Driver's License / State ID Card for Alabama Tax Filing
When filing your Alabama state tax return, especially if you are required to submit e-file or a paper return, you may need to provide identification documents to verify your identity. This is particularly important if you are reporting identity theft or if you are filing by paper and need to authenticate your identity.
When Is a Driver's License or State ID Required?
- Required when filing a e-file or paper tax return and claiming identity theft.
- Must be included with the paper return as part of the identity verification process.
- Accepted forms include a copy of your driver’s license or non-driver’s ID card.
- One additional form of identification (such as a utility bill or bank statement) must also be provided.
How to Submit Identification Documents
If you are filing your Alabama state tax return by paper and need to include identification, follow these steps:
