.
  • Explanation Page: Attach a detailed explanation of all changes made to your original return.
  • Mail to Correct Address: Amended returns and correspondence related to previously filed returns should be mailed to: Alabama Department of Revenue
    Income Tax Administration Division
    P.O. Box 327464
    Montgomery, AL 36132-7464
  • Impact on Federal Tax: The State return generally does not affect the Federal tax liability
